Woo hoo! My new digital camera has arrived at last. It's a Ricoh Caplio G4, and it's dead sexy. One of the cool things about it is it has a Macro zoom function, so I can take photos like this: Just what the world's crying out for, eh ? I guess it'll get its first…

I don't mind living near a main road so much, and the variety of prangs we have at the intersection out the front makes life a little interesting (as do some of the fights between little Homee-G's in the McDonalds' carpark), but ever so often one gets sick of it… Last night we heard the…

Before I went the whole nine nerd yards and bought my own domain name, I was using a regular ISP email account… one which I've still got active, as it was on my business card when I went to the US back in 1996, and soforth. Lately I've been wondering just how much actual email…

Oh what a lovely time I had in Horsham !! :) For lack of a better place to begin, I'll start at the start ! We drove over Friday night to Mt Arapiles (for those who don't know what that is – think “The Surfer's Paradise of Rockclimbing”), and stayed in the Arapiles Hilton –…

I tell ya what, I love a good exploding whale story as much as the next guy, but this is truly something else ! Click Here to read about a dead whale that exploded whilst being transported through Tainan, Taiwan on the back of a truck. But I warn you, don't do it before a…

La la la, it's another weekday. OK, first thing is I'm bloody sick of this computer virus that's going around at the moment ! It's called MyDoom. It's not particularly nasty in terms of what it does to your PC, but it is a pain in the arse…! Now I've also made a few changes…

So last night I went to a mate's 21st. Prety cool – he's a jazz muso, so they had some instruments out the back and there was a bit of jammin going on. It was pretty damn good – some of these guys are top class muso's, and they were making a hell of a…

Some of the more astute of you will have noticed some Save Ferris links on my site now. Well here's the explanation. Since I was about 13, I've always had a Save Ferris t-shirt. I think the first one I bought off a guy at a bowling alley. Presently I'm on my fourth one and…

OK, I wasn't going to post twice today, but I just saw the most unbelieveable thing EVER on an infomercial… The Royalet ! This thing is a space age toilet, which truly has to be seen to be believed. The feature list for the flagship model includes: Two nozzle system – His and Hers Adjustable…

Well, that's my first beer-related injury in a while !! It's not as bad as the time DB fell face-first onto the bitumen in the carpark at the Sussex or anything, but this isn't far behind, because this happened to *me*, which of course makes it a lot more serious. I managed to jam my…
