..unfortunately they never seem to live long enough. I'm in a little depressed mood that we have just finished our fourth and last public holiday of late, which made for four fantastic four-day working-weeks in a row.

I had a pretty good weekend; did the usual washing and cleaning on Saturday, went to Church Saturday night. We went to Pancake Parlour at the old Church in the city for dinner (Andrew somehow negotiated his way out of us all going to Sizzler, which he dislikes for some strange reason) to see off a few people who are going away. Wasn't … Read more →

It's been an interesting few days in terms of this website. People may be wondering on why they're unable to post comments on this blog at the moment. About two nights ago the server that my website is hosted on came under a DOS (Denial of Service) Attack.

In order to respond to this attack, part of the counter-measures used involved disabling all the non-essential items on the server. This involved disabling the stuff used to generate the verification code image needed to enter comments.

I am aware of the irony of me implementing image verification to stop spammers, whilst … Read more →

I got up really early today (around 5am) to watch the second leg of Arsenal's semi-final Champions League tie against Spanish side Villareal.

Arsenal played terribly: from the first minute they seamed content to sit back and defend their slim 1-0 from the first leg at Highbury. I really hate when they play like that: sitting really deep in their own half and letting the opposition attack them relentlessly. It's a dangerous game to play with only a 1-0 aggregate lead.

They luckily held on for most of the match until the last last minute, when, as usually happens, they … Read more →

I know it's about two days too late now, but ah well. 'Christ is Risen!' to everybody.

Come receive the light from the unwaning light, and glorify Christ, Who has risen from the dead

Holy Week was almost a blur, but it was a good one. As mentioned before it was a kind of strange one working full-time and also being married. But it was good in that we chose our timing on when to go to Church and not family, which meant that we actually got to most of the services on time, or before time in order to … Read more →

I think these few days before Easter have really taken it out of me. I'm exhausted. But as they say, it's always darkest before the dawn.

It seems my anti-spam stuff on this blog has worked, not one spam comment so far. I hope i'm not speaking to soon...

I've had a fairly good Holy Week so far, but it is a bit weird having to work during the day and then basically go straight to Church afterwards. I'm so used to having uni or school which gave me enough time to sort of relax and chill-out a bit before … Read more →

I promised a life-blog-entry, so here it is.

For the past week I had really been looking forward to the Aussie Easter weekend that we've just had. Up until this year i've never really appreciated these two public holidays. During school and uni the Aussie Easter weekend had always been a convenient time to catch up on assignments, essays, study and alike, so I never really saw it as anything to look forward to.

Working full-time this year, the two public holidays which create this wondrous 4-day weekend are an amazing opportunity to relax and catch your breath.

I, on … Read more →

For the first time in the 2+ year history of this blog, i've done a major redevelopment of the script that the blog runs off. Now when I say 'major redevelopment' I really mean total redevelopment. For the better part of the last week, i 've totally rebuilt this blog from the ground up (or really, the database up), with a new totally updated script. Please contact me if you notice any bugs, faults, etc.

I've really strived to have this new blog resemble the old one as much as possible, but the regular readers will notice a lot of … Read more →

Weekend's gone already, but i've had a busy and productive one. Yesterday I wiped my laptop and reinstalled Windows and all the other necessary programs. It went pretty much to plan which I am quite happy with.

I did a fair bit of planning to make sure I copied everything across to make it as hassle free as possible, and for the first time I used the Windows 'Files and Settings Transfer Wizard', which made re-setting a few things in Windows (such as appearance etc) a breeze.

One program I did leave out reinstalling was Konfabulator (now 'Yahoo! Widget Engine). … Read more →

After wiping Despina's computer two weeks ago, now it is my laptop's turn. It seems that it is getting a bit sluggish lately, and i've been wanting to start afresh for a while now but haven't had much time because of the wedding and all.

I've backed up most of the stuff onto Despina's computer and i'll probably spend most of tomorrow doing that.

The continued amount of comment spam on this blog has made up my mind on revamping it. Once I get my laptop properly setup, I plan to convert this blog over to a new script, which … Read more →

The weekend's gone again... *sigh*

Other than the now usual domesticating stuff, the highlight of my weekend would have to be the game of indoor football we played on Sunday.

The highlight was we actually won! w00t!!

People might be surprised at how ecstatic I am. It's mainly because we haven't won one single game since our grand-final loss against Jack's team all the way back in October. I haven't counted how many losses it's been (too depressing), but Wil assures me that it's been 12 straight losses for our team.

I scored a hatrick in the game, which … Read more →
