The Great Australian Stair Case
is this a stair case, or what? Can you even SEE the staircase in this picture? If you see it (and it excites you)… CONTACT ME :-P I have been trying to find the largest publicly accessible stair case available (in Sydney) for a couple of weeks now, and other than what I found on …

WHAT A DAY!

After devouring a full foot-long sub I decided a longer walk was necessary. As you can see by the map, it was no short walk. All …
eeePC and what I don’t like
I am sitting here (at home) adding to this blog on my eeePC. I have been struggling for the last few hours since I mashed up the startup script and effectively rendered my eeePC (here-in after called “the e” or just “e” for short) a brick… It kept just rebooting endlessly… Eventually I got a …

ASUS eeePC- initial thoughts
On the weekend I bought myself a new toy. It’s the ASUS eeePC. At around A$500 it’s one of the cheapest laptops on the market at the moment. It sports: a 7in LCD screen 800×480, 900MHz Intel CPU, 512MB 667MHz DDR2 ram, 4GB solid state hard drive (it is basically an SD card), 802.11a/b/g WiFi …

This morning’s weigh-in was 94.6kg!!! ONLY 100 grams off making it a neat 11kg! I have poker tonight, but I plan to be UNDER 94.5kg for tomorrows weigh-in, so I have to be good. …
distance travelled and the road less taken
I try to walk most days I have off. But it does become tiring and boring. I am VERY lucky I live in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world… (SYDNEY – if you had to ask!). I have often thought about ‘tuning’ up my walk with some music, but …
