Earlier this month, the Australian government launched the National Do Not Call Registry. Based on the Do Not Call Register Act 2006, telemarketers are required to check all numbers against the list before they make a call. If they fail to do so, then they could be in breach of the act and face penalties.

Even though this register doesn’t go anywhere near far enough as charities, educational institutions, the government and politicians can still call, at least it’s a start (just watch out for those politicians raising money for some fundamentalist cult).

Everyone head over and sign up and if you get anymore telemarketing calls, don’t just yell abuse and slam the phone down, well still do that but make sure to interogate them first and then file a complaint.

Bogan 1: I hear the Maccas down here is real shit.

Bogan 2: Smells good!

Holly was browsing a cross stitch web site the other day and found this absolutely amazing page.

Exterminate!

I was seriously blown away. I thought that knitting was all about making socks and scarfs. I especially like the mini tardis sitting in the background. Obviously geeks knit too.

Thanks to Shigella for really making me day.

The theme, inspired by the brilliant Slashdot page, has matured to a point where I’m not embarrassed to show it off. Don’t look too closely cause there are many things still broken, mostly the fonts and colours, but hopefully these will be cleaned up within the week.

I would have to say that writing this theme has been an interesting learning experience in CSS. When I have uploaded the final theme, I’ll make it available for download to anyone thats interested.

I have finally decided on Wordpress. Check back for more info soon!
