Yup, we're engaged.

I just had a third coffee. And after 12.

I'd steer clear of me until tomorrow...

Hey, anyone who surfs/swims outside the flags on Silicon Beach needs to get to:

Bar Camp Sydney

Bar Camp is an ad hoc gathering of technology developers of all kinds. It’s not a conference, seminar or workshop. It’s just a ‘get everyone in the same area and see what happens’.

Some more things;
@ It’s Free (nice sponsors welcome).
@ It’s Fun
@ You might learn something.
@ You might meet someone
@ You will be amongst friends.
@ If you have something to say, you can say it here.

So, go for it, click through and sign up. And tell you’re friends.

P.S. If you want to sponsor, let me know asap.

I upgraded my internet account package yesterday due to increased demand (ahem). They sent me an email saying "Thanks, that will be $19 admin fee."

So I emailed back;

$19 admin fee. You guys have got to be kidding. I'm blogging about it.

Here is the Muppets.

I saw Hogans Heroes on there. Does anyone else other then me think that Hogans Heroes is really really bad propaganda. American handsome man outwits the completely incompetent Germans (who speak English) and always get's the girl too. And it's a comedy pretty much. Imagine if we saw a German show like that? Or a Russian show?

And if it is, what is the Australian equivalent?

Get Photographed on Google Maps

Nashy sent me this link about getting your pic on the Google Maps on Australia Day. Anyone keen to go to the Domain and pull a stunt?

Q: How detailed will the photos be?

A: More detailed than they are right now:

Please Weight

Recently I have received many comments/compliments about losing lots of weight. Honestly, I lost about 5 kilos in 2005 when I came back and have been about 80kgs ever since. I think it's more that I have (finally) thrown out my old, larger clothes and are now wearing mostly medium (and sometimes small) clothes, so maybe it's fit? Or maybe it's riding to work? Don't know.

Anyway, here are some photos of me through the ages.

Notice the change?

Interesting discussion AND I get to see more pictures of myself...........

Now where is that cream bun...........

Symphony in the Domain

Great night on Saturday with the Symphony. Lots of fun, music and olives.

More Pics From Pete

Interestingly they had 3 times as many toilets for girls as for boys and the line up at each was about even, although boys was moving faster (no hand washing...).

They had a talent contest and a guy did interpretative dance. I don't get it. What was he interpreting? Foreign policy?

And they had a 'feedback survey' which was pretty much one of the sponsors asking whether you thought it was worthwhile them sponsoring it. I know why they did it, it was just funny.

Opera is on next week which I'd like to see but alas, will either be camping or romantically dining.

I lent my West Wing Season 2 to someone last year around the soccer world cup and now I can't find it.

Anyone?
