I like to extend my sympathy to all the people who might have been affected by the Earquake and Tidel wave, that killed over 8K people.
 :( :( :(

Well sadly the death toll is now over 11,000, with Indonesia, Sri Lankia, India and Thailand all being affected!

video footage of the tragedy can be found from this link http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=4232

Lets hope Andy from Ultimarc is safe and well.  I'm pretty certain he is currently holidaying in Thailand.

they are saying this is the 3rd or 4th largest earth quake ever recorded ( from 1899 i belive ) , in this case it wasnt the earth quake that cauzed the damage , it's the water that got moved by the earthquake , either way it's still a mess , entire resort towns are just gone.

Yeah, they said the quake was powerful enough to cause the Earth's rotation to wobble...   :o

Still going up.

I can't even for a moment imagine the misery and pain those nations must be experiencing. It's the saddest thing I have ever known.

fredster is onto the right idea. you can donate by credit card online to red cross (or unicef etc). got a credit card? do it now! i mentioned it to my housemate and he said 'yeah, i MUST do that'. which means he'll never get around to it. but then, he can't even empty the friggin rubbish bin!
so guys, don't be like my housemate. do it RIGHT NOW! in fact i'll start another thread to prompt others on...
