Conan the Toddler
I’m not sure if all my readers have seen the timeless classic that is Conan the Barbarian, but those that have will immediately spot the similarity in this video (xvid, 190kb). As Stu mentioned, all it needs now is a montage.
I’m Busy
You may have noticed a lack of posts for a little while. This will continue. Probably well into the new year. Why am I so busy? Let me count the ways: Deadline looming for big, ugly .NET 2.0 project at my day job. Kitchen at home in a state part-way between demolished and reinstated (see [...]
Guttural
I try not to harp on too much about kids, and the cuteness of such, because I believe my demographic is largely unmarried males. Feel free to correct me on that one. There are times however, when the cutification or snuggleosity factor goes beyond my ability to restrain myself. An infinitely more eloquent man than [...]
Eggciting
It’s the little things that make raising kids so exciting. This morning the little guys asked for eggs for breakfast. Now I imagine you’ll be wondering what is so exciting about eggs. True, eggs themselves are pretty un-exciting, but when it’s the first time Ollie has seemingly pulled a noun from thin air, rather than [...]
No News
Not much to write about lately. Stayed at home with a feverish young guy today, who was in dire need of distraction, so we visited the Kelly Tarlton’s aquarium attraction here in Auckland. It’s been a long time since I last visited, and there’s been a heck of a lot of upgrades since then. There’s [...]
Decisions
In-line rendering of what was previously a static htm page: Hello Slashdot. Here’s a static page in a vain attempt to save our server. I imagine you’re wanting to see the text of this article? Have a lovely day, and please do come back and visit sometime when our host provider is a little less [...]
Two Questions
Question One: why do nasty virii that cause 40.5? body temperatures and pneumonia strike at 3pm on a Friday afternoon of the nicest weekend of summer, causing one’s wife to spend Friday and Saturday night in hospital? What bastard thought of that scenario? While I wouldn’t wish the symptoms on most of my enemies, I [...]
Representation
A little while back you might have read about my concerns regarding work-related searches against this blog. I’m not sure where to go with this one, but I’m living with the fact that awareness of this site from within Datacom has gone at least three levels above me. I’m not sure if this really makes [...]
Perspective
Gadgets. Work. Software. Solving a tricky user interface presentation problem. More gadgets. Concern at messiness of email inbox. Baby not breathing. Wait a second. What!? It’s amazing how a simple phonecall from daycare can totally change your perspective. Apparently Ollie had a wee issue at daycare yesterday and stopped breathing for for around 15 seconds. [...]
Lost Content
I wonder how much content goes unread over the holiday period? Down here in New Zealand, we’re in the midst of summer (albeit a pretty average one weather-wise), which means that I’ve spent a lot of my time outdoors, and have been away from the computer for a week. There was no option but to [...]
