A quick note of appology to those of you who have been attempting to contect me via various messenger clients.  We've recently had some bad weather here in SE Queensland and my phone line has been damaged somewhere.  I can't use my phone for voice calls and while ADSL is functioning I'm often loosing line sync.  If you're on messenger and I seem to disapear I assure you that it is an ADSL line sync. problem, I'm not just ignoring you.  Telstra, quick to act as usual, have promised that this will be fixed WITHIN A MONTH!
