Well. Day before the Easter tournament, and Megz and I are sitting in Mr. Bun on the corner of Taranaki and Dixon Streets in Wellington. Had a 10 hour drive from Auckland yesterday evening...The traffic was pretty heavy in spots.
Just got a text from Marty saying "Thank goodness for indoor tournaments". Amen to that.
So we'll just bum around today. Try to catch up with Margaret's dad today. Walk the fields and captain's meeting this evening. Nothin to take pics of, but they'll probably come later.
Oh. And Megz says "Hi" to everyone...
Ah! And a year ago today we were enjoying our second day seeing the sights in London.

PAINTBALL - Easter Weekend
Off to Wellington for the first NZPPA event for 2005, and the special general meeting (That will be interesting).
For anyone wanting to get hold of me, text is best. See you all on the other side.

PAINTBALL - Millennium goes to 15
The Millennium Series in Europe has adopted the PSP's rules for capped RoF (With legalised trigger bounce) at 15 BPS. I guess it's one way of dealing with gun cheats. I don't think it's the best by a long shot (But no one asked me).
As for what it will mean for NZ (If we still have a national rule set moving forward), I'm not sure. I suspect with firearms laws here, NZ will remain a true "semi-automatic marker only" country as we don't have the ability to detect who's firing at 15 BPS, let alone who's ramping to 20+.
Haven't found anything on Millennium's site, but there is this from 68 Caliber.com

PAINTBALL - Bits
First off, NZ FINALLY has a legal HPA bottle that can be used for Paintball. My thanks to those that have put in the yards to bring this about. To those muppets that forced the situation prematurely, bonus balls to you...:-/
Secondly. ICD have signed up as a sponsor for the AXL. Cool. Look forward to seeing what this means...
Thirdly...Day Zero of the NPPL's HB'05 starts today. No one seems to have any coverage yet...:-( I was there a year ago. *sniff* :-(::::

LIFE - My eye!
My left eye's gone funny. Maybe I have stigmata of the eye.
Flickr and Blogger have been having issues today...Bleah.
While I'm here, here's a funny one:
Tired of speeding tickets?
Want to open up spaces between you and the cars around you ?
Step 1. Tie these balloons to your car
Step 2. Drive VERY FAST
Step 3. Watch people freak out.
Step 4. Tell the nice officer you thought they were real.

LIFE - Enter the Legion
A wise man once said:
"Don't drink a can of V at 10:00 p.m. just because you're thirsty and it's the only thing in the house to drink other than water".
...Why oh why didn't I listen to that wise man?

INTERWEB - Welcome to the future
First off...I've been on Friendster for a while, but I hand't gotten around to doing much with it. Now that I'm blogging, and using the Web to communicate with others in a new way, Friendster gains another facet of usefulness. So if you haven't already, why not consider linking yourself up in Friendster and watch six degrees of separation turn in to one...
All this blogging and photo blogging made me re-watch a flash presentation I'd seen a while back. Seemed to have the possibility of being very...Prophetic:
EPIC

INTERWEB - You naughty people you...
From this article on The Inquirer (Regarding official support of the MP3 audio codec for DivX):
"Divx codecs are used by around 160m people worldwide, and a by-thumb analysis by the INQ suggests that 39.4% of those people are watching DVD-ripped porn.* µ
*not necessarily accurate."
...LOL

INTERWEB - OMG
A friend at work the other day had received a copy of a video through e-mail, so it seems this one is doing the rounds at the moment (Though surprisingly not available at Skoopy). If you haven't seen the cheerleader through the basketball hoop, have a look here. For those that played the yeti/penguin game a while back, you'll like the acompanying game as well.
LIFE - Our little musical genius
Little Poppy Tulett is growing up so quickly...Now she's at college and playing the clarinet, just like my sister Gayle.
PAINTBALL - Spimmy...
LOL. Listending to the current episode of FB Radio from 68 Caliber.com, and they're talking about Spimmys which is a process of butchering a Spyder and an Intimidator into a Frankenstein's monster of a marker, which is funny enough on its own. But when Rich says to Dale:
"I'm gonna beat the crap outta you until you play with it in a PSP event. You're playing Cup with my 22" thunderpig (Refering to a 22" Lapco barrel) Spimmy".
...LOL It just sounds funny when you hear it.

INTERWEB, LIFE - How random
I had someone ask me today if they could contact me via AIM. I said I was only on MSN nowadays and that I'd given up on ICQ. I stumbled across an article that finally got me around to looking at Trillian. For those that don't know, it allows you to use MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo, all in the same package. It's pretty coool so far.
Looks like I'm spending my weekend fixing other people's computers again. I want the black one of these:

INTERWEB - A plague on all your houses...
Bleah. As much as people hate Microsoft Passport, it saves one the plague of multiple sign-ons across multiple web sites and vbulliten boards. I try to use that same login name across sites. If that's taken use another ID which definately won't be taken. Then I use a secure password, but some sites don't allow you to use special characters in your passwords, so I use a different one.
For the most part I hate sites that REQUIRE registration just to read stuff. Come on! So I can't remember which logon I use for a site. So I click the "Forgotten password" link. When I don't get a reply, I presume it's someone else with that login, so I try the other, and I don't get that either. So ok. Was the first one or second one correct and there is an issue transmitting my password? Grrr...Hate it much!!!111!1

LIFE - Say "Ling"
I'm sailing on the Waitemata Harbour right now, and you're not...Well maybe you are. Mobile Interweb wins again.
I've been out with a mate Wes Gilfoyle on his family's boat, Ta'aroa. She's famous. Look her up. We just won today's race (My knowledge and experience was critical...*grind*grind*grind*).
Thanks to Wes and all. Good breaze today. Lotsa fun...8-)

LIFE - Sadness
Not a happy day. One of our rats, our eldest girl Malibu, passed away yesterday. She was about three'ish. We bought her and Sambuca when we moved to Auckland and back when Rum and Cola were still alive (They're all gone now too). She was the shy little thing to start and became the matriach when she became the eldest.
That leaves eight now. Still looking for a home for the last two boys and two girls from the last litter. And blasted Pepsi is preggo again after chewing a hole in the wooden floor to sneak up with the boys! Little slapper.
Mal was a sweet little thing and she will be greatly missed. Night-night little Mal-Mal.

But while I'm here. Girlguide biscuits are more addictive than pr0n (I would guess. I've never watched any pr0n before. Uh huh.)...
And there's a new'ish Strongbad e-mail at Homestar Runner. (Don't forget the easter eggs).

INTERWEB - Bloggin on da bus
It's hot on the bus. And traffic sux arse. When I first shifted to Dorkland the bus used to take 35 minutes to get to work or home. Now it's double that. Reading is good. But mobile Interweb is better.
INTERWEB - Frack it...
Alright. I give up. Everyone else is bloggin, so I'll get on the bandwagon. Normally I'm the early adoptor, but in the case of blogging it's been "Who cares". However mates are communicating via their blogs, so here I go. Meh.
