Five Things To Do This (Long) Weekend

It’s a public holiday come Monday across much of the country, so make your weekend productive and fun by testing out these ideas from the past week on Lifehacker:
- Book yourself a cheap hotel room for Christmas before they all disappear
- Personalise your Vista machine by learning how to customise Windows visual styles
- Install Skype 4.0 and catch up with a few online friends
- Make yourself an iPod stand from a paper clip
- Gather up the USB sticks lying around the office and increase their capacity and performance by ditching the U3 software

Ummm, what public holiday? I can’t think of anything on October 6th, but maybe I’m just being dense?
same here – nothing in qld at least. is iths maybe from a US story? or is it that states having dst will technically have a slightly longer weekend?

Labor day in NSW, probably other states too, but not VIC
Since when does “much of the country” equal NSW and SA? The other 5 states and territories are at work today.
