718565 2008-11-08 03:02:00 Voted just after 9.00am. As we walked into the polling booth, at one of the local schools, there were 2 little kids aged about 7 sitting on the school fence. Had a smile when the boy called out to us..."vote National". I hope no pc miseryguts reported him. There were several queues, and Murphy's law was working well. We joined one where the polling clerk was looking stressed (wondering if he lasts the day), he seemed to be having a problem with the couple at the head of the queue. He then gave an incorrect voting form to the next person and asked the person next in line to chase after her and call her back. At that point I changed queues. Life is never dull! Marnie (4574)

718568 2008-11-08 03:14:00 I voted early and often. :-)

I could not put two ticks in for the one party as the one I wanted in my electorate does not have a candidate running.

718572 2008-11-08 05:39:00 Just vote yes ;) I probably should have put one in.

Have fun cabling the house. Cat6 to each room I hope? :D

Done & Done :banana

Nah CAT5e everywhere plus some RG6 and speaker cable.
CAT6 is too much of a pain as the tolerances are less for bends in the cable, terminating etc. One little mistake and it drops to CAT5e specs anyway.
CAT5e handles gigabit speeds no problems.
