Blogger Outage

Sorry about the lack of updates in the latter half of yesterday. Blogger.COM had an outage. What I did not know about, but do now is that there is a Web Page to tell the Status of Blogger.Com. Anyway it is fixed now.

This entry will contain a lot of small links. Normal blogging will continue today now.

Some Links

There is a story on the SMH about a ‘silent’ party where guests will be required to wear headphones after midnight if they want to stay at the party. They are looking at having about 3000 people there for the event. Interesting concept.

There is another story describing how a person was killed in an argument relating selling a virtual weapon inside a computer game.

And finally, there is a Report about hackers breaking into the PABX of a Canberra hospital making lots of free calls – commonly called Phone Phreaking.

Survey Call

A few weeks ago we posted a survey for comments on this Blog. Since the natue of a blog is that people do not always look at the history of what has been posted between visits I thought I would provide another link here to the Survey

K-Mart and Sears

Sears have merged with K-Mart in the USA according to a Story in the SMH. This is a totally different K-Mart than the company in Australia. As far as I can tell the name K-Mart is licensed from the US K-Mart. The reason for the merger in the USA is that K-Mart went bankrupt.
