Ahh the insanity ends

The govt ban on blogspot has been revoked. Apparently there was a bit of a mixup. The government only wanted some specific blogs banned but the ISPs landed up banning all of blogspot. Oh well.. At least it's fixed now.

Finally got my amp back from repairs on Monday. Seems ok except for a weird problem with the standby mode. If I put it on standby and then put it on after a while, I get some random distortion in the left channel. The tech guys at the shop have recommended a change in the electrical cabling at home which should be done in a few days. Bit of a relief on the whole. Was going kinda nuts with only the ipod for music listening.

Last week on a friend's recommendation I started reading Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Absolutely hilarious. The funniest thing I've read since Douglas Adams' Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy. I'd say it's to fantasy what Adams is to sci-fi. Luggage with 100 feet which follows it's master no matter what, dragons which only exist if you believe in them, a planet which rests on the shell of a giant turtle.... And that's just the first of over 25 books!!! Can't wait to read the rest of them :)
