My mother heard about her doctorate today. She basically needs to do revisions before re-submitting the doctorate to be examined again. This obviously is not a great outcome, and will take some time to fix. Not good. She can appeal this, but it is likely to be better for her to just do what they want. It is likely to be less stressful and it is more likely that she will get the doctorate out of it. But this did mean lunch at Sizzlers to commiserate the decision…

Last night when I was driving home I saw a strange car… I was going to say on the road, but technically it was not on the road. It was going westbound on the back of a truck on the M7… It was a Police Car. What is special about a police car. This one was Black and White. Like from the USA. I am guessing that this car is being used in a movie. I am not sure what movies are being shot in Sydney at the moment though.

The other thing is that this morning I realised I had left my iPod in the car overnight. By this morning, I can assure you the battery was somewhat flat. Now, there are a few different solutions. The correct one is to work out how to wire the interface cable into my iPod, including the ignition power. That way it would stop when the car gets turned off. I just love having my iPod in my car…
