Dentist Redux

I went to the dentist once more yesterday, to have the remaining two fillings done. The process was much faster this time – less work to be done, and we all knew the process now. It worked much the same as last time, excepting, notably, that this time I’m not sure how well the anaesthetic… Read more

North Island photos now online

Well, it’s only taken me nearly two months since they were actually taken, but hey, better late than never; my New Zealand photos – from the North Island only, at this point – are now available on my Flickr account.

Now, Google Maps is reasonable in Australia – it’s not very up to date, and it’s true it does occasionally invent… Read more

Ah, the wonders of working with government

So, a while back I went to the DMV to try to get my Californian license. I’m still not sure whether I actually need one or not, but I figure I should err on the side of caution. And it’d make it a little easier to get into bars and whatnot, too – I’m yet… Read more
