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

For a while now i've been using an iMate JAMin as my phone/pda. It was pretty good, cept for the lack of buttons. It was all touchscreen. I upgraded a few weeks ago. I wanted something that was pretty much the same, but i wanted to be able to type, not

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

Public Sub Start() Dim t As New TimeSpan(SomeLargeNumber(), 0, 0, 0) MsgBox( "I'm trying to start blogging again" ) Thread.Sleep(t) Start() End Sub Yes, I know, I've said it many times now. One of these days it's going to stick though. Honest! So how

A friend of mine, Tony, from my old job at Telstra, did up a comic last week. I think he was trying to make some sort of point at work :) So anyway, I promised to blog it when I had the chance. And here it is. Click to see it full size. I love it - looking

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

Things have been flaky on CrankyGoblin for a while. Some of it has been my fault (dodgy code uploaded to the server :) but a lot had also been flakiness on the part of my provider. I really like having my own web server. I can upload whatever I want (within

I'm a little behind the 8 ball with this (hah! 8, get it? You will...) but a couple of weeks ago Project 8 (see?) came out! I picked it up on the weekend. I got some late nights coming up soon, me think :)

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

A lot of people have been talking over the weekend about how they've upgraded to Vista and either had it work without a hitch, or with some very big hitches indeed. My story is mostly boring - a couple of little hitches, but nothing too major. Things

So Office 2007 is out. This is good. This is wonderful. This is scary. To install the RTM version of Office 2007, you must uninstall all the beta versions of it first. Not a problem. Uninstall. But what's going to happen to my email? Oh dear. Update 10
