Ciaran has now got a website. Say hello to Really? I’m sure it will be a riveting read. Just watch out for the Star Wars and Lord of the Toss references, I shall be keeping count just to make sure that the number does not veer into the "extremely sad" range.

Saying Nothing
I haven’t got much to say today, so I’m going to take Shane McChesney‘s advice and say nothing. But, if you fancy a little detour go and check out the biscuit of the week, courtesy of Ciaran. Well, it made me smile anyway. Oh, and Mr Hennessy, you can’t call yourself a sad techie unless …
Nothing to Wear
Its one of the great paradoxes – “I haven’t got anything to wear”, to which the attendant 2nd party says “But what about those wardrobes full of clothes?”. Which we all know is a foolish response. Today we will extend that with “There is nothing to eat”, to which the reply “But what about the …
Quote of the Day
For the first time on this blog, here is a quote of the day; Phillip Lopate. “The prospect of a long day at the beach makes me panic. There is no harder work I can think of than taking myself off to somewhere pleasant, where I am forced to stay for hours and ‘have fun’.” …

For my beloved.
An entry for my beloved. You can now play your favourite computer game on line. Courtesy of the lovely people at Flash Arcade (and one of my hard working colleagues), here is Bubble Trouble.
School Announcements
At the moment I drive to work. On my journey I pass a public school. I’m not sure of the terms here in Australia but it would be called a junior school in the UK. The children they teach range (I guess) from 5 to about 12 (when they go to high school). I quite …
