I finally have internet - only took Primus three weeks to install and get working my internet and phone - and that was with an existing account and line!
Tonight I went to the opening of a Thomas Henry Huxley exhibit at the Macleay Museum, and Michael Ruse gave an excellent talk on Tom and his Sydney connection (his wife Nettie came from Sydney and THH himself spent a fair bit of time here and up north on the HMS Rattlesnake).

I think you aren't indicating timezone correctly or something?
Why Primus? They are participating in the filtering trial, or is that your intention?
