Given the recent disturbing news that the Australian Federal Government plans to proceed with forcing ISPs to implement mandatory content filtering, it’s good to see that at least it’s not all bad news. It is currently being considered (again) as to whether the Australian National Classification Scheme should be changed to include an R18+ rating, which would mean certain games wouldn’t be banned simply for being part of that classification. You can find a feedback form here, which I strongly urge everyone to do and voice your support for rating parity with other media.

- Apparently I have a subscription to Nett magazine. Don't remember buying it though. Weird. #
- Watched the first episode of the Otomen live action series. The manga is better but the series is still watchable. #
- @m_p_p WIN Score: 1 in reply to m_p_p #
- Just realised I hadn't checked Twitter for 24 hours straight. Woah. #
- @theheadsage I'm not as confident but long ago came to the same conclusion. Also, I hate their price stickers – they're too hard to remove! in reply to theheadsage #
- Finally hooked up the old theatre system as a prototype. Works well! Now to get a new receiver with HDMI support. 5.1 sound here I come! #
- Oh, also need a digital cable from the PC for 5.1 support, rather than current 2.1. HDMI really makes things so much easier. #
- @chadnickbok As long as you like SGU!
in reply to chadnickbok # - Getting ready for a massive site update for a client. Hoping for minimal problems! #
- Had a few years shaved off my life today. Hoping a relaxing evening with new TV shows will help. #
- I've now gotten more anti-Westfield spam than actual Westfield spam. FAIL. #
- @chadnickbok Good to hear! Just wait until you get started on the Magento projects… in reply to chadnickbok #
- Quite annoying when you're in the middle of drafting an email and accidentally send it. #
- A crazy Friday afternoon. More so than most. #
- @feliciaday Loved TLJ! Have you played Dreamfall? Not quite as good IMHO but well worth playing. in reply to feliciaday #
- Again tempted by the Dell Studio 15. Enticing little vixen, and would get a very nice machine for my $1500. Should I just give in? #
- @chadnickbok Definitely getting the 1080 screen. Thinking an extra $270 for a Blu-ray drive isn't worth it. Opinion? in reply to chadnickbok #
- @tcmg I'd already tried that and fuppes. MediaTomb was the only one I could even remotely get working. in reply to tcmg #
- @mdenis The office has stayed cool this weekend, despite the lack of air con, so that's a plus. in reply to mdenis #
- This is excruciating: my train is not moving and the air con is pathetic. Good start to the week. #
- @annatheannoying Better than being "gay hostile" I guess. in reply to annatheannoying #
- Argh! This tram has no air con! #gripe #
- Opera Mobile 10 beta still has a broken input system on S60. Can't enter newlines into a text field! Non-standard shift behaviour! FAIL #
- I should mention that the rest of the browser is pretty cool. Looking forward to Opera Link functionality. #
- Train air con WIN! #
- MediaTomb is working like a charm. Too bad transcoding with subtitles is amazingly hard. Further work needed for my perfect media server! #
- Submitted my application for an RACV Club membership. Soon I won't have to pay $20 each time I want to use the gym! #
- Dinner from Grill'd tonight. Enjoyed the walk in the cooler weather. Seems a lot of other people had the same idea. #
- RT @JewelStaite: Just found out Dollhouse was canceled. "SUMMERRRRRR!!!" #
- Flying on Friday the 13th … from gate 13 … what could go wrong? #
- Trying out the Selenium testing framework. #
- @NathanFillion Maybe not – in a couple years there might be a movie! *crosses fingers* in reply to NathanFillion #
- Woot! Google Wave invite! #
- @chadnickbok Thank you for more useless yet cool trivia. @feliciaday just keeps getting more awesome really. in reply to chadnickbok #
- Cinema stuffed up and played the wrong movie. Now I'll never get to see Astro Boy! At least I have two free passes now. #
- How long has carsales.com.au had a mobile site? It's pretty nifty – even has layered navigation support. #
- Mum asked today if she could get an iPhone. Apple claims another ignorant victim. #
- Damn you people playing music at this time of night. Especially when they're songs that are going to get stuck in my head. #
- Hearing "Blue" by Eiffel 65 just reminds me of high school. #
- Ah, the party is over. Time for some sleep. #
- The great Fontis office move of 2009 is underway. #
- Most of the equipment has been moved, awaiting setup. Might have this done before the end of the day! #
- Move is complete. Fontis is now at Suite 2, Level 9, 167-169 Queen St. Easiest move ever! #
- @chadnickbok New place is awesome. You'll have to come up and see it. in reply to chadnickbok #
- Tram is nicely air conditioned. Much better than the heating they decided to use this morning. #
- Karaoke works better with alcohol. Which I am lacking. #
- @dhewlett Each beer is GMed & creates various crazy effects in the drinker; time travel, gender swap, etc. It could be comedy or horror! in reply to dhewlett #
- Hour 3 of the most epic apartment cleaning ever. Amazing how much easier the new bookcase is making things. Time for a break! #
- Finished with cleanup for now. Still not done, but I'm satisfied that "phase 1" is complete. #
- Actually hit the gym today. Feeling good, just need to keep it up. #
- Finally got my PS3 to connect to a UPnP server running on my laptop. Seems either the PS3 or router only likes UPnP over LAN, not WLAN. #
- Using MediaTomb for media serving. Not to get it finding the media to serve… #
- @lloydhazlett I'm waiting for Chrome Mobile. Might need an Android phone for that though.
in reply to lloydhazlett # - @m_p_p Agreed. I don't care if the architecture is better – the GUI sucks. in reply to m_p_p #
