So I’m in Melbourne this week and it’s been raining on and off with some high winds (just like home really :)) I was walking from the building that my course was in back to the hotel and had to walk along the banks of the Yarra river. Rain plus high tide ensured that my walk was somewhat disrupted……
42 – that’s how old I am today!
My day has been spent “working from home” and looking after a sick wife and 3 year old – to be fair it was quite nice looking after the family.
Besides my new MacBook Pro Vic bought me a harmony universal remote that I can program on the PC. The boys also bought me a Wii Fit which Max and I had a hoot setting up tonight 🙂 I’m a very lucky man…
Not so lucky is the fact that I’m off to Melbourne for another week on Sunday 🙁
I’ve moved to the dark side! This is my new toy – 15″ Macbook Pro. I’ve had it 12 hours and am still trying to figure out how to do the basics but am enjoying the un-learning/learning process.
My mate Rico sent me this and it tickled my geeky sense of humour 🙂
I was wandering the web today (actually just reading my Gizmodo RSS feed) and came across a new cartoon site that has made my Google Reader page – See Mike Draw. It’s a bit hit and miss but worth keeping an eye on…..
This is what Max sounds like at 5 years old 🙂

The remains of a woman have been found sitting in front of her TV – 42 years after she was reported missing.
Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea before sitting in her favourite armchair in front of her black and white television.
Croatian police said she was last seen by neighbours in 1966, when she would have been 42 years old.
Her neighbours thought she had moved out of her flat in the capital, Zagreb.
But she was found by police and bailiffs who had broken in to help the authorities establish who owned the flat.
A police spokesman said: “So far, we have no idea how it is possible that someone officially reported missing so long ago was not found before in the same apartment she used to live in.
“When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time.
“The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in and the house was full of things no one had seen for decades. Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there.”
Neighbours were shocked by the discovery.
Jadranka Markic was nine when Hedviga “vanished”.
She said: “I still remember her. She was a quiet woman who kept herself to herself but was polite. We all thought that she had just moved out and gone to live with relatives.”
