For those who bypass the front page and come straight to this blog (wise move, I don’t change the front page often) I will repeat here the latest notice. New for March 2002. A picture of the family reeve has been added to the Miscellaneous photos page. Ben was mentioning that there were far too …

Good Friday
It is Good Friday so I’m at home. Bobo is out having coffee with a friend and I’m taking the opportunity to just "muck about" on the internet with my two machines at home. I know, how bourgeois. It has been commented that our dining room table more resembles the bridge of the Starship Enteprise …
Misunderstanding
There is a tannoy system in use at the building where I am currently working. Why? Because there is. Anyway, there was an announcement this morning which I could have sworn was; "The Rabbit Prototyping demonstration is commencing in training room 1a" The rush for the doors was quite imposing, almost a stampede. Well, actually …
Travel Arrangements
Another wedding item can be ticked off on my to do list. I’ve booked our flights to the mother country, and whilst I was at it I hired a car to travel around in. All very painless and easy, thanks to the lovely people at Flight Centre. For those who care, we are leaving Sydney …
Award Rubbish
Everyone is talking about the Oscars, even Ciaran. I’d just like to say that I watched the show for about thirty seconds last night (we get a delayed telecast here – thanks Channel 9) and then Bobo had to change the channel just to stem the stream of foul languague coming out of my mouth. …
An interesting day

If I was a morbid person this could prompt me to deep contemplation of my own mortality. Luckily I’m very shallow, so lets move right along. Specifically …
Newsflash
We were woken by the telephone this morning (well, it was 9:15am). The Lewis family were on the line to let us know that Nigel is going to be gracing us with his presence. Its a bit of rush visit, apparently the local ratcatchers need some help from an "International Man of Tax" to sort …
Thought for the Day
How do you pickle pepper? You know, as in "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Pepper"
Autumn
It is another pleasant autumn afternoon in Sydney, the sky is blue and there are some light fluffy clouds about. The wind is, unfortunately, from the South East so that is keeping the temperature down to about twenty degrees centigrade. Still, a comfortable enough temperature to walk around in a t-shirt and shorts during the …
Evil
Well, perhaps evil is a string word, but collapse certainly does soak up time like a sponge. This game joins tetris and bubble puzzle as seemingly innocuous little game-ettes that will soon have you dreaming of coloured shapes. I’m sure there is some deep psychological point to be made here but I’m too busy playing …
