April 06 Messenger 9.0Well, after much thought and deliberation about upgrading to Messenger 9.0 form 8.5, and after chatting with others regrding it, I went ahead and downloaded/upgraded to the newer version. At first, it seems very much like the Beta Version 9 that I loaded on a dew months back, which did not work well at all, and I was thinking that, 'here we go again' I am going to have to try and get back to 8.5. As soon as I started using M9.0, I slowly watched all of my contacts disappear from the list, again this happened to me using Beta 9. However this time, I have been able to put all of my contacts back onto my list, at first was disappearing again but now, they are staying on. Which is very good. I have also noticed that the setup is almost the same as the old version, a little different in some areas. The best thing about it for me personally is that now if I close a message window down when the conversation is over, it does not crash, (touch wood). This makes it a whole lot better for me, because if I have more than one conversation going at the one time and I accidently close one off, I can keep the other going and then if I need to continue with the other again, I can just start it again. Instead of completely losing all conversations at once, shutting messenger down, logging out, and then try to get back online , which sometimes took ages to do. The new messanger I find is a lot better, even though I have not seen its full potential yet.
I would like to thank Mei and Feya for their sound advice in this matter March 15 New MessengerThis time I am not going to complain about Messenger, but any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated. As you know, I have had some trouble with the existing Messenger forever just shutting down on me halfway through a conversation with some very good friends of mine that I have meet through this chat line but not face to face. Now ever time I start up Messenger I am getting a message to say that a newer version of Messenger is ready to install. I am a little reluctant to do this at this point in time due to my experience I had when I upgraded to the Beta Version 9 of Messenger, (which I have be told was a bad idea). What I wold like to know are, is it worth the effort to install it. Has anyone actually installed it yet, is it stable and not likely to crash, is it compatible with additional add-ons like SweetIM or Bandoo. I am still currently on Version 8.5 and undecided whether to install. Any advice or experience with the new Messengr would be appreciated. Thanks.

Quote You're a Part Time Brainiac January 26 Web CamsI had my first ever Messenger Web Cam experience this morning,  thanks Erica (from Argentina)  , unfortuneately since my system is fairly old and the fact that I do not have a Webcam on my system, it was only a one way Webcam conversation. I will be getting a Webcam when I get a new computer, but until then I will feel sorry  for the people who want to use it and can not get the link-up. I can see them ok, but won't be able to see me. SorryNovember 15 Bloody MessengerI am writing this because I am getting Pis*ed off with it  . I enjoy chatting with people who wants to chat with me, but every time when the conversation comes to an end and I close down the message window, Messenger 8.5 freezes on me, and keeps coming up with 'not responding'. Therefore, I have to completely shut the program down, which automatically signs me out of it and all the Messenger icons disappear . This happens even if I accidently hit the Esc key and closes the window as well. It is getting very annoying having to sign in all the time. I have tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it, as I thought it may be a problem with the program that is installed at the time. I have even upgraded from Messenger 7 to Messenger 8.1 and now Messenger 8.5, that still did not fix it. I even installed Messenger Beta, (which is 2009 Version) but this does not have to same features as M8.5 and previous versions. Beta does not have the SweetIM linked to it when you are chatting, it also does not have the Tab down the left hand side of the Live Messenger Window and I find that it does not crash on me when I close chat windows but it stops me from accessing the net when Beta is on. I have spent so much time messing around with Messenger, trying to get it to work properly that I have come the the conclusion that it is obviously a problem with my actual computer, (which is old in computer terms), and I think the only way that this is going to be fixed is with a new computer. I am now on Messenger 8.5 again and will have to put up with it as to such time as I do get a new computer. I have had my say. Any comment in this matter would be good.

September 28 Holiday PhotosI will be uploading more photos next month from my trip to Dubai and Singapore, as I have just exceeding the upload limit amount, which I was not aware there was one. I have added 855 photos this month. Uploaded a few more than that, and had to delete them because doubled or severely out of focus or to dark and couldn't see anything. So I think 1000 photos may be the limit that you can upload in one month. I will see what happens in October as I still have few 100 photos to go. You are quiet welcome to view them all so I hope that you all enjoy them as much as I did in taking them September 17 Back from HolidaysWell, I'm back from 8 days in Dubai and 3 in Singapore, 100's of photos to upload over the next few day, keep an look out for them August 31 Holidays In five days time, we leave for our long awaited trip.  This trip was booked almost 6 most ago  , and it seems like at he time, it was going to be an eternity for it to arrive. Well, we was counting down the months, then the weeks, and now the days until we leave. Soon we will be counting down the hours  . We have a full weeks work ahead of us so there is a lot of things to finish off, hopefully before the end of the week, We are getting picked up late on Friday and heading of to Brisbane International Airport for a midnight flight. First stop will be Singapore, for half a day, then off to Dubai for about 8 days, and then back to Singapore for a couple more days, so looking forward to this trip. I have been to Singapore on a number of occasions, and absolutely love the place and the people. But this will the first time ever to Dubai. Hoping to see as much as of the country, places and people as possible in the short time we are there. Should come back with a lot of photos to be posted here and hopefully a lot of good memories as who know when I will ever be able have the time to go back.

