Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been down the South Coast at my parents place, having an early Easter and chilling out. I had hoped there'd be more news posted in my absence but no matter, I'll see what I can rustle up for you now..

Customs and the Australian Federal Police have seized Australia's second largest shipment of heroin and arrested three people in a joint operation that culminated last night, the Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator Ellison has announced. Customs officers found approximately 380 kg of heroin allegedly concealed in packaged rice noodles when they inspected a sea cargo container that arrived at Fisherman Islands Wharf in Brisbane from China on 15 March 2002. Hmm, I thought I'd been enjoying my rice noodles a little too much lately.. more info here.

Matt D says Asus Ti4600 on epox 8kha+ - Just letting you know that this combination actually does work. The capacitors are firmly touching, but the card does plug in fine. Hope for the epox lovers yet. I can confirm that the MSI Ti4600 card is OK on the EPoX board too.

Newbie streaks to the top of the "weird stuff" ladder for this week with this article about a schoolgirl with a 7cm tongue. Those pics are kinda disturbing. :)
