As January rolls to a close, we are each given the opportunity to consider how our goals and dreams for the year have been realized in the first 1/12 of the time allowed. In this context, I’m proud to say that almost nothing I wanted to achieve have I actually achieved, but the almost is [...]

Just lately I’ve been thinking about what software would be “must-have” on my home PC (windows based), and I decided to compile a list.
1. CDex, which I’ve talked about previously for the purpose of converting your CDs into MP3 files. And it’s free.
2. Ahead Nero, for the burning of CD-R media. It’s cheap.
3. TMPGEnc, to [...]

So what exactly does one write on a weblog when they go home at 5:30pm, eat dinner, surf the web a bit and go to bed at 7:30pm? This is the challenge that I’m facing at the moment.
Oh - I had lunch with Leyton yesterday. ‘Nuff said. I am having lunch with KJ on Friday [...]

Hoo boy. What a truly, truly mammoth weekend - thank goodness that it was 3 days long or I wouldn’t have been able to fit it all in!
Eddy came over for dinner and TV on Friday night, which was good, and by the time he left at about 9:30pm (!) I was fully ready for [...]

Uhh. I am so full of fruit scone right now it isn’t even funny. They’re my latest addiction, and with an Ice Break, they constituted breakfast this morning.
It is my esteemed flat mate Blacky’s birthday today. He is almost officially an old fart, and would be, if not for the fact that he’s only 29 [...]

Hi!
I’m having an Australia Day BBQ this Sunday the 26th. It’s going to be held
at Minnippi Park, Tingalpa (just behind Carina). There will be lots of
music (Triple J hottest 100) and of course some cricket in the park.
The festivities will be starting at 10am and should [...]

Last night, I’m laying in bed, unable to sleep, when at about 10:30pm, my door buzzer rings. So I get up and answer it, and it’s stupid Leyton and Blacky home from Beenleigh-soccer. They come up and pressure me against my will to watch another 24 episode. Then another. The upshot of which is that [...]

I just got a birthday present from my boss, Edward - 2 tickets to see Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett and Max Merritt at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Gold section, and let’s just say that these babies are EXPENSIVE.
They come with conditions, however. Unless I can find a single, pretty girl to go with, then Edward [...]

In the 24-marathon, the scores are as follows: Blacky, Leyton and I are up to 4am, John is up to 2am. Fortunately, I’ve got the 2am and 3am episodes on SVCD now, which I can give him to catch up.
The reason we three have our scores up is mostly due to Leyton having Blacky and [...]

The weak-of-heart should NOT click on this link …
Over a HJ’s Mega Meal lunch, Leyton and I watched the 3rd hour of 24. I’m really getting into this show, although time restrictions mean that it really must be watched quickly or you forget who’s who. Seeing as Leyton was coming around for dinner that night [...]
