I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Just an update. Saturday morn at 11:00 a.m. I weighed 157.9 kilos. This morning I weighed at 7:00 a.m. and was 148.5. Something seems to be working. I just need to keep up an average of three quarters of kilo a day (or so) and I’ll be a shoe in for winner of the competition!! … More The Diet
No not the radio… nor my LAN… just that months ago I bought a wireless transmitter for our Foxtel connection and am yet to install it. The connection into the house is upstairs, but when the old man and old lady came to stay we moved downstairs to make life easier for them (and us … More Wireless blues
The wife is into spring cleaning mode. Her few days at home coupled with *her* diet have resulted in her getting quite manic so to use up her energy, the place is being given the once-over. We cleared most of the downstairs and odd spots through the upper floor and today we are starting the … More Spring cleaning time again
I thought maybe this time I’d document what I’m doing in terms of diet and exercise in a different blog… I don’t want to fill Opinion Australia up with diet stuff, it’s not really what it’s for. If you’re interested, the new site is at http://www.odps.net and it’s called ‘Fat Man on a Diet‘. Seemed … More New Site.
As said the other day, I joined up with the Biggest Loser program in a make or break attempt to get rid of the weight. So far all is well. The wife is still doing all the cooking and keeping me out of the kitchen which is a *big* help. I weighed in on Sat … More Progress report.
One of the problems with giving police extreme powers is that on occasion they tend to use them badly. Whilst APEC was on this week, a guy walking across the road in front of a motorcade was arrested in front of his 11 year old son and spent 22 hours in a cell with no … More APEC extremists.
Spent this morning again at the gym. Arrived early with the youngest daughter for her skating lesson at 7:00 a.m. and the wife dragged me off for a brisk walk around the lake having also made me stagger down (and up) a long flight of stairs. The wife wanted to go round a few times … More Here we go again!
Facebook, that ubiquitous networking service, has, in its wisdom, decreed that breastfeeding is immoral!! A letter they sent to this ex-member includes the following Please note, nudity, drug use, or other obscene content is not allowed on the website. Excuse me? Breastfeeding is obscene? Or are they suggesting it constitutes drug use?? Or is it … More Breastfeeding still an issue
Because we’re likely to be inundated with visitors over Xmas, if my eldest daughter in the UK can get her act together in time, we’ve made a start of cleaning up the old ‘computer room… currently the kids play lounge. It’s a pretty big room with space for double bed, 3 piece suite, largish media … More Just searching.
I’d not realised until now that it’s possible to embed video from YouTube into WordPress! For security reasons the developers have always shied away from allowing arbitrary code to be inserted in any of the posts but they seem to have overcome the problem and we can now add movies on an ad hoc basis. … More Here's a new trick!
