As anyone who knows me knows, I've got two gorgeous children. It's time now to show you the new additions to my family. They're nowhere near as cute, but they're family, so you have to love them. Last night I was at the doctors checking up on a problem...

I find it fascinating just how much is available for keeping in touch with people. But what really made me laugh was how I talk to a friend of mine in the states. We talk a lot, and finding the easiest way to communicate quickly has been a slowly evolving...

You know, it's been a while since i posted anything. Had you noticed? :P I've actually been constantly (ish) thinking about writing posts. But the thing is, i've been working on a big article to put up here. It's really long, it needs a lot of polish...

You may recall a post of mine recently about a peice of graffiti where one of the people had two heads. Late last week I was wondering back from a lunch date (not that sort of date) and found (quite by accident) another one of them. That's two. The second...

XKCD is a comic that I really like. Just read it, it's great. Anyway, this one in particular stands out to me as oh so true. (Note: yes, wetriffs.com does exist now :) In the last 12 hours, it's been proved to me twice. I found this about 10 minutes ago...

Today's been pretty wierd. I share an office with one other person, so we're chatting to each other all the time. Often it's work related chatter. And I'm sure that today is no exception. The thing is that besides all that, I was thinking over some of...

I've just started reinstalling my media center pc (I think that's the cause of my remote control issues). While it's doing it's thing, I thought I'd make a quick note of a problem I remember having (and am about to have again) getting the bluetooth dongle...

I don't mean explain the whole concept of graffiti. I know what it is. Hell, I'm sure I've even done some myself - on my desk at school if no where else (and I'm pretty sure it's nowhere else, now I think about it). Some is stupid, some is rude, some...

Late last year (ish) myself and Kari, a friend of mine, were killing time, and we ended up maing up a story. It's certainly not serious or anything like that (quite the opposite even), but it was fun. It all happened in an IM window, and I believe it...

So in the move to the new ISP the timezone that CrankyGoblin is running in has changed - from GMT-7 to GMT+10. 17 hours doesn't make that much difference, does it? :) So anyway, I forgot to update it. I wrote a post last night, and it still hasn't appeared....

I know. Surely I don't need help with CS, do I? Oh the shock, the horror, the humanity! Well, I'm sorry, but yes. Yes I do. Forgiveness can be earned, but screw that - I just need an answer to my question. I've been slow in the blogging world for a while...
