Tree Ports

Posted on Monday, 15th November 2004 at 1:26am

My brother and I were watching Russell Coightâ€™s celebrity challenge. Chrissie (the model) was sitting with a Powerbook in her lap, tapping away while explaining her website to one of her fellow campersâ€¦

Me: I didn’t know they have WIFI in the outback.
My Brother: Yeah, but not WIFI, thereâ€™s ports in all the trees.
Me: So the cables go through the roots?
My Brother: Pretty much.

Sorry to write off topic, but it seems that there’s a big bug display with this post.
I’m using Firefox V1 PR.

Yeah, I noticed the second I posted it. I left out a ” in the powerbook link and it went nuts. All good now.

Well I didn’t see (and never seen) the show so I don’t know if she was actually surfing the Internet. Maybe she has Apache installed in her Powerbook and ran the website via localhost? Just a guess.

Nah, she was meant to be posting in her online ‘diary’, so that’s why I made the WIFI joke.

Is that the poser dude that pulls a “Crocodile Dundee” on his own TV show but was actually an underwear model from the big city?

Anyway, the picture of him on top of a semi-submerged 4×4 at his site’s gallery has sound attached to it (just click the picture). I listened to it like 6 times, and still can’t make out a single word.

Rod, yeah I’m pretty sure aussies only get it.

Sergio, no, it’s the guy from ‘The Panel’ and ‘Kath and Kim’, he did another show called a while back called ‘All Aussie Adventures’. His shows are about a guy named Russell Coight who thinks he’s a bushman, but he’s the kind of guy that will burn down the camp. Pretty much a piss take. And he’s saying ‘get behind’, there’s a few more sound bites on the challenge page.
