July Notices

We’re reviving the notices section on RiotACT.

Notices will be consolidated through the month and bumped back onto the front page every Saturday. Just use the contact form, or email john@the-riotact.com. Things for sale, events, notifications, warnings, personals, knock yourselves out.

And so here they are:

31 July

Adam says:

My name is Adam Verwey and I’m running as an independent candidate for
Ginninderra in the ACT election. I know RiotACT takes a keen interest in these
sort of things so I thought I’d get in touch.
I’ve just got a website up and running –
www.adam08.com – but it’s new and I still need to get a fair bit of content
up there. There’s also an invite on there for a ‘campaign launch’ I’m having
this weekend – a pancake breakfast at Lake Ginninderra.
I’ve got specific interests in affordable housing, public transport, the
environment, getting rid of pokies, creating a social Canberra community.
I’m planning to put together more specific policies on these in the coming
weeks (in the time that I can spare outside my day job working for an
ethical investment company).
I hope this is of some interest.
By the way, I really enjoy the RiotACT website. I’ve been reading it for a few
years but have never got around to making posts or becoming a member.
Kind regards, Adam

Bunch of free IT Gear.

I have a stack of free IT Gear, with the caveats:
you must come pick it up ; you must take _ALL_ of it ; it must be gone by the 13th of August (and i’m away next week)

It includes: sun ultra1e, sun ss10, tevion wireless survellance cams, 2 ~2gb IDE drives, 2 ~6GB laptop drives, box of ram for Sun and P2/3 series x86, 3 wireless network cards (2 belkin 11mb, 1 dlink 54mb) a sun type4 keyboard, compaq ps2 keyboard, a set of unpowered speakers. bundle of random cables for power, interfaces, network, sun611 diskpack with a HP scsi cdwriter.

I simply can’t be bothered trying to sell it piece by piece.. and i’d feel bad if i threw it all out.

Mods can provide my email address [ED – In future it really is not unreasonably to ask you to supply whatever contact details you’re comfortable with]. I’m located in the outer inner north west suburbs. (Ok ok, Belconnen.)

I am feeling the restoration project itch come on again and I need a car to cure me.

I am looking for your broken, weary and unwanted car. I want something old (ie 50s, 60s, 70s, early 80s) and usable. I am not interested if it has a chassis and body made of rust. I am a sucker for Minis, Geminis, Escorts, Datsuns, Austins, VWs and most other old stuff.

I am also looking to spend very little (preferably nothing) on the car so I can put more money into the restoration. I promise that I will take you for a ride when it is done, and if you are keen to join in you can come and give me a hand anytime.

If you can help me send me an email at skaboy12@gmail.com and I will get back to you within hours, maybe even minutes.

Im looking for interested musicians and groups who want to make recordings.

Ive got a wide slection of quality mics and equipment as well as recording experience.

All types of music will be considered APART FROM HEAVEY METAL. No I dont hate metal its just I cant get into it like I used to and I dont want to be involved in projects that cause me pain.

Get in touch if you are interested- what have you got to lose? Maybe we could have some fun and record some beautiful music.

transaustralia asked:

I am looking to come to Canberra, start over and return to work. I have recent and older courses in business and administration and would seek work as administrator or personal assistant. I am >30 and previously worked in my early 20s in a series of short-term elementary temporary type jobs. I think I am not fussy, but its important to me here that I can get a fair go if I’m seeking work, many of the places when I went to Syd rejected me because I was not anatomically correct. [more in my contribution to papadoc needing job thread].
