Oooohhh, it’s very close to the witching hour now, hey KIDS?Anyway a few quick Developer’s notes, of sorts. Sorry to those using Opera to browse this site - it looks rather SHITE (certainly in Opera 9.02 for Windows, the version I have). I’m not sure why as yet. The XHTML & CSS code validates, and all looks FINE in the latest versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Netscape.Being NYE ... Read full entry

I’ve just about written something in my “journal” every day since I re-booted it. Don’t worry, it won’t last. I’m in holiday mode, relaxed, and high on the happy side, so it’s kinda fun. Anyway, moving along, time to get a little more sombre.Technorati Tags.You’ve probably noticed they’re gone from here.

Been out for a very, very late morning walk. Collected a few photos. And some sunburn, with my luck. (Yep, I did slip, slop, slap.)Anyway this photo’s interesting. It’s on the side wall of a local cafe, called 105 (cue: street number). Thing is the artwork on this spot of the wall seems to change regularly. Something else was there a few ... Read full entry

Belmore Road, Randwick. Somewhere between the Garden of Eden and the Devil’s playground. Well, OK, it’s just your average suburban high street really.I’ve had a fine time as I’ve been running numerous pre Christmas errands. Running into friends old and new. Fabio has nothing on this.
