After quite a few years of upgrading the same old PC, I decided to buy a new one..

It runs quite well 🙂 The biggest performance improvement, though, was to dump Windows for […]

It was rather nice at West Beach last night 🙂 [pe2-image src=”http://lh6.ggpht.com/-DCORAAqMSsA/UudZJFXO8oI/AAAAAAAAci8/cCBFjpGbogg/s144-c-o/West%252520Beach%25252027-Jan-2014.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/116730948297768793432/Blog#5973841443323572866″ caption=”West Beach 27-Jan-2014.jpg” type=”image” alt=”West Beach 27-Jan-2014.jpg” ]

How this for nuts? Nautilus Drive, West Beach… [pe2-image src=”http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Brz-sj1Tn38/Uqlykid6bEI/AAAAAAAAcNg/oOwZiQlfjfI/s144-c-o/twinkle.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/116730948297768793432/Blog#5956417954227317826″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”twinkle.jpg” ]

How To Make A Paper Airplane Fly Forever..

Brilliant video of the making of Sydney Harbour Bridge! The narration on this one was done by the cleaner on his tea break!

I’ve been working on a bit of a project the last few weeks. The gadget below caught my eye, and (ever thinking of future requirements) I grabbed one 🙂 Behold, a Norco 4224 SAN Chassis! I filled it with a simple Asrock Motherboard, a G41C I Used an Intel Quad-Core Extreme CPU that I had […]

We Spent the Weekend at Black Point, on the Yorke Peninsula, with Leng and Chris, and Jess and Jake! The Beach Shack we rented was passable, although nothing to write home about, but the dogs had an absolute BLAST! They never stopped from the moment we got there, and played in the water, sand and […]

Where has Britain’s Funny gone? After years of non-stop hilarious hits like Fawlty Towers, Yes Minister, Mr. Bean, The Vicar of Dibley, Ab-Fab, Men Behaving Badly … is British comedy dead? How long is it since we’ve seen anything original and truly funny out of the U.K.? Ali G and Little Britain were clever and […]

You’ve heard of plasma TV, LCD TV, LED and even OLED TV, but now we’re throwing a new term to mix into the salad bowl: laser TV. LG has one in Australia now, and it’s freaking enormous and just as impressive. The product’s full name is the LG Laser DLP Display. Essentially, it uses technology […]

The video linked below is nostalgic, surreal, and fascinating. The quality of such an old piece of work is simply amazing. http://vimeo.com/7638752

Aston Martin is celebrating its centenary in world-class style with the debut today (19 May) of the exceptional CC100 Speedster Concept. Created as a stunning celebration of the great British brand’s 100 years of sports car excellence the one-off CC100 looks both to the past and the DBR1 – Aston Martin’s greatest sporting triumph on […]

Another experience to remember, but for all the wrong reasons. The food was OK, but not up to  the standards of many other Indian Restaurants around Adelaide. The service, however, really lets  them down. Entrees hit the table at the same time as main  courses.  Serves were definitely on the generous side (except for Rice, […]

I’ve not been very adventurous when it came to shaving my face. I tried safety razors, but ended up looking like somebody trying to take the piss out Norman Gunston. An electric shaver was somewhat less painful and more dignified, and the Phillishave I received from my folks for my 21st served me very well […]

Fact or fiction (a la Dick Tracy, for you older ones).

No. It’s an insect spy drone for urban areas, already in production, funded by the US Government. It can be remotely controlled and is equipped with a camera and a microphone. It can […]

I’ve been playing with entry level video surveillance systems for a while now, and recently decided to splash out on a new piece of hardware.. It manages up to 32 cameras (16 Analog, 16 Digital), and 32TB of Hard Drive.. This thing is absolutely amazing 🙂 [pe2-image src=”http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8ubcOMOtMzw/UX-e5YZSUoI/AAAAAAAAaZg/cKnlRVOD7Vc/s144-c-o/1367221192440.jpg” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/116730948297768793432/Blog#5872587147752657538″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”1367221192440.jpg” ] [pe2-image src=”http://lh4.ggpht.com/-VmMg8VW04h0/UX-e7AiQ4vI/AAAAAAAAaZo/TAwGppqS5eA/s144-c-o/1367221226082.jpg” […]

Men’s shirts have the buttons on the right, but women’s blouses have the buttons on the left. This is more than just a way to tell whether a shirt is for men or women. There is a historical reason for it. During the Victorian period, buttons were quite expensive, and were mostly worn by rich […]

I can’t believe this isn’t built into every car! What happened?

Thought we’d try an old favourite tonight, the Links Hotel on Tapleys Hill Road. They’ve recently made a bunch of changes, and specialise in Schnitzels. The menu looked not too bad at all. If they can figure out how to cook them without drying them out and burning the crap out of them they might […]

We had a fantastic walk on the beach today. The pups were really good, hardly pissed anyone off 🙂 They must have enjoyed themselves, as I had to bathe them both when we got back, they were disgusting! And they even behaved perfectly in the Bath!
