Bought a couple of prepaid mobiles for son and daughter today. Spent a half hour or so setting them up and the kids made the evening hideous as they tested out ringtones and got lost in menu options. This should make us all a little better organised in future and prevent mishaps such as this afternoon where two of us set out to pick up son from his after school game session.
I'd gone to the airport to drop off Kerri - she's flying up to Cairns in far north Queensland for a conference - and then headed into town, where I browsed in the remainder bookshop, picking up a copy of Tim Severin's Robinson Crusoe book, before arriving just as son hung up (my) mobile phone which I'd lent him. He didn't tell me that he'd just called home and my daughter was coming in to collect him.
We went back to the car and were about half way back home when we saw our other car heading in. Lucky daughter saw us, so she didn't spend time wandering around Civic looking for her brother, but still this sort of thing should be avoidable in the future.
Looks like we're having an Australian Bookcrossing convention in Sydney in October. I'll bite the bullet and see if I can launch Bookcrossing Through OZ there. As it happens today I finally hit on the ideal opening chapter, and as luck would have it, it has a Sydney theme. I'll also get a new edition of my first book out - the print in the first edition is way too small, and it needs a wider gutter.
Took the laptop for a walk this evening. Connectivity peters out within 50 metres, so our neighbours will know there's a network around, but that's about it. Made sure there's a good key on it.
