Obviously my shite host has done something to the email server ‘cos pMachine can’t send out notification emails 🙁 My apologies if I haven’t replied to a comment via email but it’s that I don’t have an email to reply to.

Might be a good idea to upgrade to 2.3 to have more control over email……

the wars

This post was written by Marc in the category(ies) Max 3 Comments »

Poor wee Max has really been in the wars this week.  On Monday he face planted on the floor (tripped over his own shoe) and gave himself a fat lip which is still purple.  On Wednesday he fell over at playgroup and took a chunk out of the underside of his chin!  Today he woke up with a big scratch on his nose (no, I have no idea – aliens?) and then this afternoon he goes flying into the gate that keeps him out of the kitchen, it collapses and he lands on the edge cutting his head open by his eye.  Loads of blood, a trip to the doctor’s and a couple of steri-strips later and he’s back to himself smile

buggy

Vic partook in, and won, her first on-line auction today.  She was bidding on this used mountain buggy.

She seems happy enough with the deal and luckily we have someone who can pick it up from the seller in Auckland.  The really cool thing is that our very good friends David and Claire are coming down from Auckland to see us this weekend (much yayness!) and David works in the sellers suburb and will pick it up and bring it down smile

everybody

Anybody out there watch Everybody loves Raymond and can tell me what happened between Robert and Amy after they got married?  Our viewing seems to have jumped from the wedding to the episode where there’s no power.  Amy had just split up from her “boyfriend” and we’re confused as hell!

Ta smile

Update: OK, so after a bit of digging it seems that this episode is from the season before they get married…. wtf!

courting trouble

I’ve just finished my two days of jury service at the high court smile

I was called up for a possible two week stint and was a possible juror for two trials.  In the end I didn’t get picked for either and didn’t even make it past the random ballot stage which was good.

The trial that started yesterday was a murder trial and was expected to go for up to two weeks and I’m not sure what the one today was for.  Yesterday’s trial made the newspaper today and I have scanned in the details – they are found in the “click here..” section of this entry.  I’m glad I didn’t have to see pictures of that!

another trip

This post was written by Marc in the category(ies) News No Comments »

I got back from Oz very early (01:00) yesterday morning in one piece and am very glad to be back.  This trip was extremely busy as I was told on Wednesday that one of my customers wanted a proposal by Friday morning!  The only night that I had planned as free time I ended up working in my hotel room from 5pm though to 11:30pm 🙁

Besides that the most interesting news was that my next trip (at the moment) will be in 3 months to Shanghai!  We will be having our tech-summit there with all the tech people from AJP (Australia, Pacific and Japan) attending – all 380’ish of them.  Should be fun wink
