I never know what to write in this thing

If, for some strange reason you wanted a UNSW 06 diary, let me know..Mr Wu has kindly dumped supplied me with a stack of diaries.

If you didn't have Automatic Updates turned on, your clock is probably wrong. Check:

From a command prompt (Run->Cmd), type:

w32tm /tz

And you should get something like:

Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT Bias: -570min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
[Standard Name:"Cen. Australia Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:4 D:1 DoW:0
[Daylight Name:"Cen. Australia Daylight Time" Bias:-60min Date:(M:10 D:5 DoW:0

Two things to look for:

1. That your "current" timezone says "_DAYLIGHT" in it (first line)
If the fix hasn't been applied, you will be in STANDARD time now

2. That Standard time comes back (2nd line) on (M:4 D:1 DoW:0)
If the fix hasn't been applied, that line will show (M:3 D:5 DoW:0)

Turn your clocks back on the 2nd of April. See also Microsoft's support article

Who builds a uni on a hill anyway?

Testing the new photo gallery integration with Wordpress. Here's my semi-monthly photo roundup. Betty had a surprise 22nd birthday-cookup at her house. [thumb:6521:l:l=d] [thumb:6517:l:l=d] [newline]

Alex celebrated his 21st with dinner at this Chinese restaurant in Burwood. The photos are a bit orange..I didn't set the white balance right. [thumb:6405:l:l=d] [thumb:6451:l:l=d] [newline] Mike's Graduation at UNSW. Much walking that day. To quote UNSW's Tharunka (some funny art student production) "What sort of f*wit builds a university on a hill anyway?" Lots of good photos though:

The older albums will have thumbnails that are very blurry. This is because I bumped up the thumbnail size and havent updated all of them. There's also a new shoutbox on the side which you can (ab)use.
