Well, the weekend’s over and now it’s Monday. The weekend Wobblies looked every bit as shaky as we’ve come to expect in the first half until the second half when Gregan came on and the team was transformed, once again, into soem kind of cohesive force. The team […]
Hi. Well, I’ve been thinking about sitting through another Akira Kurasawa epic sometime soon. I have a number of options, but can’t decide which one to choose. Maybe you can help. I’ve got four options (four unviewed films): 1. Throne of Blood – Japanese adaptation of Macbeth (filmed […]
According to this post there be no PDC this year. This means that TechEd will undoubtedly be huge this year. Get your tickets now. While you’re at it maybe it’s time to learn about: Codename ‘Orcas’ == next version of Visual Studio SQL Server (Katmai) == next version of […]
Well, I’m pretty depressed with the state of Australia right now. Pretty damn ticked off, to be precise. So sick and tired I reckon I should set up my own policital party. The Liberals can’t be trusted. The Labor party are too incompetent (at any level) to be in […]
Hi ‘Yall Well, nothing new really, but I’m moving back onto a very heavy project so my updates will, unceremoniously, become somewhat less often. Shame, but I just won’t have the time to act as ostentatiously as I would like.. Anyhow, in the meantime watch this space – […]
Well, visitation to the site has gone down, to basically none [none = me]. I’ve often wondered if there was much point to maintaining a blog that no one reads. So.. Unless someone puts something in the address book, or leaves a comment – or visits the goddamn site, […]
Well, it’s official – the Brumbies are out of the Super 14 semis with the Reds giving it all up to the Bulls in South Africa. What a horrible season for both QLD and NSW rugby.. Although there was some good news in that Lote Tuquri managed to sneak in […]
Hi Everyone, Last week the blog here at live.com went over the 3,000 visits count. Now a lot of these vists were regulars (you know who you are), and quite a few were recorded by me entering content or checking the stats, but a good deal of the hits […]
This year, 100 years ago… Here is an amusing link to an article which references another article which was originally penned over 100 years ago.. Thanks to MattL for the heads up. A very amusing tale indeed. On the news this morning, I heard that apparently several Sydney […]
Hotmail: celebrating circa 12 years of account ownership.. See attached image – looks like I’ve had a hotmail account since January 1995. In reality it is closer to September or so, but a nice touch in live mail is to show the length of time the account’s been active […]

What an interesting year. The public are generally "into" Labor leader Kevin Rudd because Labor are painting such a lovely picture of him. Will he be the next PM? Some thoiughts: – With blog entries like this one, he shows a lack of media management. The risk in […]
So, back from overseas, what to do? As expected not much has changed here @ home. Thinking of technical articles, I think I might do an entry soon but I can’t settle on a topic. I’m open to ideas. this weekend the NSW Waratahs debase themselves in front […]
