I have a lot of driving to do tomorrow… It will be interesting to see how long it takes – I expect to have the iPod playing all the time, and this will help stop the boredom of driving. Then again, I expect the country to look fantastic out there since the Australia outside the cities is always so spectacular.

I will be taking the Spinal Tap DVD with me, and I might get a chance to watch that when I am away… That is one of the advantages of having a laptop I guess. I hope to get GPRS access there but I do not think that I will… I have a feeling that I will not… But you never can tell… I found out that I can buy food up there so that is good… I just hope that the food is worth it and not too expensive.

The Register has a story about a technology called xMax. It is supposed to be Many many times faster than WiMax, WiFi, or any other technology. I suspect that this whole thing is a fake. There is now way this can work with the basic theory of telecommunications links. It just does not work. Despite the Snake Oil peddled by some of these people it just does not work that way.

On the music front, aparently the new Madonna CD is coming out this weekend. If I get a chance I will pick up a copy…
