A while after I last reported about the battery problems I was having, I took the battery to NextByte in the city and shipped the battery off to the service centre. 3 days later, it was back in my hands and I'm happy to say it now works perfectly! No sudden discharges and the computer sleeps properly when there's no power left.

Sony BMG (hissssssss) has put up a bunch of Ben Folds [Five] videos online. Woo! (Pity about the crummy flash movie player, though.)
I saw An Inconvenient Truth tonight as part of the Sydney Film Festival. Al Gore provides some hard facts on global warming and the effect OUR activities have had on the planet over the past few decades.
This is one of those films that ALL people should see, no matter which country they're from.
There aren't any more SFF sessions, and it's apparently not coming to Australia until September… which means you might need to obtain it from more dubious source. Although I doubt the movie distributors are listening, BitTorrent would be the perfect medium to get the "message" out there.
(As a side note, I've moved across to one of EnergyAustralia's renewable energy plans, to contribute some small part to this. It's as easy as filling out an online form.)
