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 […]

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 […]
