The discovery of Brufax. The wall I planted a coin in as a kid. 9:38AM
I have discovered BRUFAX! After years of searching, there one day, it appears before my eyes and now again we are united. It is good for you too. Very good.
Saw xXx last night and it was good. Not as cheesy as I had expected. I recommend it to everyone. I liked.
Yesterday I went round to install a modem on a friends computer to help them get hooked up to the internet. Unfortunetly I didn't realise they only had a 386, 25Mhz, 40MB hard disk with 8MB of RAM. I thought that species was extinct. Maybe I have found the last one but whatever, it is running Win 3.11, I don't even think theres an internet explorer for this. It is ancient. I don't think theres any hope for reaching the internet through it.
Yesterday I took a trip down memory lane. When my parents came back from Hong Kong (I lived there for three and a half years) they dropped us kids off with my Nana & Poppa while they toured the world for 6 months. I went to school in Roseneath during this time, with I might add, a posh English accent which I'm sure I must have been teased about but I don't remember. Anyway walking to school everyday I remember very clearly a stone wall, half covered in vines etc and one day leaving a 2c piece hidden in it somewhere. Now back then 2c was worth about 20c to me now. It was a big thing to leave it there and I don't recall why I did, maybe just the magic of having a secret, knowing that the coin was there and only I knew about it. Anyway going past that location yesterday I checked up on that wall. I searched it but couldn't find that 2c piece. It has probably been found since but I had to look anyway. To continue on old habits I planted a 5c piece in the wall. Along the top of the wall is another wall with posts. Now this 5c piece is a 1996 vintage, planted 3 posts back from the right hand side and about half way up the wall. Its there in plain sight, laying on its side and slipped into a crack. Maybe ten years from now I will return to try and find it again. At least this time I made a mental note of where exactly it was..
