Sunburn. Bugger. I’m suffering because of the Calcutta cup. Not the rugby trophy contested by England and Scotland every year, but the annual contest at the tennis club. Although there are similarities between the two. At the ‘proper’ Calcutta cup thirty grown men attempt to beat the living doo-dads out of each other whilst chasing …

This just in
This just in from the UK – pictures of Phoebe Lewis in her pre-school nativity play. Warning – these photos contain images of small children enjoying themselves. I believe there is also a Christian sub-text for those who feel queasy around religion.
Its a bit cheaper
Its a bit cheaper than a Volvo 60, but the Treo 10 would look just as good under the tree come Christmas Day. No pressure.
I want a go
OK. I want a go on a Volvo 60. Not a round the world race, but a blast around Sydney harbour and then out of the heads would be great. The second leg of the race was won by Illbruck yesterday, with the finish line adjacent to the opera house. For more photos try the …
Nothing to Say
I still haven’t got anything to say. Gosh, my life must be dull – well it is, but in a nice dull way that I enjoy. I revel in my dullness. If you want to be educated or amused, read this piece by Bruce Sterling.

Not Very Interesting
I do have something to say today. It is just not very interesting to anyone else. My ambition for the next week is to get to a position higher than 650 on the Vulture Central group at SETI@home. Still, you’ve got to have goals haven’t you. Oh, for those still reading, my name on the …
I’m saying nothing
I’m saying nothing today. On a technical note I have changed the scope of the archive pages from weekly to monthly. That will probably be enough excitement for one day.
A Busy Weekend
All in all a very busy weekend. I don’t know if that justifies the fact that I waited until Tuesday to post here but it is the only excuse I have. The panto went very well on Friday night, even though the lighting supplied by your truly was very basic. I followed the Mr Miyagi …
