October 10, 2002 Melbourne, Australia

I only had two goals for today: to move my flight to Bali back two weeks, giving me five weeks for the East Coast (done), and to pick up my photo CD and ftp some pics to the website. So I picked up the CD, which they charged me $10US for, then walked to Queen Victoria Market for some cheap lunch. While I was wandering around, some students asked if they could ask me some questions for a documentary. So they asked me what I thought a graphic designer does, then asked if I had heard of three people, presumably Australian graphic designers, which I hadn't. So watch out for an Australian documentary on graphic designers, I may be in it.
After the long black, I figured I should play it safe, so I had a cappuccino at a cafe. Then I wandered across the river to check out the Crown Entertainment Complex, the largest casino in the Southern Hemisphere. It was indeed large, at about two blocks long, and I couldn't find the entrance where I had checked my bag.
Then it was time to look at my pictures. They looked terrible, all grainy and dark. I checked the file sizes, and they were much smaller than they should have been, so they must have set the compression ratios too high for some reason. Luckily I got to the store before it closed, and they gave me my money back.
Bali, eh? After today's events, you might have to change plans. Hope that doesn't screw you up to much....
