An email I got from Westnet last night after asking what’s going on

Hi James,
The order seems to be stalled in the wholesalers system. I have
forwarded this email to our provisioning department to follow this up
for you. They will contact you as soon as they have an answer for you.
Thank you for advising us of the delay and we apologise for any
inconvenience.

Regards,
Ashley

Here’s a comparision of my line stats between the two filters I’ve tried…

Dear Telstra and Westnet,

Please get my ADSL working soon, I’ve been waiting since the 17th.

Thanks,
yale.

Hooray, this is officially the lowest my personal loan’s been since it started. It’s down to seven grand. Only $7000! It goes quicker as it gets lower too, since there’s less interest to pay, and more of the money that goes into the account actually pays off the principal. *dances*

Remembering the rest of my debt sucks though

So I finally had enough of a day off to work on the gemini again, and I got the intake manifold to fit. I cut off the heater-hose pipe that I don’t need any more, and this stupid little threaded nodule thingy that I also don’t need, so now it doesn’t foul on the brake lines. I also spent about an hour with a file taking small amounts off the thermostat housing so it doesn’t foul on the rocker cover anymore. End result, the intake manifold fits…

Now, if only I could find some o-rings that’d suit this rail. Maybe I’ll just have to import the bits and make my own… yay for more money and time.
