So after getting a blood test back I discover I have rather high cholesterol levels, which means for the next 3 months I can no longer eat dairy - especially cheese, or pork or fatty stuff in general. So much for my regular diet of ham and cheese sandwiches. Now what am I going to eat?
This is a about a year old, but I only just saw it.
Finally I have moved my blog from blogger to drupal. I still have to add tags and clean up the comments, but otherwise its functional. Enjoy
While we wait for google to get their act together for Australian mapping, I reckon ZoomIn is a worthy substitute.
I am so buying this with my next ThinkGeek order.
I just had one of those incredibly surreal experiences. The story starts yesterday evening when I received a phone call. It was from a guy at Fitness First. Turns out Ben Z had just joined at Rockdale and given them my name. One of those programs where each successful referral saves you $5 a month. Having thought about doing something to drop the excess fat I’ve been picking up over the last 5 years I was slightly interested, but wanted to think it over, so I gave the interested, but not that interested response and that was that....
This is from an article today on SMH: Faheem Khalid Lodhi, 36, of Lakemba, had planned to attack the Australian electricity supply system, likely causing widespread death and destruction. Without knowing exactly what this guy specifically planned on doing, I find it difficult to see how an attack on the Australian electricity system would likely cause 'widespread death and destruction'.

While the internet makes it hard to have meaningful positive relationships with people (i.e. relationships where you are friendly towards each other) it makes negative relationships much easier (i.e. relationships that are about hurting the other). It is much easier to tear someone down, insult them or humiliate them over the internet....
I recommend you read part 1 first. Computers seem to be mostly about adding files, editing files, browsing files, and sometimes deleting files. On the internet we can do the same thing - we browse sites, and if we’re particularly savvy we might add and edit our own. Computers are all about managing data sets. A sad reflection on the state of our society is that the internet is turning our relationships into data sets that we can manage....
How many of you have ever spent hours and hours chatting to someone on IM over a month or so, but ever time you meet them in person its like you don’t even know each other? Well I have. It was quite strange. One of the more eerie moments in my life. You stand there thinking in your mind of all the hours you’ve spent chatting, of all the different conversations, and how the way it felt then feels so much more different to now....
