The "Get Well Soon ShadyJames" Appeal !

For those unaware, long time LanSmash'er ShadyJames aka James de Vries was stabbed with a 10cm knife last week as he was waiting at the Fortitude Valley train station to go home.
ShadyJames receives a new Rig!
Thanks to all for your support for the ShadyJames appeal!
With over $820 of smasher support we managed to build him a much needed new gaming rig. Last night Mastercyl, SlapperJoe and myself went over to the de Vries household to deliver the new rig.
Shady was in good spirits! He now has a long road of recovery ahead to rebuild his Six-pack-of doom.
In other news the scares left from the surgery are big enough to make any girl appreciate them! :P

LS Site broken
Hey all,
just letting you guys know something is broken on the LS site and we're not quite sure what it wrong.
Problem is no one here actually knows how this site works and therefore we're having a bit of a hard time fixing it.
I'm sure if we kick the server a few more times it will all come good.
In the meantime, enjoy!
GetUp! wins case for online voter registration
Huzzah, GetUp! has won their court case against the AEC!

It is the group's second court win in as many weeks.
Last week the High Court ruled Howard government changes that closed the electoral rolls on the day writs were issued were unconstitutional.
GetUp! national director Simon Sheikh says today's decision is historic.
"With 1.4 million Australians not on the electoral roll earlier this year, we need to do every single thing we can to get bureaucracy and red tape out of the way," he said.
