Christmas and New Years

( Blogging and Family and Friends and Fun Stuff and Weekends and Work )

Since Christmas for me is one big roller-coaster ride that starts on Christmas Eve and doesn’t stop until you’re throwing-up a little in your own mouth from all the family get-together’s, work do’s and drinking copious amounts of alcohol in-between just to make the whole experience bearable… I thought it would be soft to let [...]

Trivia Nights and PS3

( Family and Weekends and Work )

I find it funny that I tend to suck at a lot of the things I enjoy the most… or as Kurt Cobain would say “I’m worst at what I do best… and for this gift, I feel blessed”.
Two of these things just happen to be gaming (of the computer or console variety) and trivia… [...]

Weekend at Bunya Mountains, Michael Jackson homage, music, some strange photo sites, coffee making robots and The Maxx…

( Blogging and Family and Fun Stuff and Music and Weekends and Work )

Wow, I just re-read that title and it sounds jam-packed with goodness, so I thought I should add this disclaimer before you read the rest of my post: I do not guarantee, or even make any claim that the following text will be as interesting or informative as the title… there is however a good [...]

Go, trig boy! It’s your birthday!

( Family and Friends and Weekends and Work )

Yes, today is my birthday. Nothing particularly incredible about it, other than the fact that I’ve just turned 30 which is somewhat of a milestone… I recall when I was a little kid, I used to think that middle-aged was about 30-35… it’s funny how opinions change as you get older
Although not [...]

Car batteries, BBQ’s and Casino lunches

( Family and Friends and Weekends )

Over the past couple of weeks, my car has been a little bit like a mobile phone, or more accurately a life-size remote control vehicle – it works for 24 hours, but then you need to recharge it’s battery.
A couple of weeks ago my car mysteriously wouldn’t start. Kristy gave me a jump start, [...]

A weekend of brief catch-ups

( Family and Friends and Weekends )

I was hoping to get into the city (where all our servers are) and upgrade the RAM in a couple of the machines as they’ve been getting busier and busier as things continue to grow… but the RAM didn’t turn-up on time, so I ended-up staying at home, pottering around the house and watching movies.
It’s [...]

Try and visualise an interesting title for this post… and then insert it here

I’m planning on rambling about a bunch of different things in this post and subsequently that makes it hard to come-up with a concise and entertaining title… not that it’s stopped me in the past as a majority of my posts don’t really seem to go anywhere, and I don’t think any of my headings [...]

I just don’t get camping

( Family and Fun Stuff and Travel and Weekends )

We arrived home from our little camping trip around lunch-time yesterday.
To be completely honest with you, it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as I was expecting.  It wasn’t great either, but still not too bad.  That being said, we didn’t REALLY go camping.  We camped in a caravan park / campsite at Gold Coast’s Main [...]

Christmas is over… phew

( Family and Friends and Fun Stuff and Weekends )

I can be a very happy and festive person, but the over-commercialisation and the fact that it’s by far the busiest time of year for us, always spoils the spirit of the season.
This year (like most other years) Christmas started on Christmas Eve where we joined my Parents for the Chrissy Church service… came home, [...]

Smile…

( Family and House and Work )

Once again it’s been a while since my last update (this seems to be happening a lot lately).
In the ‘big update‘ I did a little over a month ago, I mentioned a few good things and a few bad.  One of the bad things was that our house was broken into.  Well it happened again.  [...]
