Belated new Year's resolution.
I'm finally starting my New Years resolution, rather belatedly. But it's too much of a nuisance to try to get in shape during the party season. As my facebook friends know I've been spamming Runkeeper stats of my walks. I'm aiming to do 4k plus every day, if the weather co-operates that is. It's perpetually tropical at the moment with near 100 ( Read more... ) -
Power out.
With a little over half an hour to go at work this morning and all the power went out. Luckily it's light now at 6:30 am so we weren't completely in the dark once we opened the curtains. Emergency lighting only in the corridors and thats not enough to even read by. All the fire doors closed automatically. Over in IRC they couldn't even open the ( Read more... ) -

Australia Day.
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of rugged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains. (Too right!)
I love her far horizons,
I love her jeweled sea.
Her beauty and her terror,
The wide brown land for me!
Happy Ozzie Day. :) -
War stories
One of the perks of my job is getting to spend time listening to elders tell me their stories. Last night a old gentleman, an ex air force pilot, told me about a frightening night he had flying a bomber across the English channel during the second world war. They'd hit some violent turbulance just off the coast on their way back and half way ( Read more... ) -

Posting the short story I mentioned earlier. It's based on jeriendhal's ongoing story 'A Summer Intern'.
The thought of Terinu being kicked out of his tree house by a bunch of does made me lol.
