My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

Stage 3.

It was the motherboard. It was shorting out the power supply which took out the CD ROM drive, the fan for the graphics card, and eventually the power.

The good news is my parents are getting a new computer! The bad news is that it is made up of bits and pieces of my old computer with new bits thrown in.

The good news is that i'm getting a new computer! The bad news is that it's made up of bits and pieces of my old computer with new bits thrown in.

The good news is that I cannot work from home at the moment! The bad news is that i'm having to put in extra hours at work.

His life seemed somewhat unremarkable. A Dutch immigrant to Australia. He had survived the second great war as a child by joining the Youth Storm in Holland. He was always reinventing himself throughout life.

I knew him as a carpenter with a love of pigeon racing. I also remember him for yelling at my pet dogs, every time they barked at him when he chopped wood for his fire. A fire that seemed to be burning 9 months of the year - no matter what the temperatures outside were.

In the end he left this earth while waiting for a hospital bed so he could get a heart bypass.

RIP.

There's this great place down at Lane Cove in the arcade that, on first glance, appears to just be some standard dodgy gelato bar come cafe at the right times of day.

How wrong first impressions can be: they make all of their own gelato; they have organic freshly ground coffee; they use free range fresh eggs; they make their own bread; they have fresh ingredients for almost everything...except the button mushrooms they use.

I'm not sure about button mushrooms - in general, they always seem like they are from a can. No matter where people claim they are from. Maybe they are actually always from a can - this is one of the conundrums I will most likely never work out in my entire life unless I infiltrate the underground button mushroom trade and sort them out from the inside.

Journey Through the Past - Neil Young

When the winter rains
Come pourin' down
On that new home of mine,
Will you think of me
And wonder if I'm fine?
Will your restless heart
Come back to mine
On a journey thru the past.
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?

Now I'm going back to Canada
On a journey thru the past
And I won't be back
Till February comes
I will stay with you
If you'll stay with me,
Said the fiddler to the drum,
And we'll keep good time

On a journey thru the past.
When the winter rains
Come pourin' down
On that new home of mine,
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?
Will I still be in your eyes
And on your mind?

There is a "sophisticated graffiti gang" operating in Australia, says
Sergeant Mark Wakefield of the Victorian Police.

"They've gone to a lot of trouble and they've come prepared," he said.
"They've broken in with bolt cutters through the back of factories.

Apparently turning up "prepared" to get access for doing graffiti means that they're a highly organised crime syndicate. What will they think of next - turning up with "paint" to do the graffiti?

Turning up with bolt cutters and paint is considered a sophisticated operation? What a bunch of f'ing morons!

What do the police think they're going to do? Turn up with no means of getting in to do the graffiti and with no means of doing the graffiti? Did they expect them to purchase bolt cutters, ski masks, and spray cans from the cafe at the train station - then go do it?

Stage 2:

Ok. The graphics card was tested on another computer and it was up to spec. Now the power supply is gone. The computer just sits there and buzzes. No lights flickering. No life left in it.

Has the power supply taken the motherboard and HDD down with it? Who knows. I do not have enough spare PC parts here to really tell on my own.

This is my theory - the power supply was on the way out which was causing the fan to kick in and out of action. This was why the graphics card kept failing in my PC but not in my friends.

I'm now at the stage where I'm clutching at straws until I dismantle and test every part one-by-one.

Off to the PC doctor we go.

28 Weeks Later....



Damn straight it's back! Less plot filler - more killer.

Make sure you see the first before the second. It will give you a better appreciation of what this movie could've been.

Till 28 Months later....
