Skype for Linux: Finally, with video

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

About time, Skype guys! We’ve only been waiting for ages for the Linux client to catch up to the Mac and Windows versions to get video.
I have this feeling that it’s been brought on my the new Nokia N810 internet tablet to be released shortly this month. The N800 (which I have) does include Skype, [...]

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!

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 [...]

Geelong (def) v Collingwood at the MCG

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Geelong, now 10 straight wins this season after defeating Collingwood at the MCG by 16 points, in front of a crowd of over 85,000 people.
I don’t think I’ve ever been to an AFL game this huge before. It was a great experience, even if we did sit in the nose-bleed section.

I don’t know how I [...]

No smoking in pubs is awesome

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Note to self: Don’t blog while drunk. It doesn’t make sense
Went out on Friday night to catch up with Shane. It was the first time i’d been out since they brought in the new anti-smoking laws, and it was awesome. It’s also funny seeing the smokers huddling outside in the cold, freezing their [...]
