Gah. My previous, Captcha-centric approach to dealing with the comment spam actually led to far more comment spam getting through. As such, I’m trying a new approach, as advised by ye olde clone — it apparently works for him. Can I have another round of comments (and comments on what you hit when trying to […]

I’ve been part of the Leukemia Foundation’s “World’s Greatest Shave” for a number of years previous, but to be honest, the thrill wears off (and thus, the sponsorship drops) once people get used to the sight of you bald. It’s a good idea, but one whose time I thought had passed for me. That was,

My beloved daughter has just informed me that she keeps a Rhinoceros in the back yard. But not just an “ordinary” Rhinoceros. Apparently, this particular odd toed ungulate is an “enormous” Rhino; she was very keen that I understand this wasn’t just some titchy little African Savannah dweller. Oh, and apparently she rides around on

Wow. I’m surprisingly busy all of a sudden. It’s rather nice, from a freelancer’s perspective, to be the belle of the ball that everyone wants to dance with. Makes a big change from my actual High School experiences, where a grand total of absolutely nobody wanted to dance with me*. Anyway, I’ve been busy, writing,

Even with the Captcha thing in place, I’m getting more comment spam than I was before. I’ve modified it slightly — can somebody post something in the comments field just to check it? The word field should be slightly longer now.
Gah. Stupid Spambots. Be more funny. Read More »
More musings from the brain of Alex online today, this time at Australian Macworld: Eee, By Gum: “Having lead a Goodies-soaked youth, I always wanted to use that headline. Be happy it wasn’t “Eeecky Thump!””

I didn’t think it was possible to get more annoyed with American “Christians” after my adventures with Creflo.A.Dollar… and then I did. A friend of mine sent me the following link yesterday, as issued by the Westboro Baptist Church “God hates Australia” You might not be familiar with the Westboro Baptist Church. The Wikipedia link

I must be slipping. There’s published works of mine, online now for your perusal, and I hadn’t noted them. Geez… is this what senility is like? CNET.com.au has the following: PocketSurfer 2: “Want free Web surfing on an easy to use and speedy device? Then the PocketSurfer 2 is exactly not what you’re looking for.”

Ah, out of the mouths of babes, and all that. And speaking of big mouths, could my extensive readership (you know who you are) do me a small favour and post a comment on this post? You can say whatever you want (even Hello would be nice); I just want to test the new-fangled anti-spam-commenty-thingy
But Daddy… you do have a big mouth… Read More »
(although not the one in Calgary. That one was frozen solid) See? That’s Bow River behind me… about 30cm behind my left foot, in fact. While I was pondering walking on water (in the non-miracle, fall-through-and-freeze-yourself-to-death-way) the Australian presses were running hot with my valuable and prized words. First up, the February 2008 issue of
