A new IT guy — Lesly — started last Monday with me in Melbourne. Thrilling. Wednesday and Thursday I attended an overnight work seminar thing which was totally underwhelming. I’ve been playing with software, such as ProShow Gold to turn a bunch of so-so photos into a semi-interesting slideshow with music; it’s all automated (if you want it to be) which is nice I suppose. I also spent a great deal of time with Adobe Premiere making a few slideshow, though it’s a lot more involved/complex (but you do get better results than ProShow).

Since Optus’ “download-all-you-want-between-2-and-8-am” thing is still going, I’ve been trying to get as much TV as I can in that time. Since Chris graciously gave us That 70′s Show and Scrubs episodes from the beginning to a month ago, we’ve been watching a lot of those. As well we’ve been watching Black Books (I have all of the episodes), Arrested Development (on Trav’s suggestion, I wonder where Jason Bateman has been all this time), Lost (keeps getting more interesting), Stargate Atlantis (now I just need to get all of the original SG-1 series, since I never bothered with it), The Thin Blue Line (mid-90s Rowan Atkinson/Ben Elton comedy), Joey (I have no idea why I find this so funny, since I never really got into Friends), The Prisoner (interesting 60s TV series). All this hardly leaves time to watch our cable TV!

Enough rambling for now, I’ll try to post something interesting later toda… this week. I’ll try not to make it about Firefox or my Xbox either, but I can’t promise anything!
