I found this amus­ing, need­less to say.

  [19:23:24] <calcul831> are you from aus­tralia?
  [19:23:59] <calcul831> nvm, I’ll get the time myself
  [19:24:41] <Nikky_S> Yes, I’m an aussie mate.
  [19:25:06] <Nikky_S> I’m mad though, there’s a bill­abong out­side. :\
  [19:25:13] <calcul831> i won­der which time zone tr1p1ea is from
  [19:25:15] <Nikky_S> And all the ‘roos are thirsty
  [19:25:19] <calcul831> bill­abong?
  [19:25:48] <Nikky_S> Don’t make me get the hose.

  
In other news, I got that 50mm f/1.8 last week some­time, it’s pretty nice as a low­light lens, very sharp (it’s a prime, so that’s expected), and the small­est Canon EF lens out there.
I’m also pur­chas­ing a RAID 1 array, con­sist­ing of twin 160GB or 300GB Sea­gate SATA150 dri­ves, which should pro­vide a nice safty mar­gin for data pro­tec­tion, hope­fully. In Soviet Rus­sia, Pic­tures take you!
