A fascinating story, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will watch the progress.

This simply cannot be allowed to go on. Origin need to be accountable for the stress and time it is costing people. It thinks it's time for three things:
(1) Origin Energy unhappy customers web site. To compare much needed notes.
(2) Our 'own' energy retailer. A co-op.
(3) Slater & Gordon, for the class action.

This article should be sent to all the girls out there in year twelve, wish I had read it back then! Sadly schools in Brissie are not any better they STILL claim that hairdressing is the ONLY trade women can get into and engineering doesn't exist its just IT......groan....

Ah, yes, the archways! They changed this place around in the late '70s to give it a more open-plan living area. And then closed it in with arches :|

So one of them has already had the gyprock torn off, and the other one is going today. I just uploaded pics:

Yay!! How exciting. Husband laughed when he saw pics, identical to ours. My they achieved a lot, considering they were late! Looking forward to updates.

I agree. I used to love to go there to watch Indy films and get cheap popcorn. Alas, no longer! If only there were some other option than Hoyts ... :(

Thanks Sarah. It seems as though I am far from alone with Origin woes. I think the big message is that if you are dealing with Origin, don't stuff around, go straight to the ombudsman in your state. It's the only thing that makes them sit up and listen.

2010-12-02T22:29:08.166+11:00

Wow Lana I thought my experience with Origin was bad. Such incredibly poor customer service, They only replied to my (repeated) inquiries after I contacted the ombudsman- this was after they had sent me a letter threatening legal action. I'm glad your issue was finally resolved, but it's mind-boggling how crappy their service is!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's interesting, actually. Some of my daughter's favourite games on my Android are the dress-up ones. I guess it's a matter of showing them that technology can be used for all sorts of things, regardless of what you're interested in.

My first Java applet was an app where you could dress my bootylicious friend up in various outfits, similar to how I used to dress up my barbies (and dinosaurs) in outfits.
I saw at an early age that I could use programming to be creative, and thus I pursued it.

I've realized since that engineers are considered to be "problem-solvers", so I am probably less an

Can't 'writable media' refer to more than just a CD?

My wife also made this cake this past weekend for my 2 years olds birthday.

I half suspect my son picked it cos when my wife pulled the cake books out, I reacted to the penguin gibbering about linux. (cos needless to say i instantly recognized it as such)
So he started running around with the book pointing at the "Ping":
