I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
At long last, I’ve started rationalising our IT configuration which has been in a dreadful (and expensive) mess for some time. Again this month we’ve reached the download limit of our Internet account (12 Gb) and the ISP has ‘shaped’ the speed down to 64K which is totally unacceptable. As part of a general shakeup … More IT reconfiguration underway at last.
Ok I know I’m blowing around like the weather we’ve been having but we really really did have a lovely morning. Started as usual in the dark with the usual visit to the rail station to drop the wife off for her trip to ‘The City’ and her daily doings. Then I turned the car … More Oh what a beautiful morning.
In an effort to help protect children, the Australian government is offering free internet content filters for all Australian citizens. Copies are free and if you need one they’ll even post you a copy (which is the option *I* chose! :)) If you live in Australia and would like a free copy… or if you … More Free Childnet filters!
I have no idea why this woman keeps getting media space. She is just pointlessly offensive towards anyone that will earn her a few inches of column space. She had a go at Steve Irwin after he was dead.. and is now hacking at Princess Diana calling her a ‘devious moron’!! Well pardon me… Germaine … More Germaine Greer – a nasty old bag!
So we all get up, wife goes to work, I jolly the kids along because today is the day the eldest goes back to school. However we have to visit the Orthodontist first to let him give her a check up first. Still, I make her get ready for school… after all it’s just a … More More on the daughter
Wow what a weekend. Spent the entire thing sitting in a chair reading Lord of the Rings… again. Couldn’t even summon up enough energy to write in here yesterday! Youngest had to go to her skating lesson so I staggered out of bed at 6:30 a.m. after serious nagging from the wife who was exhausted … More These wild weekends are wearing me down
Daughter came through ok. Spent until lunchtime in the hospital because the bleeding wouldn’t stop, but eventually she was allowed home 🙂 Her face was really badly swollen so she’s been wearing an ice-pack most of the day… the one they gave us was pretty good. I might keep it in case it comes in … More Just for info.
The world at large seems to have decided I’m either not a ‘fit and proper person’, or that I have no peer group since in all my years I’ve never been called for jury duty! Come to think of it… I can’t say I even *know* anyone who’s been called for jury duty? If you … More Jury Duty – not once!
Slow down,you move to fast You’ve gotta make the morning last… etc… Was driving home this morning from the hospital where I’d dropped off the wife and eldest daughter (who is having teeth removed you may recall?). We left the youngest is bed asleep so I had to come back to get her ready for … More Slow down!
Lots going on today to remember that 30 years ago today Elvis died. Can’t say I ever liked him, can’t recall when he died and didn’t honestly care much when I heard. Is it so important that a mediocre singer like him be remembered this way?? Surely there were *far* better people to honour than … More Elvis has left the building!
