So far today I have destroyed over $100 in equipment thanks to having installed a resistor on the circuit board. This part costs about $11 for a roll of 5000. Purchased in the sort of quantity that any large equipment manufacturer would buy them and I am sure that the parts in question would probably be approaching 10 for a cent. So the mere presence of a part costing under a cent has cost me over $100. <\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Something is wrong with this world I suspect if that is the case. ARGH. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway I have just heard that my 10AM meeting is still on so I need to get going&#8230; ARGH. I wrote the parts below before this bit obviously.<\/p>\n<h2>Save Darryl<\/h2>\n<p>There is a Web Site called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.savetoby.com\/\">SaveToby.Com<\/a> in which people are encouraged to donate money to save Toby the Rabbit from, um, meeting an, um, (un)savory end. The Web Site sounds like a joke in terms of accepting donations, apart from the merchandise. And although you can buy the merchandise, it really is a joke too. <\/p>\n<p>A friend of mine threatened to start up his own version, of the form <a href=\"http:\/\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/href\">SaveMyPet.Com<\/a> to which I replied that I was also thinking of starting one&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/href\">DontSaveMyPet.Com<\/a>. This would allow a bidding war, and increase the income available from the site. Quite Logical I think. To which he wants to register another new domain, <a href=\"http:\/\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/href\">DontSaveDarryl.Com<\/a>. If such a domain ever exists, I would encourage you not to donate to it. Please. I Guess <a href=\"http:\/\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/href\">SaveDarryl.Com<\/a> will be linked to this WWW site real soon now. <\/p>\n<p>You *WILL* be required to donate to the <a href=\"http:\/\/new.radio-active.net.au\/web3\/href\">SaveDarryl.Com<\/a> site when it becomes live. It will be in the updated terms and conditions for accessing this web site. <\/p>\n<h2>Cute Photo<\/h2>\n<p>Here is another cute photo from my collection. It is from a Hollywood Parking log back in 2000. I seem to recognise the man with the shadow, but I can&#8217;t remember the company name.
