After years of thinking I didn’t share a birthday with anybody exciting, I hit Wikipedia today and found out that Steve Wozniak was also born on August 11th. I stop complaining now.

I just spent a couple of hours recording music, and it was fun! Yes indeed! That is all.
The nostalgia! It burns!

When reading this review of Amiga OS 4.0, I start missing my old Amiga 2000 (with 68040 expansion card and 17Mb of RAM!) and Frankenstein CD32-with-SX32-expansion…. quite a lot. Damn, the Amiga was a great home computer. I owned three between 1988 and 1998. My CD32 is still sitting in a box somewhere, but the [...]
We have no plans

We fielded many questions on Saturday night as to when Crumpet and I were planning on tying the knot. You only get those questions at weddings and lo and behold, that’s where we were. Some pics can be found here. Congratulations to Iain and Tara!
Crumpet is a nerd

Crumpet just asked me to ‘scroll across out of her way’ when she wanted me to move my chair from in front of the fridge. I asked her if she’d prefer me to alt-tab to the fridge.
More Ebert-lite

Crumpet and I saw Pan’s Labyrinth last night, and it’s hard to describe why I was so impressed with the film without giving too much away. Suffice it to say that this is the film that I wish Terry Gilliam was capable of making – it’s a wonderful combination of sweet fantasy and dark, gritty [...]

Today I dropped my PowerBook for the first time. The tiny latch that holds the screen shut snapped (no other damage that I can see so far), but the latch seems to be integral to the bottom of the case. Replacing it (which I really need to do if I’m to continue taking this laptop [...]
Stuff about today

Today was ludicrously hot. So hot that half the state is apparently blacked out. I know that Mopsy’s ambient temperature sensor reached 44ºC and the air conditioning was only really able to fight the heat when the car was in motion. Not that easy to do when you consider that about half the traffic lights [...]
Service…

Mopsy had her 10,000km service today, and I had the greasemonkeys tighten a few screws inside the cockpit – some rattles seemed to appear around the time Steve and I headed down to the Great Ocean Road. A coincidence I’m sure. Anyhow, the seat no longer squeaks (seat rails were greased), the B-pillar (right next [...]
It's just like starting over

Pants in Motion has been GOOGLIFIED! Ahhh, the joy of crawling through logs to find which search engine loves my posts more… I’m already at the top of a search for “pants in motion”, but let’s see if I can get some other hits too. Boobs. Lesbians. Um…. knitted pie.
