The situation is getting dire, here. If my paper delivery from Officecentre doesn’t arrive soon, I’ll have to start printing on the third side of my pages, if that is even possible, which it isn’t.
I have to remember the deal with upgrades on Thai, now that I’m a gold frequent flyer. The relevant clauses are [...]
It’s time to welcome Leyton to the stock market game. He bought in yesterday, and is currently in fourth. Although, he did cause me some extra work, being the first person to buy shares at over a hundred bucks each (RIO), I had to widen the table to account for it. At the moment, I [...]
Does anyone have a use for a USB HP external DVD writer? I stupidly bought one trying to see if Lightscribe (while cool) could be an alternative to giving out CDs that didn’t autorun in America (it wasn’t).
So if anyone has any ideas for anyone who might want it, drop me a line.

More tomorrow, including the desert panic, the mistake in Los Angeles and the incredible flight home.
Well ok then. The desert panic is my favourite story, so I’ll start with that.
After a detour after Las Vegas to check out a place mentioned reasonably extensively on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - the delightfully named “Pahrump, [...]
I am this morning arrived back in Bangers.
When I last rapped atcha, I was semi-looking forward to Frank Caliendo/Collective Soul and a day of doing nothing. Isn’t it funny how plans don’t work out?
Instead, I joined Eric and Sally at the Novell reception at the Mariott for free drinks and food with no crowds (which [...]
I’m aware of the irony of having a post with this title follow the last post, but I just don’t care. Today is the last day of Brainshare, and yesterday I got the suprise of my life when my old pal Dids came by my booth with a suprised “Deano!”
He’s working for the evil empire [...]
Everyone’s now below $0 on the stock market game, and with the US having a major scare today on the stock market, we’ll drop further tomorrow. Oh well, lucky it’s just a game right?
Brainshare’s going ok, althoguh I come to hate it every year, and this year is no exception. Stupid people just looking [...]
I suffer from nosebleeds in dry environments. Well, ’suffer’ is probably an extreme description, perhaps ‘endure’ is better. This includes Salt Lake City, hotel rooms and aeroplanes. But today begins my testing of a new theory: nosebleeds and chapped lips are the same.
So, I have bought some Vaseline “Lip Therapy” gel, and in addition to [...]

So I’ve made a mistake.
The CDs for the show I burnt, have a slight mistake. They don’t autorun.
At first, I thought this was pretty bad, so I looked into alternate solutions for reburning 200 CDs, with my pretty pictures on the front.
Option 1 was Discmakers, but too expensive. So I looked into option 2, which [...]

I am currently in Scipio, Utah. Today I will make the final push into Salt Lake, so I’m almost there.
The getting here went well. For the first time ever, the taxi driver in Bangkok didn’t try to pull something with the taxi meter - either pretending it didn’t work, or waiting until we were en [...]
