LG DV6812P Region Free

This article describes the steps required to make this particular DVD player region free. I believe the instructions work on some other models. If these instructions work for your LG DVD player (and it’s not a DV6812P or in the list below), please let me know. To make this player region free (or change the region to something else), do

Welcome to Vodafone. You’ve made a great choice

“Welcome to Vodafone. You’ve made a great choice” Those were the words waiting for me when I opened a letter from my mobile phone company today. I find it somewhat intriguing that after being with Vodafone for over 3 years they only decide to send me a welcome letter now. Apart from that there has been no news from my

War in Iraq

Well, the war in Iraq has now been going on for one week today. Personally I have a lot of mixed feelings about the war, but for a long time now I have felt that it was inevitable that there would be some sort of conflict. I support the Australian and coalition troops 100% and hope that as many possible

Flu Injection

I had my yearly flu vaccination today – given to me by my Grandmother. Personally I think it is wise to have it, especially as a University student as crowded places such as lecture theatres are a perfect place for viruses to spread. The actual injection itself is painless, but the injection area (shoulder) does get a little tender a

Updates

Well, it has been a while since my last journal entry. Today there was a very small drama this morning at University. We were in class in Building 17 when the fire alarms went off. The whole building was evacuated. Everybody was standing outside wondering what was going on until the fire brigate turned up a few minutes later. Apparently

Archive Removed

I have temporarily removed access to the yearly archive whilst I sort out some formatting issues.

This Weekend

I spent this weekend at Justin’s house. We went and seen Final Destination (see previous journal post) and spent the remainder of the time doing our usual things together 🙂 I got some late birthday presents as well. Sharon got me a gift voucher for Richmond Records (a music store) so I bought “Don’t Say a Word” on DVD. Justin

Final Destination 2

I seen Final Destination 2 this evening with Justin. The movie wasn’t the best movie, but it was satisfactory and provided some release from the world for 90 minutes. Those who have seen “Final Destination” would know about John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High” playing soon before somebody dies. In the second movie this song was featured once, in an elevator

Gangs of New York

This evening I decided to visit Sharon who is a close friend of both my mum and I. We went out and grabbed a quick bite to eat before going to see the movie “Gangs of New York” starring Leonardio DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis and Cameron Diaz. “Gangs of New York”, despite being extremely violent, was a very good film.
