So: "World War Z" - a book about how the world got itself into a zombie war - has an absolutely raved about audiobook edition. It's grey, a bit miserable, and sitting upstairs drinking coffee and listening to an audio book sounds just grand to me.

I head off to Audible.com, hand over my US$21, and get told that "we are sorry but your geographic location prevents us from selling you World War Z". What the hell? As a consequence I've spent the last two hours on two new least favourite activities:

* Learning about port forwarding and UPnP with Azureus. I never did get it sussed fully but I don't care since it appears to be downloading now.

* Scouring the web for someone to sell me a copy of this thing so I can find a faster way of doing it.

Never mind. The torrent says it's going to take another three hours. I guess I'm going to have to work instead.

Dammit, digital media industry, learn to take my money OK!!!!
