I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I’ve been wondering how long free-to-air TV can persist in the face of the Internet and the increasing availability of other forms of media. We have 4 large TVs here each with surround sound and most with digital pictures either native or thru set top boxes. We also have for computers with tv access… two … More Buh-bye free-to-air?
Not a major change this time to the Australian Opinion forum… just a cosmetic one. A friend has been busy merging forums and similar to try to streamline it… it seems to have been a bit top heavy lately and this is intended to make it easier to navigate. A lot of the old boards … More Australian Opinion – another revamp.
Anyone wondering what happened yesterday… basically nothing much. I just forgot to post 😦 One little thing… the eldest took her ‘plates’ out when we stopped for lunch and left them behind when we finished – probably because we were all reading (again) the Harry Potter series getting ready for the next film and then … More Not a lot going on.
Yes… I’ve been sucked back into the magical world of Harry Potter… if it hasn’t become obvious. I’ve been re-reading the books, watching the movies (as bad as most of them have been) and chatting away on the alt.fan.harry-potter newsgroup. I really don’t have enough time to be doing this, but maybe it’s just some … More Sucked in again – newsgroups rule..
Rumor, or Rumour depending on where you live, abound about the final book in the Harry Potter series, i.e. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. I started compiling a list of the most prevalent ones I’ve seen or heard so far and written a ‘page’ listing them. The page is accessed at top right so … More Harry Potter Rumours
With one of the stars of The Simple Life already behind bars (Paris Hilton) we are now watching the other part of the duo beginning *her* court case for driving whilst drinking. Nicole Ritchie is up in court for a second time on a DUI charge. This time she’s facing a mandatory 90 day jail … More The Not so Simple Life
Watched a one hour film last night that was made back in 1981. It was called ‘Women of the Sun’ and told part of the tale of European settlement of South Eastern Australia. It’s one of a four part series documenting the effects on aboriginal culture of the invasion.. especially the females. This first part … More Women of the Sun
We’d all like some… me especially. As regulars know last year I tried to sort out some online finance only to have the bank account hacked twice and lost all the profits… which sort of put me off it. However, one source of income has continued to trickle a few dollars in here and there … More Money for old rope?
There’s an old rhyme that goes along the lines of… Whether the weather be cold Whether the weather be hot We’ll weather the weather Whatever the weather We’ll weather it like it or not. Over the past few days we’ve been getting some severe dissonance caused by the appearance of some wild and woolly weather … More Whether the weather…
The world famous QE2, once the pride of the fleet, has finally been sold off to become a ‘floating hotel’ to be moored off the coast of the Palm Resort in Dubai. The Cunard ship which has sailed the world since 1969 has been sold for US$100 million and will no doubt be affectionately remembered … More End of another era
