A new phone and Internet

Rod Geri rang me this morning and we discussed getting a new phone/internet system installed. After a while, I agreed to go for a new mobile phone and a fairly cheap broadband internet. Overall, this should cost me less than I am paying now. let's see how it works out!

ACN Meeting

This evening I attended a meeting held by ACN at the Barclay on View in View st. Rod Geri told me about it. Peter Fox and Manny Mavroustakis attended also. A chap was talking about a telecommunications company that I had not previously heard of. This is a chance to earn some residual money if I go ahead with it. I got an email from TAOC telling me that I have not been successful in my application to work with them.

Some new purchases

Today I bought a HP printer from Dick Smith Electronics. I also bought a new pair of trousers from Lowes. I feel that I am starting to get a proper office set up.

No joy from XXXX

This morning I received a phone call from XXXX Antiques in Castelmaine. I was told that I would not be getting employed by them. The owner has decided to employ another person on a full ttime basis. That means I miss out. That is OK.

30 th "Spiritual birthday"

Today (13/02/2011) marked a special occasion for me. I became a christian this day 30 years ago.
I feel that 30 is a significant year. In a biblical sense, it marks a time of maturity. I went to church this morning as usual and in the evening, I had a quite celebration at home with pizza and red wine.

It was a quite day but a good one.

A new backup drive

At lunch time today I walked up to Dick Smith in the marketplace and bought a backup drive for my PC. I feel it is necessary to have a backup so that I do not loose any data.

TAOC and Ramjahal

Today I went for an interview with Louise Howland who runs TAOC (The Art of Conversation) in Kangaroo Flat. This is a board game that is sold overseas. She also shares her business premises with Ramjahal, an embroidery business run by her partner Keith Lamb (the former lead singer of Hush, a famous rock group from my youth). I was there to discuss the prospect of keeping their web site updated on a regular basis. I was actually a day early (my mistake), but they were very gracious about it. We had a good talk and although nothing firm was decided, she sent away an email to the bloke who created the web site so that we could both get more information. I will find out more later.