  Peter (getting old) Banana DietAt the start of July we got a new set of weighing scales just to keep an eye on our weight as we want to lose a little, this particular set of scales measures weight, body fat %, body water %, muscle mass and bone mass. The scales seems accurate enough. The first day we used them I checked my weight and it read 84.5kg
, which is ok but still would like to be lighter, and my body fat was at 27.8% , way to high!!. (The old scales read anything between 82kg and 88kg, within just a couple of minutes of each weigh). My wife then told me about a 'Banana Diet' from her friend, where you just have a banana for your breakfast instead of your normal brekkie. I thought that I would try it , not expecting anything to happen. In the first couple of weeks, my weight dropped to 80.5kg and my body fat dropping a little, but now my weight has dropped to about 79kg and my body fat is about 23.4%. My overall aim in this so called diet, (if it continues to work ) is to get below 75kg and 22%. Just by having a banana for breakfast and not changing anything else, eating habits or exercise routine, which there is none, I managed to loss some weight and basically keep it off. If anyone reads this and decides to try it, let me know how it went for you, so I know that it is the diet and not just coincidence August 02 Hit CounterJust successfully uploaded the Page Hit Counter, but couldn't set a starting number, so therefore it automatically gave me a starting figure of 00001, which for all of you people how have visited my site knows that number is not true. I tried to upload different themed counters from an external web page, which allows you to edit the starting number but got I have no idea how to actually bring it into the blog page. If anyone does know, please tell me so I can get the right number up on the page. July 19 What to do?Not much to talk about this time. Been having quiet a few late nights watching the Tour de France. I would like to eventually get back onto a bike, but alas I have to get my old bike fixed or get a new bike altogether. The second option is actually the better one for me at the moment as the old bike is very heavy, (compaired with today bikes), but it is all going to cost a bit more than what I can afford at the point in time, the cheaper option is to get the old bike fixed up, but if I want to be able to keep up with other people, I'll only the latest and the best, Mind you, I will never be able to go as fast as the riders in the Tour de France go. July 08 Astronomy PicturesIf you like Astronomy and looking at the stars, then you should check out this site, called 'Astronomy Picture of the Day', (APOD). this site has 100's of cosmic photographs of the solar system, stars, galaxies, and space. Very interesting with a description of the photograph to explain exactly what you are looking at.
Good for all amateur astronomers.
July 05 Krispy KremeKrispy Kreme Donut luanched its grand opening today at Pacific Fair Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast. we had to go down to check it out. The bloody queue when we got there was quite long so we did what we had to do there and went back hoping the queue had decreased a little, it wasn't to be. We decided to stand in line and time how long it ould until we actually got to the counter as te line seemed to e moving at a steady rate. Well, 50 minutes later we got there. ordered a six pack of assorted donut and went on our way. Still the time seemed to go quickly (maybe, I just getting older). Delicious June 24 SydneyWhat a weekend in Sydney it was, excellent weather, (even though a bit cooler) but enjoyed it thoroughly. Sun was shining for the most of the time we was there, just some light cloud that dropped the temperature a couple of degrees when the sun went behind it. I am starting to pay for it now as did a lot of walking around the City and to and from place in the city, I think must have walked 10 - 15 kilometres in total, don't normally do that much exercise. The back of my legs was hurting on Monday as I was not use to all the extra movement I did. But it is a good hurting feeling, so I am happy to do it. I had actually forgotten as to how close everything was to each other. On the map, Circular Quay seem to be a lot further from Darling Harbour than it actually was. I thought it would take about 30 minutes to walk it, but it seemed like only 10. Cheated a bit a took a bus down Oxford Street to Paddington, as was running out of time on Sunday, shops Facades on Oxford Street look all the same, (old style buildings), but still looks up-to-date on the inside, as you expect. I normally only glance at what is in them, and don't take much to forget what it was when I get to the next shop. Hey, I'm a man. Food was great, had a Chinese meal on Sunday, only $8 and it was huge, I could barely finish it as I was still getting over my 5 course cake feast the day before, but I managed to. June 22 Sydney TripGreat trip back from Sydney, great eather, a bit cool but OK, Visited The Rocks, Darling Harbour, Centrepoint Tower, Opera House, Paddington, Circular Quay June 16 Forthcoming TripLooking forward to the weekend already, even it is only Monday, having a quick trip to Sydney just for Saturday and Sunday, its been a while since I was there, hope the weather good, don,t want to be rained out June 09 Wintersun 2008Sunday, 08/06/08 went to the 2008 Wintersun Festival at Coolangatta for the second year running. Definitely picked the best day of the long weekend to go to it, as the weather was crap on Saturday and Monday. Only spend about an hour there but getting to the place seem to be longer with all the traffic around the area and parking was a nightmare but I knew it would be. Would like to have been there longer, but wasn't able to. Seen a lot of great looking street machines and a few bikes, reckonized some cars that I actually took photos from last year, but not realising it until I checked the other photos. So much work is put into all he cars and bikes, checked out the markets while we was there, (not to interested in that).
