So yesterday Ben and Michelle had a little baby girl named Lucy Robyn - nice. Well done guys.

And I send Ben a congrats message this morning.

'Congrats mate. Well done. Nice work. Glad everyone is well. Let me know when we wet the head."

Two minutes later I get a text message. "Probably Ben with an invite to beer..."

NO!!!!!!!! BZZZZZZZZZZZ WRONG!!!!

It's June saying she's had a little baby boy named Charlie. Wowzers. Wowzers Wowzers.

Sydney does have a water problem. It's producing babies. Many of them. Nate had one last month. And more coming... John, Emily S...

So Many Babies!

I'm off for a coffee and cold shower.

Who Likes Dress Up?

KC had a Christmas party and the theme was Sahara. I said she should go as a malnutrioned child with tsetse flies buzzing around. She decided to go in with the girls at work and be Cleopatra and just whacked me around the head for my silly ideas as usual...

We used to have dress up parties at Gwithian. Or semi-dress up. I like them as long as you don't have to go all out.

Kathey's Halloween parties were the exception. Everyone knew that Kathey and Russell would go nuts, so everyone else had to go nuts too. Remember June as the rock star? Classic.

Found this quote this morning, what do you think it means?


"He wrapped himself in quotations- as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors."

Rudyard Kipling

Reminds me of another quote;

"Cliches are a dime a dozen."

Bernard Howes.

Known Issues (with my Mac);
* Not enough memory. Hmm. I thought 1gb would be plenty. James, my Mac man, says "Nope, I got 2gb in mine. Mac's love memory". OK, off to Upgrade City for me.
* Squeaky Spacebar - I've read about this on some other blogs. It's not all the time, but it is right now.
* No Maximise - why can't you maximise a window? I'm often clicking on the wrong thing.
* Moving between screens - alt-tab works well, and in firefox you can control tab between tabs, but in other apps if you have more then one file open you have to go to window...
* File manager - the columns are too short for my filenames.
* Entourage - It's Outlook for Mac. Many little things frustrating me. Plus Mac doesn't want to synch anything but iCal and Address Book. :-(

Cool Stuff;
* Quicksilver is cool, but I'm just learning to use it.
* Photobooth is hanging on as a fun gimmick.

Mick's Big Interview

I was at a tech seminar recently and some people were doing interviews. Me being shy of course didn't want to do one.

They made me. That's why it's a bit quiet...
