Most people use Google to search for websites, images, and so on, however some people use Google to define / look up the meaning of words.

For example, if I wanted to know the meaning of “Beach” I would type “define:beach” without the quote into Google and it will return something like “an area of sand sloping down to the water of a sea or lake” depending on what you define many other things can show up.

The other day I was watching TV and this ad came on about winning an iPhone, and I said to the others watching TV “Did you see that” and as usual they weren’t paying attention.

So I explained it to them, The ad said “Win an iPhone” they said “Yeah, and?” I responded the iPhone isn’t out here (Australia) yet, it won’t work here, my mum said “Why not” so I had to explain to her that the iPhone is locked to a specific service like AT&T for example, and then said who the right state of mind would ring up or do whatever the ad said to “Win an iPhone” ?

It’s clearly a scam of some kind, whoever cleared that ad to be shown on TV should be fired to allowing shit like that to be on tv.

I’ve been using MSN / Windows Live Messenger for years and I’ve always loved it.

But since I used WLM 8.5 Beta I have started to dislike it, the main reason being it didn’t work right, every time someone sent me a message the damn thing crashed.

 I know it was a beta version but still - why release it when it crashes all the time? Shouldn’t they fix that before asking people to test it?, So I removed it and put 8.1 back on.

But today I thought I would try 8.5 as its now ’stable’, When I first tried it I liked the new interface but now I don’t seem to like it that much anymore, and the first time someone sent me a message the Windows border went all black - I’m guessing its because I have the window borders turned off, but still that shouldn’t have happened and made me think about going back to 8.1 - again.

When I was talking to someone and I was looking at the chat and contact windows again, I just kept remembering WLM crashing back when I had the beta installed, it was starting to annoy me, I just had to go back to 8.1, I’m not sure what I will do when they drop support for my favorite version, I guess I’ll just have to get used to the new interface or use something like Trillian.

Because I’m a 501st Legion member, I’ve started getting some challenge coins the garrisons, detachments, etc make.

So far I’ve got one my garrison (Terror Australis Garrison) has made and the First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (whitearmor.net) coin.

Here are a few rather low quality photos I took with my shitty phones camera,

Found this video on YouTube a while ago and just thought I’d share it, it’s quite a good video to be honest.
