There is something profoundly disturbing when you log into your brother-in-law’s laptop (or sister’s … you take your pick) and the host name (computer name for you non-nerds) is the root password on the laptop you own. Now for those of you not in the know, a “root” password is the password you use on certain computers to be able to do anything you want. Things like removing important system files (which normal people shouldn’t be able to do), reading important files, and pretty well much anything else your little heart desires. Think about it as the “root” password gives you super-human powers to do anything you want on a computer.

While the fact that his computer’s name and my password are equivalent, what freaks me out more is just how someone could think that someones password should be used as name for your computer. Sure, someone looks at your computer’s name and thinks, “… weird”, and leaves it at that, but I’m sure 9/10 people would ask, “Dude, why on earth did you name your computer that?”

Lets see you get out of answering that without mentioning something about a password …

Just thought I’d put in a quick welcome back to Aus. for Jacqueline and Dan. A couple of points on your post though.

Yes the sun is bright. My guess is that it might have something to do with it being a huge ball of fire. Don’t quote me on that one though. No, the clouds aren’t super fluffly, they’re clouds. England doesn’t have clouds. What you see in the English version of sky is a concentrated form of depression that makes the sun less bright and causes everyone to whinge and complain.

Yes there are too many crows in Brisbane. Personally I think we should have crow whacking day, very much like snake whacking day in the Simpsons - preferably without the small annoying yellow girl. Same idea, same result. Yes, people around here sound very Australian. Prossibly because this is Australia. Wait, wait, yep - that’s probably it.

If by “not very much” you mean shorts and shirts, then yes we don’t wear much clothing. It could have something to do with Australia having a much more hospitable climate than your previous location - but that’s just a guess. Yes, the beach is nice. Notice it comes with sand, not rocks? It’s a novel idea but we think people will like it. And finally, yes the temperature is perfect. It’s a wonder why you left it in the first place!

Welcome back guys!
