Last night, for a charity function, a speed dating session was held to which I was pulled along to.
Being told the theme was red, myself and a few others went shopping on the Tuesday. On Wednesday, I received a message from the organisers that red was only preferable, not mandatory; well, there goes more money down the drain.
Overall, it was an enjoyable night, something different, and something to do.

I've always used a WEP key for my wireless security, but a friend I met in Utah used MAC address filtering. Coming home, I didn't think I would need it, but now I do and have written this little tutorial for enabling and configuring MAC filtering.
MAC filtering isn't full proof, but it will give you that additional protection.
What you want to have is WPA2-PSK, or personal, enabled with a long passphrase of numerals and letters, both lower and upper case, and by using the additional filtering, hackers will need to go through two defenses, rather than just one.
I'll eventually have a section for tutorials on their own, but for now, I'll put it here while I get things organised.

Well, Centrelink has put me into working for the dole in putting together, or repairing computers for various organisations such as schools and charities. On my first day, I received a call from Australian Talent Management to get me started on their work, but I didn't have a portfolio.
Well, I've just gone in today to their photo studio to get a portfolio started.

Last Friday I went over to Jason's and Alana's engagement party at Highways Tabaret before going over to the YSA Christmas dance.
I didn't get any photos of the dance, but got some for the engagement party.
Just for a bit of laughs, this is taken from the 70's show, "There are 3 rings to marriage; the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffer-ring."
Not necessarily true, but definitely was a great laugh.

Well, as mentioned, I went down to Docklands Wonderland Park, I believe it was called, where the ice skating rig was held. It was in an outside tent while they were still constructing the proper official rig.
Things were well but the ice had bumps, like blocks of ice put together rather than one smooth plain.
I managed and was able to get moving, though not speeding fast like many others. I would credit my quick learning to my experience with skiing also.
We finished up and had some gelati and mingled before going home.
Upon arrival to my home station to get my bicycle, some punks had ripped off the wire which changes my gears, and also the part which changes the gear itself.
I'll probably shorten the chain to make it a one gear bike I guess; such a hassle.
Nonetheless, a nice relaxing night out with the YSA of the church. |
