Today went the long way down to the Gong, thru Macarthur big mall. Using the new little GPS i did something i'd never attempt, & it was transformed into a doddle. The reason to go there was to hit the hobbyco down there & buy some warplane models. I decided to make a maquette of a warplane or 2 for upcoming project proposal & the simplest possible way to do that would be to get hold of a 3d representation of said planes & whip something up by copying. Loads easier than printing up a collection of photos off the net & imagining it in 3d, eh. The most awesome thing is its all research & thus buying a bunch of model kits is bloody well tax deductible. Sure its work & all... but - awesome!
GPS was spectacularly successful & i somehow ended up with about 2 hrs spare in there which i had to waste. But next time i won't feel it necessary to leave quite so early, if i can trust it to actually get me there.
Its been showing me a whole bunch of streets locally which are actually named totally different to what i always thought. First i thought this thing is just wrong but no each time i dscover it know better than me. And i also found out my car speedo reads about 10KM under @ 80KMH. No wonder everybody always passing me. Hmph.
