NORTHWEB LIVE FEED = MID-EVENING
SOUTHWEB LIVE FEED = AFTER-NOON

UNLESS IT'S RAINING or SIMILAR.
(Note: this page is Updated Daily.)

Day One, A start is made, a peace sign is painted onto the grass and peace pipes are smoked at 4:20.

Day Two... The first of the Bamboo Poles arrive, as does thunder storms, web show consists of peace pipes inside of "Dear Little Tin Shed".

Day Three... More rain and intermittent power supply stops any LIVE transmission, the bamboo poles are laid into position and a vague outline of the shape can be glimpsed by those with good imagination.

Day four is another rainy and overcast day and makes out door construction impossible, which is perhaps fortunate as the first obstacle has arisen, where to find the $86.40 needed to buy a 50 metre roll of chicken wire.

Rough plans for the Bamboo Bong

DAY Five... No image is broadcast, due to rain, lack of gadgetbudget and other non paying cyber construction commitments.

Day Six... Still waiting on gadgetbudget. No image broadcast is possible due to continuing overcast weather and other cyber commitments.

Day Seven... The lack of Bamboo Bong gadgetbudget isn't the reason for the cancellation of this weeks LIVE smoking session, the chronic lack of gadgetbudget has lead to the situation that there are no peace herbs in the Mull Bowl for today's smoking session, nor are there enough hours left in this months web connection account to broadcast today's show.

Day Eight... Thunderstorms cancelled any attempt to even connect to the interenet on day 8, which was fortunate in the continuing lack of reality gadgetbudget and while little qwerty is protected from a power surge delivered by the 240 volt power lines, she is not protected against a lightning strike on the 17 kilometres of wet copper wire connecting me to the main trunk. Status of gagdetbudget unknown as uploading web pages is done before downloading mail and there is still thunder rumbling in the distance as I quickly zap these words up in the 'minute crumbs' of my ISP connexion.. waiting for wednesday thanx to the ganja fairy who visited.

About the lack of gadgetbudget in the now.

THE FIRST WORDS THAT WERE BEHIND THIS SCENE.

Sisyphus Contemplating Next

The image above is based on a character from an ancient legend, Sisyphus, who was condemned to roll a stone forever.. Kinda suits this project dunnit?

Over the next month I will be attempting to construct a Cyber Integration Chamber for the Aquarius Fair,  What? I hear you ask, has happened to the plans to build permanent steel 24 footer as an Exhibit in the Museum and as a focal point to the 1999 Mardi Grass? Nothing has happened to the plans, the plans are still in place and the concept of a fully functional 1:10 scale model is still a goer as far as the BBt-PPP is concerned, however, and as usual, problems have been encountered at the last minute, the Nimbin Museum occupies rented premises, thus the Landlords permission is required to construct a permanent item. The owner is thinking of either selling the Museum or converting it into a backpacker hostel or is just saying that as a prelude to raising the rent one more time. Either way whilst the Museum future is undecided an alternate alternative has been decided upon, to wit, the attempt at the on-line construction of a Bamboo, chicken wire and Hemp cloth Cyber Integration Chamber I say attempting to, because I have never worked with bamboo or chicken wire before.

The alternative alternative plan is quite simple, every time I do some construction work on the C.I.C I will turn on the web cam, I expect to have all manner of transmissions problems, basically due to the 17 kilometres of copper wire that connects me to the ISP, so just know that I will be doing all I can to upload the image, and anyway, you know the web words, keep cerfing by etc.
