Well, I'm a bit stiff and sore now - not used to running around in the bush all day! A few people asked who the people in the right photo below are - it's me in the background (spot the hair, as did many people during paintball - next time I'll wear a cap :) ) and Wolfy (forum Admin and maker of interesting fiddly bits) defending our corner of the field during the final "free-for-all". Epoch was there taking photos with Daemon's camera all day so we should get the rest of the pics soon. The bruise on my thigh is about the size of a tennis ball now, thanks YYK. :) Great day.

From the PCDB: a cool floppy drive PC.. an entire PC squeezed into an external 5.25inch floppy drive case. SilverBack has combined the ideas of a wooden-pc and a suitcase-pc. RickBishop1's custom case looks like 2 minitowers on their sides and Evil_Boeing777's is an interesting look..
Electronic Frontiers Australia have posted an action alert regarding some worrying internet censorshop laws that are to come before the NSW Parliament later this month.
