Well, imagine that – I've had to wash my hands at the end of a day to get the dirt off for the THIRD day in succession ! That's not something a computer nerd's accustomed to !! Anyway, today we spent the day setting up the video arcade some more – it's an amazing transformation…
Today marked my first day on site at the Jamboree. After awakening feeling a bit stuffed (not hungover mind you – it would take a bit to beat Christmas morning !!), I wandered over to Woodhouse to see where they'd gotten to since I was there last. It's amazing – you'd barely recognise the place…
I went and saw Return of the King the other night – gotta love that whole queueing up for an hour to see a movie you've already got a ticket for… Great film and all, but I'm not going to spend too long on that, because hey – no surprises in it; the plot's been…
Dear diary, it's been 5 days since my last confession… Well, the Christmas period was certainly as violent towards my liver as usual! Mostly good fun though. No carol singing this year, which was a bit unsettling after having made it a routine for the last 10 years. Although routine made a reappearance in the…
I remember reading a fair bit about how email is eating into the profit margins of Australia Post. It seems logical, although personally I think it'd have a roughly equal effect on phone calls as well… But yeah, anyway – the point is: If email's the nemesis of the Postal Service, then Christmas time and…
What a cornucopia of activity this weekend turned out to be !! We really do get a warm and mawkish feeling out of being reunited with people we haven't seen in a while, don't we ? OK, at least I guess I do. I really do wish there were more time available for catching up…
Yeah baby ! Got the archive section working. Biggest setback of the evening ? I’d have to say that it was poring through the Sybase ASE user’s manual looking for syntax on the datepart SQL function (which refused to work !), only to remember about 30 minutes later that I’m in fact working with the…
Oh boy, I've just been up to Burnside Village, and let me say, driving around in that carpark really brings out the best in people. I know it certainly got me nice & angry, which hopefully translates into a more entertaining read for you, my devoted reader. Far be it for me to make sweeping…
Dear me… I've just been informed of a hilarious concept – that of Scam Baiting. Almost anyone with an email address would know by now of the “Nigerian Scams”, where people are asked to supply their bank details to various folk in various countries, at the promise of humungous reward. Well this guy has mastered…
I couldn't let my brother's buttocks take “pole position” in this weblog (OK, there's possibly a better phrase I could have used there, but moving on…!). Several weeks ago now, a colleague of mine decided to go on a trip overseas to take in the sights, sounds and experiences of some other cultures. Naturally, all…
