What's Doing

To cut a long and boring technical story short, I get hold of some choice quotations every day. Today a couple of them caught my eye and I thought I would share them with you;
Rita Rudner:”I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest [...]

From Sheila Simmons, via Brent Simmons via Scripting News (blimey I’ll follow links anywhere);
I am 17% Grunge.

I will get out of your sight. I’m pathetic! With my clean clothes, and nice smell. I think I took the wrong test, thank god, huh?
Take the Grunge Test at Fuali.com!

I do have something to say today. It is just not very interesting to anyone else. My ambition for the next week is to get to a position higher than 650 on the Vulture Central group at SETI@home. Still, you’ve got to have goals haven’t you.
Oh, for those still reading, my name on the [...]

I’m saying nothing today. On a technical note I have changed the scope of the archive pages from weekly to monthly.
That will probably be enough excitement for one day.

All in all a very busy weekend. I don’t know if that justifies the fact that I waited until Tuesday to post here but it is the only excuse I have.
The panto went very well on Friday night, even though the lighting supplied by your truly was very basic. I followed the Mr Miyagi [...]

Phrase of the day, from Francis Dunnery, also spotted in Apocalypse Now, but originally from Abraham Lincoln;
“better angels of our nature”
Don’t know why, I just like it.

Now I’ve gone and done it. I am going to be doing the lighting for the Church panto this weekend. Which is strange because I don’t go to church. Maybe that should be “Church and Richard’s mates panto”.
Regardless, I’ve been stitched up. Luckily there are only three performances and I hope the lighting requirements are [...]

I just wrote a very long post and it got sucked into the internet black hole. Here is a summary;
I don’t control the remote control in our house now that Bobo is back from her travels. Occassionally she makes me watch rubbish. Two particularly awful examples this week were;
The Michael Jackson 30th anniversary concert. Channel [...]

Two things today. First is that Harry Potter frenzy is reaching fever pitch in our house at the moment. Bobo and the smelly backpacker can’t wait to see the movie as they loved the book so much. My protestation that the film of any book never lives up to expectations is roundly pooh-poohed, but I [...]

Well, I’ve gone and done it now. Yesterday, at 5pm local time I became an Australian.
Its quite a formal process you know. I received a letter from the Department of Immigration in July saying I had been accepted, but you don’t become an actual Aussie until you take the oath of citizenship. This is done [...]
