95 octane petrol sucks!

Came home from holiday back over the Rimutaka hill road and my car didn't have the same power when accelerating up the hill. Also used a quarter of a tank on the way back, it didn't move with pure BP Ultimate 98.

Set up another access point in my room but time will tell if it helps.

Going to get a car wash tonight to get rid of the country grit.

Open roads!

Drove 30 minutes to Masterton to get BP Ultimate 98 to find out they stopped selling it 2 days ago! It was a great drive anyway getting up to speeds of 125Kph, not that my car couldn't have gone faster ;-). Masterton is all 10cpl cheaper because of the gull and their ethanol tax scam.

Nice bit of thunder today, made the old cottage shake a little bit.

All I'm going to do tonight is work on my renegade Fem-Shepherd in my Mass Effect marathon, playing every game several times to get a good save.

Big fun drive back over the Rimutaka hill and back to work on Saturday, twas fun holiday.

USA Mobile Phone Plan Prices

I’ve always been curious about USA mobile phone plan prices as I've always thought New Zealand carriers charge too much. It’s interesting to see that it looks like it’s common to charge for receiving text's whereas NZ seems to add it to the sender’s cost. It’d be interesting to know more about how habits in the 2 country’s differ.

MojoPack

MojoPack is a cool piece of software that lets you carry around all of your programs and data on your memory key. This is great if you're a student with limited access on a school computer or at work with lots of restrictions.

Ratchet and Clank 3 on PCSX2

Still not much hope for Ratchet and Clank 3 on PCSX2 unfortunately. It still hangs on the loading of the first level. Perhaps some day we’ll have really good PlayStation 2 Emulation like the GBA.
