Official date
Chell and I have officially set a date for our wedding which is Saturday May 23, 2009, which is 334 days away. We decided on that date since it will be our two year anniversary.
We are going to try save up some money and pay for Mum & Dad to fly up for the weekend, hopefully they will be able to make it. Now all we need to do is look at all the possible locations for the wedding, design the inites and write up the guest list.
I can’t wait until next year to be wed to my lovely fiancée (I love you Chell), I always get so excited when we talk about it, it’s amazing.

Firefox 3.0 RC3 Released
The Mozilla Foundation have recently released Firefox 3.0 RC3, which is one step closer to the final release. You can check out the release notes for Firefox 3.0 RC3, or go straight to the download page. Now remember that these builds are for testing purposes only, so enjoy.
Firefox 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 34 months. Building on the previous release, Gecko 1.9 has more than 15,000 updates including some major re-architecting to provide improved performance, stability, rendering correctness, and code simplification and sustainability. Firefox 3 has been built on top of this new platform resulting in a more secure, easier to use, more personal product with a lot more under the hood to offer website and Firefox add-on developers.

Sickness, Movies, Rest
I started getting sick on Sunday, which was quite bad. I couldn’t sleep properly, coughing all the time, nausea e.t.c. It has worked in my favour though, as I am still sick, I have pretty much quit smoking which is good.
I have Tue/Wed off work, so Chell and I decided to hire some movies and be lazy / let me rest for the two days which has been great.
I was feeling a bit better yesterday, so Chell and I decided to get some prawns for dinner, and we got some garlic and made garlic prawns for dinner, they were delicious.
We dropped the magna off at the mechanic’s this morning to get the brakes done on it, so hopefully they will be all fixed. We then bought some doritos for snacks to night for when we watch the state of origin, c’mon maroons!
That’s all for now, I hope I feel better by tomorrow, this is four days now I’ve felt like crap!
Update: I awoke this morning, feeling a lot better, which is great. My throat is still a little sore. The might maroon’s dominated the field last night, winning state of origin II, the end result – QLD: 30, NSW: 0. Now all we have to do is win the 3rd and final game in 3 weeks, I know we can do it!
