It’s really cute looking back at the [partial] IRC logs from when Sarah and I were first going out… except when it gets up to the bit which reminds me why we broke up. And to see the date on it, and to realise how long things weren’t right. I’m suddenly not quite so interested… Read more
Ah, well, I shouldn’t have, but I wasted a good six hours last night playing Risk with the lads (Laura, Damien, Anton & Stef). It was an interesting game… it took quite a while for anyone to cement much of a lead. As usual, whenever Damien pulled together any significant power mass he would attack… Read more

Geektree. Ah, Geektree. My god, where to begin… I guess the beginning works. But wait, no, that’s too cliche… let’s start in the middle – to hell with chronology or context! By our VCE years, Geektree was a thriving hub of activity. At our school, the venerable and prestigious Mount Eliza Secondary College, there was… Read more
