This is now an old, old story — it happened back in 2008! — but I’m republishing it as I’ve still got said console, and I’m setting it up again for some serious playtime. People throw out the strangest things, something I found out first-hand this morning. It’s council kerbside pickup time — we get …
The one in which I end up with a new… errm… old console. Read More »
I’m reliably informed that one way to ensure lots of healthy web traffic is to ensure that your Web site is stocked with lots of pictures of brazenly naked birds. So here goes. I still can’t quite get over how birds can seemingly break their own necks in order to eat stuff. It creeps me …
Well, I was today. Stuff still got done, but in a lethargic kind of way. So it’s rather appropriate that when I headed out to put out the garbage later in the day, I found this little chap making his way down the side of the wheely bin….
Is it self-indulgent of me to link stuff that I haven’t written, but where I’m quoted as an expert in a given field? Heck, yes it is. But that won’t stop me; it’s still Alex in published form: A Wee PC is hard to get excited about: “To check that I wasn’t being a complete …
What a stupid lyric that is. I mean, think about it. What’s “she” going to do, suddenly forget that there’s these fleshy protuberances under her bottom, but forget all about walking, jogging and jumping? Either that, or ZZ Top were singing about one year olds, in which case… ewwww… Also on the stupid-ometer today are …
Many, many things to write about — from Robotic Grannies to infants with lung infections to the bizarre sight of the rain on the plain falling mainly… in Hay. We didn’t see any residents in Hay, possibly because they were hiding in terror from the strange water falling freely from the sky… In the meantime …
There is no stopping them. The Ants will soon be here… Read More »
I just spent the last three days in bed. It’s not as much fun as it sounds; rather than, say, three days in bed with my nearest and dearest, a magnum of champagne and a few dozen oysters, this was instead three days of blinding pain, sinus infection and a fever that left me sweating …
Neither rain, nor snow, nor blinding sinus infection… Read More »
As evidenced by this review, live today at CNET.com.au Samsung A711: “If you’re a secret agent, pressed for time and need to flee this Web page before something unspeakable happens to you, that’s pretty much the A711 in a nutshell. Hey, it could happen…”
It would seem only appropriate on the 40th Birthday of LOGO for me to point out one of my favourite opinion columns; like LOGO, it’s getting older, but it’s still good fun: Turtley Logical: “Thirteen years ago – probably not to the day, but there’s always the possibility – a wise man said a terribly …
Mmm.. tasty. Today, the dentist plugged me full of drugs (not too bad), and then drilled holes in, well, my head. They used to call that Trepanation. I don’t think I was demon possessed when I went in, but I was definitely more cash-possessed. Oh well, time to turn out more words of wonderful prose, …
