Email with TLJ:

TLJ: wanted you to get this right away – accidentally sent it to kabuki a/c. Sorry.

S: Yep – sounds cool. I think Troy and Bronwyn might come up on Sunday morning

TLJ: WHY are they coming Sunday morning??

S: to look at the video equipment, teach me some HTML and to spin some disks – oh and to make some picnic food? I don’t know if it will be morning or not – haven’t figured anything out yet. so we could all head down from here whenever you want – maybe we could ALL make stuff for a picnic?

TLJ: Well, i can’t cook, or make sandwiches or anything – can I come round to your place Sunday morning then, we could go shopping and make pasta salad or something – hang on, Sunday morning’s when troy and bronwyn may be coming round, so you’ll have to go shopping and cook the night before, and unfortunately, i will be at dinner with yuri. Sorry.

S: No – we could do all that and more – and now you’ve committed to it that is what we are going to do!

TLJ: I’m really shitty today, cause S_ let me choose between a dress and skirt from Thailand, and i chose this silly skirt instead of the groovy dress and N_ got the really cool dress – plus she got the nicer sarong. I don’t know what came over me, so i’m really pissed off at myself.

S: You’ll wear each others clothes anyway – what does it matter. I’m sorry you chose the wrong one though. You ALWAYS do that!!!!

TLJ: i’m really sorry about your car – you’re pretty silly – how bad was the damage?????????????

S: Probably a couple a hundred bucks – I dunno. It’s not major or anything but I should get it fixed when I get it serviced next which should be in about eight weeks or so.

TLJ: And how cool if you go to houston texas – i really hope you get to go – it’s full of racist rednecks – S_ went there for work 5 years ago.

S: I was waiting for you to say that I would fit right in there! But I’m glad you didn’t.
Thanks again for a great night last night – I had a lot of fun sweety. Hey, you know how I said I was up all Sunday night with stomach problems – well, I actually was up last night with stomach problems – must have been all that food swilling in with that Coke!
Love ya babes Shaun

TLJ: I’m really upset right now – C_ “misplaced” her camera with my film in it – it’s my film from the farewell party – i took all these photos with the really cool people on tour. It’s got all my personal photos on it, so i’m really shitty.

S: Why has she got it??? why didn’t you get it off her before???? Baabbbeeee…..

TLJ: anyway, right now looking at Home Site – i think i like it better than dreamweaver (the help is better for a start), but its interface is much more cluttered. I haven’t started using it yet though.

S: Cool – did Bronwyn give you any help on ones to try out? Are you going to get credit for your work?

TLJ: mail me, i’m bored. Coming for lunch with me?

S: I’ll be there in spirit…..if that’s any good to ya!?

TLJ: Forgot to tell you – think i figured out what went wrong with the exclude filters – It’s the way you define the filters – like whether you have one exclude filter for excluding files AND IP addresses, or 2 – 1 to exclude files, one to exclude IP addresses. Having a filter with several elements (all files) works as AND, while defining separate filters with one element works as OR. But if you define different elements in the exclude, this only excludes say the defined files from the defined IP addresses – rather than all the files and all the IP addresses. It’s extremely confusing.
I also solved the mapping probs by using UNCs.

TLJ: Also just remembered – we’ve got a trial evacuation – 9-10am – cool huh?
Walking to work today – i guess you heard about the siege at the greek embassy – anyway, there were heaps of fire engines, ambulances and police cars – they’ve blocked off castlereagh street i think. There was a bit of a crowd there – i was wondering what was going on. I heard there was a protest at the greek embassy – i thought it was in england!!!!

S: You are right about my money situation you know – thanks for talking about it last night. If I can get these bills out of the way which probably won’t be until April then I’ll start putting some extra by. You gotta remind of this when I say let’s go out and do such and such! we’ll go and do cheap things

TLJ: I did not say anything about not spending money on me! I said stop spending money on crap things you don’t need like food and comics. Where’d you get the idea I was talking about us?????????????????????? I think i’d better have another talk to you…………………

S: Yes – I think I need a good talking to! Come and sort me out sweety!
you can go do expensive things with yr other boyfriends! So – how about a movie night at my place?

TLJ: I really think you should just keep a track of where your money is going – and whether all that spending is necessary – and maybe limit your spending on certain things each fortnight. You can spend less some weeks, and make up for it other weeks – and eventually things will even out, and you can save more or less some weeks, but it will average out and you will have saved a set amount of money – then you can spend some on unexpected occurences (like my birthday………………………..).

S: I would take all your advice seriously if you were in control of your own finances!
No, actually I will restrict myself on certain things for a while……

TLJ: I’ll help you babes, ok?

S: Yeah – thanks my friend! How’s you day? I’m busy today – it’s not fair!
