Just picked up a Samsung galaxy tab 2.0.

Makes the forum look different to the ipad that’s for sure. Getting the shits tho with the keyboard changing what i type..

Just disable auto correction if its really annoying you. Even better install a third party keyboard such as Swype or swiftkey

Yeah got the shits with swype too. I like the iPads auto correct so the Tab is going to be used for mainly videos and bits and iPad for email and BW..

+1 although I use a range of keyboards.

The new swype on my nexus 10
Swiftkey on my GS2 (love that once swiftkey has learnt enough you can nearly type a whole message by pressing the spacebar)
and the stock kb with swype enabled on my note 2 (love the row of numbers and s-pen integration)

 

Just bought my new board, arbor westmark. Trade off was new boots for the Missus, some new vans with the boa? System. She is stoked, but I think I won twice, no more doing up her boot laces haha

And I am there patting your head saying “there, there-  it will all be worth it knowing you have something you can easily fall back on when seasonal employment becomes undesirable!” (you don’t want to be going back to finish you apprenticeship in your 30’s for example!)

Okay, basically if you know a TAFE teacher/or administrator well enough that they will sign off on the paper work that says you are a full time student - you can get a J1 visa.

A J1 visa lets you work in America and they don’t mind if you don’t start til January/mid January.

I just figured Dylan having gone to Tafe for a few years may have built enough relationships at that tafe to wing it…

Stuff that, sooner I can have nothing todo with tafe or being a student the better, I’ll either go over to Canada during their summer, travel and work or do a season in aus or nz
