A friend of mine in Phoenix, Arizona asked me to send her some vegemite. I won't name her, for anonymity is important. Let's just call her ' Teh Mandeh '. So I did. When Teh Mandeh received it, she tasted it for the first time on webcam, so I could watch.

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

As I glossed over on my last post, I've been reinstalling my media center pc. So far I've: Formatted C Drive Installed Vista Installed the motherboard, audio, video, tv card, and bluetooth drivers. And that's enough for tonight. I'se tired and sleepy.

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

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

Note: This is post is completely non-geeky, entirely personal, has no references to coding, contains only a drive-by reference to computers and the net, and links to a blog that is completely and utterly not safe for work. If you only want to read about

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! :)

Its amazing the way language evolves. In the IT world especially, new words spring up all the time - often spawning a complete grammar to go along with it. For example, we create a new product - let's call it Spanky. Once people are familiar with Spanky,

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
