Ok, gang, it’s the ninth innings, the bases are loaded and we’re two out. Time to hit this week home.
I still have a touch of the sick, but I’m making a more conscious effort to drink more water. I’ve noticed when I’ve woken up lately that I have been totally dying of thirst, even if [...]

So I wanted to find Glenn’s home phone number, but it turns out I no longer have it. So I rang Australian directory assistance and asked for “Homo Miller” in Tinglapa-area.
The lady was very apologetic, but said the only listing for “Homo Miller” was in Mansfield, although earlier this year there was a listing for [...]

So every year, I go to Brainshare in the USA. This year is no exception, so I’m taking applications now for people who want to be flown to the USA in exchange for keeping me company and helping with the stand for a few days.
March 16-21, 2008 is the official dates of the show.
Presently, I’m [...]

Some TIMES I feel I’ve got to
BUMP BUMP
run away, I GOT TO
BUMP BUMP
get away
So says the wisdom of Soft Cell with their hit “Tainted Love”. Presumably I’ve been sitting in front of this computer for too long. Sigh.
I’ve been look at stocks and managed funds lately, and I’m pretty impressed with a couple I’ve seen. [...]

I have a sore throat - I blame Leyts and Brendo: too much shouting over bad music in smoky bars. We had a pretty good night on Monday, started at the Japanese place I’m so fond of, then to the Singha beer garden, then to Soi Cowboy, then to a pool bar on Nana, then [...]

So “the software business” will live for a little longer, thanks to a big fish landed today. I am well, Mint is well and today Brendo and Leyts arrive back in BKK for one last night. Why not celebrate? I will be.

It’s Friday night in Brisneyland, so there’s every chance nobody will read this until Monday.
I went on a visa run with Quick Thai Visa Run yesterday. I needed to be at Ekkamai before 9am, which was about 3 stops on the BTS from Asok station, which is the stop nearest to my place. I left [...]

ok I don’t have a lot of time to talk today because I’m going on a Visa run, but last night I had a wierd dream.
I was a modern day Cardinal Wolsey, in service to a king who wanted to get married, and I was finding the best candidate which the king would accept but [...]

So the weekend just gone was great: Leyts and Brendo were in Bangers, and we painted the town red.
Let’s see - they got here crazy early … like before 7am. They dumped their bags and we went for a walk, to Dream hotel for breakfast. It’s also a nice place to sit and chill for [...]

The discrepancy in price between “western food” and “Thai food” is amazing.
Yesterday, I was in a terribly desperate state for a burger. The closest burger joint near me is McDonalds. For a burger, drink and sundae I paid about 170B. That’s about $5.75 or thereabouts.
Today for lunch, I had Khao Cook Kapi (fried rice with [...]
