So very, very, addictive. My current best is 322.7

Following on from the last update (on everyone's favourite S.R. Waugh), it's not surprising that I should point out that Steve's just been named Australian of the Year by the Prime Minister.

But, much cooler is that Hugh Evans, founder of the Oaktree, was named Young Australian of the Year.

Speaking to Hugh last week (before he knew), I can say it's fantastic to know that someone who has been recognised for their work is using the publicity to promote their cause, not just bask in their own good deeds. What's more, he held 60 high school students in rapture for 30 minutes at a seminar session we were running - an amazing feat for a group that took to singing in their breaks.

So, it's not "well done" to Steve and Hugh - but "keep working, keep showing others what is possible."

This, undoubtedly, will mean nothing the majority the world, let alone TIG users ... but hey.

Steve Waugh, captain of the Australian cricket team played his last international innings today, a solid knock of 80 in one of the most gripping test matches ever played. He captained Australia to World Cup glory, to the be the number one test team in the world, departing the game with the greatest ever captain's record.

Well done Tugger

Well, in completely unrelated news, I'd quite like a holiday as I've been working through the summer on VCEnet, editing and collating all the content for 2004. I almost fell off my chair today doing some math. We cover roughly 15 subjects, with about 30 articles per subject, and each article being about 800 words long. 360 000 words. Or roughly 750 A4 pages. No bloody wonder I feel like a break (I'm a little over half way through). Although, it does make me feel a little industrious. Speaking of which, follow the link above to download a cool little guide that I compiled on successful study skills.

Finally, seeing I don't where else to write it, well done to the team an awesome theme for January, on reaching 30 000 members, and on surviving what I hear was a fantastic first stage of the WSIS summit.

Peace
Mossy
