Thailand trip (part one)

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Bek and I managed to score some really cheap JetStar flights to Bangkok six months ago in a 2 for 1 deal. In the end we paid about $400 each for our return tickets, so we’ve had six months to look forward to this trip.
The flight was about normal. It started with JetStar being late [...]

OpenWRT on the D-Link DSL-502T (Gen 1)

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

I’ve had this old D-Link DSL-502T sitting around, basically working. When I moved place just recently, I took the opportunity to look into getting OpenWRT installed on this thing, basically because I wanted something I could do DNS/DHCP serving on, while giving me some shell access. The D-Link firmware is kinda dodgy, and I always [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, but I wanted to share something cool that I found.
It’s called the Nokia Sports Tracker and you can use it for tracking your workouts. As friends of mine will know, I do a bit of running. Sometimes it’s handy to know how far you’ve gone or [...]

Matt’s bucks day

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Last weekend, we went paintballing at Hot Shots in Anakie to celebrate the fact that someone is crazy enough to want to marry him hehe
Playing in Anakie was great because of the bush setting, and I would recommend looking the Hot Shots guys up if you wanted to do paintballing. As you can see [...]

Geelong: AFL Premiers 2007

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Incredible game, Geelong annihilating Port Adelaide by 119 points. I believe it’s the largest winning margin in the history of the AFL/VFL.
It was probably the best game I have ever seen these boys play. Let’s make it back-to-back next season.
GO CATS!

Blue and White fever

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

After a close (too close..) win over Collingwood, Geelong have advanced into the Grand Final. As you can see, I managed to score some tickets from the random ballot for Geelong members.
I took a trip down to the Cattery (Geelong) and it’s really exciting to see the all the blue and white everywhere. Plenty of [...]
