I love using MSN Messenger – it is a great way to keep in contact with people – both in my personal life and my business life. So when I saw a story on a thing called Avail-A-Bot this morning my interest was piqued. Even if you do not look at the main link, the one on YouTube is a must since it contains a video of this device in use. The Avail-A-Bot is a small collapseable toy person. When the person logs out of MSN, the person collapses. When they get back online, the person stands up. It really is a good video. I want one!!!

The SMH has a story today about how Uni’s are seeing people go online to get work written for them. They mention the Uni of Western Sydney having had a student use the RentACoder Web Site to get work done. I get a lot of work done on that site, and I have also found a student from UWS using the site to cheat in assignments. The Uni was interested to hear about the person cheating I can tell you.

Tonight I might be off to Paramatta for a ‘Homebrew Electronics’ meeting… This is a group of people who either professionally or otherwise are into electronics. A friend of mine invited me along and I will see what it is like…
