Personal Announcements

Sorry folks, my previous web host stopped providing web hosting last Friday, so last week I had a bit of trouble getting the sites across to another host.  It’s taken a large portion of my personal time, trying to organise everything – hence few blog posts. The good news is […]

So we’re trying a new procedure to combat my restless leg syndrome (RLS).  It has been encouraging thus far, but unfortunately my usual dose (300mg of Madopar) isn’t working for some reason and I’m up, again, wondering if I’m stuck with this condition.. What better a time than to look […]

Some may be wondering where have my blog posts been?  I’ve just been a little ultra-busy of late, but plan to return to form shortly.  There has been much work and interesting things happening and I’ll work to write up what I can. Good luck to Paul Stovell tonight, he […]

Well today we officially move into our new home.  We’re still renting so that’s a bummer although looking at the newspaper headlines today, I’d say we’re lucky. It’s not been a cheap move, but at least the end is in sight.  It’s been making my work very hard to accomplish […]

Goodbye to all our friends and family in Sydney.  Tomorrow morning we are heading north to the great state of Queensland. We’ve had some fond memories and fun times in the first state (New South Wales) and leave behind seven years of life and living.   To those who we […]

Hi all.  Well, tomorrow I am having the stitches in my eye adjusted to correct the vision in my right eye.  This will be hopefully the last adjustment, and it will be all downhill from there.  I still have light sensitivity issues and it’s still hard to keep the eye open, […]

Hi.  I’m back from the eye surgeon’s hand.  The operation was successful, although it is taking a toll on my body. Generally, I’m sleeping most of the days, between 16 – 18 hours.  My right eye is very uncomfortable (although not painful).   Luckily this time around I am not […]

Hi all.  So here’s a quick update.   Tomorrow I’m heading back to Brisbane to scout out some more properties to rent. However, I’m back in Sydney on Thursday because of a phone call I received this afternoon.   In a nutshell, on Thursday at 4pm I’m undergoing a corneal […]

To everyone "out there" (on the world wide web), please have a safe and prosperous new year.  To my special group of regular readers, hope additionally that you win the lotto and/or get three wishes (genie-style) in 2008.   More info.. Since we’re moving to Queensland ("the land so beautiful, […]

Hi Readers,   This week I am on assignment in Melbourne helping out the team here with some requirement and architecture analysis. Internet access was down for a time, so I was unable to post any updates.  This has now changed.   I was going to do a series this week in […]

  It is with much sadness and a heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of my mother’s father (my grandfather), aged 85. He passed away this morning up in Newcastle, NSW.  He leaves behind his wife (my grandmother), a son and daughter (my mother) and three grandchildren.   He […]

Hi Everyone,   I’m going to be out of the office for the next few days, potentially through the weekend, so check back soon for more updates..   Cheers R

Hi Everyone,   Big shout out to Paul Stovell and Corneliu Tusnea who were also in attendance today at the Australian Architecture Forum in Darling Harbour (Star City casino, actually).  Greetings also to Nigel Watson and Chuck Sterling from Microsoft who (together with a number of other fine folk) ran a really great […]
