USB Charger Not So Dodgy After All

I just tried plugging the USB phone charger that I bought off of eBay a little while ago into the powered USB Hub on my monitor at work, and it charges successfully!
Woohoo!
So, it seems that standard USB ports don't offer enough amperage. Strangely though, my wall charger is 800mA (USB is 500mA), but I have a 1000mA wall adaptor (that provides a USB port), and when I plugged in the USB charger, it didn't charge my phone. Mysterious.
But I'm happy, because now I have a charger at work without having to rummage under my desk to plug it in. Happy days.
But of course now that I've bought a mobile charger (big-ass battery), so it's not so urgent now. anyway.
I ramble.

Funny description. Wish I had the money. And lived in the States. Well, I suppose I don't want it that bad.

Bogus chargers

Ah man!
The chargers that I ordered off of ebay arrived last week; one car charger, and one USB charger.
I planned on creating a journey of my way home from Wollombi on Sunday night, but the car charger didn't work (and my battery wouldn't last the journey).
Just now, at work, I noticed that my battery was about to die, so I grabbed my handy-dandy USB charger and plugged it in. A "not-charging" warning showed.
You motherfucker.
Bastard ripped me off.
I have emailed him telling him that they don't work (but doubt I will hear from him - he's no longer a registered user), and will have to wait a few days, then contact PayPal to see if I can get a refund.
Bastard wanker.
And they were handy items, too.
Aside from that, the weekend was awesome. Details soon (when I have some time to type them up).

Things aint so bad

Well, Alex will be coming up for my shindig, and bringing with him some supplies, so that's nice.
Also turns out the phone chargers that I ordered off of Ebay a couple of weeks ago have now arrived (I thought that maybe they wouldn't because the guy I bought them off is "no longer a registered user"). So bless him/her for actually sending them.
Despite not being able to take Friday off, it looks to be a nice, cruisy weekend.
