If it’s not known, but since getting ADSL some 4 months ago it’s been a huge problem. Constantly being disconnected and loosing sync all the time. It follows a pattern, but basically went from every 20mins loosing sync, to every 7 mins in the extreme case.

So yeah our internet connectivity has been a pita. I spent about 3 months dealing with Netspace and Telstra to resolve the fault. In that time it never got resolved and I wasted 3 months dealing with it. Sure enough Telstra would claim it’s in the house end. They did check it on a site visit, but the tech who did so never updated his work order to reflect it was okay. From that point on they insisted I have a 3rd site visit to check something we had already had checked. So I fought it, and tried too. In the end I requested to get out of contract and well Netspace screwed me around. In the end they made me last out my last remaining 2 months of the port contract.

As of August 8th, I’ll finally be able to drop the service. Finally be rid of the issue. Although very disappointed by Netspace. It’s the 2nd time I’ve had issues dealing with them when I have a line fault. Lesson 2 learnt. I’ll never ever use this ISP ever again. Even if they have the best price. It’s just not worth it.

If you’d like to read a little more about the ordeal be sure to check out the following thread here on whirlpool forums.

Finally, we have a roof. As of today the roof tiles were being installed onto the house, and it’s about time. Pictures below can be clicked for a slightly higher resolution version.

It’s taken nearly 4 months to get to that point. Can’t wait for it to get to lock up stage, as things should start to sail along from that.

Back in primary school I had a mate who was my best friend. We would always be at each others house doing various things do. It was always fun, and our parents though alot of each other. It was like having another brother. Especially for my best mate, as he was the only boy in his family. Apart from his Dad.

I am sure I have photos of us both doing various stupid things, I should really dig around and try to find them when I move again. As currently I am still living out of boxes while our house is still being built.

As we went to High School we still hung out, although didn’t spend as much time doing things together, however still remembered the good times of primary school.

Unfortunately, his life was taken early when he was involved in an accident on Appin Road, which was by no means his fault. Just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Other people involved came out with various injuries, however Justin Field didn’t.

Just like clockwork his family members continue to publish something in the local paper every year, and below is that published item.

I’d just like to say that Justin Field will always be remembered by me and my family, as he was my very best mate from primary school.

And he will never be forgotten, thinking of you always mate.
