Massive update
New Phone
I got a new Nokia 6320i from Gordo. I broke my old one when I dropped it into a pint of beer at my mum's 50th. If I'm rude and don't call you it might be because I don't have your number.
Vodaphone
To coincide with the new handset, Adam and I are now on Vodaphone. We have a cap which allows us to spend up to $500 on calls, and even though the call costs are more than I paid with Telstra, it's still a huge saving.
PSP
A few weeks back I bought a Sony PSP. I got Need for Speed with it, and because I registered it online, Sony sent me a copy of Spiderman 2 on UMD. The screen on the PSP is seriously amazing though it can be hard to see it in sunlight. It's gonna be great on aeroplane trips.
Nissan 350Z
Two weeks after securing finance the paperwork was finally finished and I got my new car. It's a silver 2003 model that's done 23,000kms and had a single female owner before me. It has just over 200kW and a 6 speed gear box, so it's pretty quick ;) Adam's getting one soon too, then we'll have some nice photos together. We got the car at the end of Friday, so it was great having it over the weekend.
Weekend Past
This weekend just gone was mental. It was a long weekend in Perth, so we had Monday off too. Friday night we saw Infusion play at the Ambar. Though they're great, I don't think I'll ever see a performance as good as their Sydney gig. Steve chipped my tooth with a beer bottle but Emma says it's nothing to worry about.
Saturday we saw the Eagles get beaten in the AFL Grand Final at our place. I still have Peter's projector (from mum's birthday) so we had the game on the big screen. Dad came down and watched the game, which was good. Saturday night I went to a party at Tommy's place with Mark and Gordon, Steve, Maggie and ofcourse Tommy. We got belted and had no sleep.
Sunday I saw Cindy and Shen for a little while and then went to Pride Fair. I missed my brother and Niko at the fair, but saw Mark and Gordon, Mark and Emma, Aaron, Timbo and Brad, as well as a few other people, including Brad (from 2600). We had a few more hours sleep than we intended which meant that we missed Drummatic Twins, but made it for The Freestylers and the DJ on outside before them. The Freestylers played what I thought was their best set ever - there was classic 'Stylers tunes, a 20 minute foray into Drum 'n' Bass and then a wrap up. Stacks of Pendulum tunes made me happy.
Weekend Future
I fly into Sydney this Friday afternoon for the weekend with Adam and Brad (two mates from 2600). We're going for RUXCON and should have a good time.

Dan was at Pride Fair and I forgot to list him. You know how these princesses get... ;)
A single owner of a car is good. A female owner in her fifties is not likely to thrash a car. I think it's a good thing.
Nu-Mark was on before the Freestylers, and he was friggin' awesome.
Hmmmpf. Lucky you only need a new phone because you dropped it into a beer.
I need a new one because some psycho decided to beat me to a pulp … :|
Also - YAY for the car! And DOUBLE YAY for the West Coast Egos getting beaten! WOOHOO! :D
Who would have thought a few years ago that you would have a Z. It’s my favourite sub $100k new car. We will have to go for a drive in the hills or coast sometime.
“… only driven to church on Sundays.”
Nice work on the Z. By “female owner” I assume you’re implying the car’s in good condition; not that gender of the owner has any real bearing on the history of a car. The other week I was a passenger in a six month old Mazda 3. The interior was trashed (literally), all of the fabrics were infused with cigarette smoke. The owner was female.
Assuming she’s had it since 2003, how much had the car depreciated in the two years the previous owner had it?
“single female owner” how do you know she was single? :)
Well done on the car mate. Try not to get caught speeding :)
Wow, what a week of money spending! Yay money!
Hey… I was a Pride too!
Have fun in Sydney
When Fitzy gets his new car maybe you should change your company name to “Z Software Group” or something similar.
Your new phone; did you mean you got a 6230i (http://www.nokia.com.au/nokia/0,,70820,00.html)?
Yeah that’s the one Jonny.
Jeesus do you guys copy each other or what! both on the same phone plan, both getting the same cars, both already have a toyota supra model car now.
You guys are like Bum-Chums!.. you both probably have the same undies too.
actually it’s quite simple. we split everything 50/50. so that makes for similar items. if we were having different stuff it gets harder to manage. this way we get the same car, same salary, same employee benefits. nothing to manage, except the rate at which we acquire toys.
underwear doesn’t come from the company, so I believe that could be quite different ;)
