Earthquake in New Zealand!

A very slight one in Auckland, just happened. It rocked my chair but nothing came off the shelves so it wasn't too bad. Still pretty scary though. My friends all experienced similar things. It's the first earthquake I've ever experienced. I just had to explain to my girlfriend's little sister how ea...

ClearLooks theme (patched uxtheme.dll) and 3 Depths of Solitude background. Both of which I found on Deviantart IIRC. I like bright and weird and I love the almost-Linux look of this theme. Very clean and very simple.

Got me a Wii with Red Steel. It isn't actually a bad game despite what most of the reviews say, the control scheme is a bit awkward at first but after an hour or two it becomes almost as easy as using a mouse. I dislike the sword fighting though, it doesn't feel like I'm actually in control of the s...

What's with people carrying guns? Where are you going with them? What are you going to do, get mugged and start a shootout? Hopefully more for intimidation than use. That or going to the firing range

Cell 1 and Cell 2, wallet. You need (well, not NEED but, it saves money in the long run) two cells to get anywhere in NZ coz we have two opposing networks with great deals for their own networks only. Most people have both though... so it's kind of self-defeating ^.^
