Slashdot is reporting to the world that the Labour Party wants to put content filters on all ISPs rather rely on parents loading software onto their PC.

According to NEWS.COM.AU, Telstra is investigating upgrading its Bigpond Cable to faster speeds as a way to get around some regulatory hurdles. They note that the speed of the new version of cable would be 100 MBps, or 100 times the standard ADSL rate in use in Oz. The problem is that this 100 MBps is shared with lots of other users… maybe hundred or more other people.

And todays SMH is also reporting that the Lane Cove Tunnel may open in december, unless it is pushed back as requested by the premier to improve his chances in the election when the other streets get narrowed.

Enough of this… Time for breakfast, and then work. Programming… fun!
