I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
A week by myself… well alone except for the oldies and the kids… and dogs… and cat… and fishes…Â and the housework… groan… 😦 I was going to spend the day on the computer but instead I had a go at our bedroom… which I assure you was several months overdue for detonation. I managed … More Ah well… wife gone… I'm all alone 😦
Yet again Channel 9 is messing about with the coverage of the Commonwealth Games. Not content with ignoring almost all countries performances and all sports which didn’t have an Australian participating *and* in with a chance at Gold… … they are now delaying giving us the closing ceremony. Bloody useless coverage… but the alternatives are … More Australian TV is the pits.
At last real progress seems to be on the way regarding a vaccine for food poisoning. As a start there is evidence supporting trials for a Listeria vaccine, an often fatal infection carried in food. There are real hopes the research can be made transferable to both a more common cause of food poisoning caused … More New food poisoning vaccine on the way.
Canadian ‘hunters’ have begun the annual slaughter of baby harp seals expecting to shoot or club to death around 350,000 of the helpless animals.

Had a call Friday afternoon telling me the laptop is fixed and ready to be paid for and collected. Once I have that I’ll be well sorted. The problems with the lappie were legion including a failed DVD writer, a failed HDD and a collapsing OS 🙂 The reason I needed it repaired… at the … More Well the lappie's fixed.
 The kids got the the exercise while I spent the time playing with the new toy. Damn fine piece of kit this… though it *ought* to be for the price! I connected it up to my bluetooth keyboard and off we went… loads of fun 🙂  I’ve since also paired it with my … More Took the kids skating.
Was intending to do masses today, but as ‘Phannie’ reminded me, I’d not even had time to rejig the theme I’d chosen to make it look right with the site! So… tomorrow you say? Well maybe not. The wife is off to Uni for a week from Sunday morning so maybe it’ll be an extra … More Workload.
