I’ve had an interesting weekend. In the Chinese-proverb sense of the word. Friday night I got an email from dad informing me pop was in hospital. This wouldn’t normally bother me too much as it’s not an uncommon occurrence. That dad felt it necessary to send me an email, however, was unusual. When I spoke… Read more
I took advantage of CrossOver’s somewhat undesired give-away of their products, as part of their Lame Duck challenge. I don’t particularly have any Windows stuff I want to run, but I thought I’d check out World of Goo – it sounded like fun and it seems to be pretty popular. I had to laugh at… Read more
I was surprised to find the weather today wasn’t half bad; it’s been crappy and raining for a few days – which reminded me very nostalgically of Melbourne, with how quickly we went from summer to winter, and furthermore the daily pattern of rain in the mornings and sunny afternoons.

It’s somewhat ‘interesting’ riding back at night… bike lights don’t really do much to actually illuminate your path – they’re really just for safety, I reckon –… Read more
Francisco has been away for the most of the last week or two… first in London for some conference, and currently down in L.A. at some wedding or somesuch. It’s been awesome – aside from this weekend where David & friends apparently didn’t sleep at all, it’s been perfectly quiet, and I’ve been getting decent… Read more
