Hey, are you Australian? Want to speed up your FTP transfer times? Okay then, each time before you FTP something have a look for an Australian mirror site. The transfer rate will approach the fastest speed of your modem, rather than the bursty, slow traffic you get over the US link. At the same time, you'll be freeing up bandwidth for everyone else. Thanks.
IRC's Robinhood (Robin Darroch) snapped this in the toxic dungeon where I used to Netsurf.
Information wants to be alive, especially the latest news...
Time Daily, a good service from Time Magazine.
Alternatively, you could research the news yourself. Especially where East Timor is concerned. My favourite search engine, the Wandex, will help, as will The Awesome List. On second thoughts the Wandex is old hat... raise your glasses and toast SavvySearch.
This may scare you. It is the future of news.
Get digital...
Coolness...Independent E-Zines are the way to fly. From 1991-93 I was a student at Charles Sturt University and Editor-in-Chief of Interp, so I won't let you forget campus newspapers.

Trying to become /<-r4d on IRC (Internet Relay Combat)? Get yourself a decent script for a start.
Credit where credit's due: Justin Hall inspired me to try HTML and his Links from the Underground is better than good.
Musically, I hereby direct you to REM, Nirvana, Green Day, U2 (yes this is a weird mix) and some of the the other sites I should have bothered to find. To hear some music next, get thee to IUMA.
Anybody patient enough to download MPEG movies? You can always read a good book while you wait.
I must be totally nuts. If I say you can send a free fax to anywhere in the world, that site will get much too busy. Good thing there's an equivalent in Australia. Oops.
Fish fan? Fish cam!
Freedom of expression brings out all sorts of things. The Creative Internet has a wilder side called The Asylum, but if that's not good enough, try The Web's Edge.
She's dead, wrapped in plastic.
Now get outta here and go for a wild ride to a random Web page with URouLette!
More? You want MORE? You want Yahoo. You want Australian Web sites? The aaabook even has me in it.
I was born on 9th March, 1970, in Edinburgh, Scotland. When I was nine, my family emigrated to Australia. Ever since I can remember, I've had a kind of wanderlust and a desire to keep totally in touch with the whole world. Australia is a huge place with plenty of destinations, but I've also travelled in Europe, the UK and New Zealand. Once, I even clocked up two days in Singapore. Of course, travel takes money, so I currently explore the world via the Internet.
I became a journalist because I do a lot of creative writing anyway.
While journalism feeds my desire to stay in touch and I can do it okay, it's pretty stifling and doesn't do much for my creativity. I'm happy enough in my own job, but many of the people I graduated with are under-employed, paid very little, treated badly and/or disillusioned. Most journalism today seems stagnant, full of compromise and lack of vision -- it's like this worldwide. I believe there's far too much intelligence and talent out there to waste.
I hope to help remedy this via the Internet, by helping people publish themselves.
