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

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

Well, not that much really. Work is flat out, but fun, so I'm happy :) In the off hours, I've mostly been running my net connection downloading tv shows. Last month (12th December-11th Jan) my 40 gig download limit was used up 5 days before the end, so

No, this isn't a security port - at least, not security in the way that Rocky would talk about it :) Last night Jordie and I had to go a meeting at Issy's school. On the way home from picking her up (before we went to the meeting) she asked who'd be babysitting

It happened so long ago that I don't even remember why I did it, but I've just been informed that I've been listed on 25peeps.com . You know, now that I think about it, it's pretty dumb idea. Maybe it's fine for normal blogs, but for tech blogs? I don't

My sister sent me a link to this site last week. It's a riddle site. They're really hard. I love em. I'm currently on level 56, which means I've almost finished all the ones that are there so far. Now I can't sleep. Gah! Die Deb, die! :)

As I get around to taking a lot of different pictures of myself for the Gaptcha control, I've decided to also occasionally include photos of other members of my family. Now, while I can recognise and identify members of my family, I'm certainly not expecting

I had an awful night's sleep last night, followed up with a crappy morning. I'm not sure what caused it, but I hope it doesn't happen again :) This morning was crappy because I discovered as I was getting dressed that I left my belt in Canberra. I spent

Over the weekend (and a little before it) a few things have annoyed me. I thought I'd list them out, simply because I've got nothing else to do while sitting on the train traveling from the airport to my folks place. They're nothing big, but it passes

I'm about to head off to the airport to take a flight to Melbourne. The afternoon will be spent sitting in Dad's office with my laptop, happily coding away until it's time to follow him home after work. The only pain is going to be the lack of internet

I made a discovery today. It's probably not big news, and everyone but me probably knew it already, but it was news to me. Athena, Canberra's fantastic user group leader, has a blog . Anyway, in the course of browsing around her stuff, I stumbled across

The Elmo TMX is the next generation of the Tickle Me Elmo. As a father of young children, I've seen all the different Elmos come and go, and they've all been fun enough for the kids but annoying for the adults :) The details of this new one have been

Adjusting to working from home is a strange experience. In the last couple of weeks I've been getting used to it, although it still freaks me out that when I finish for the day I only have to walk to the next room to sit down on the couch and watch

I've just got home from spending the night at a sleep clinic. I have to say, I'm a bit tired now - sort of. For a while now (read: pretty much since we met almost 6 years ago) my wife has complaining that I snore too loud and that I stop breathing

Things have been quiet here, I know. There's been a lot going on, however, and people who have been watching carefully will see that I've been plenty busy over at the TechTalk Blog . On top of that, we've had germs running rampant in our house. The baby
