Just finished watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire and saw a 36 year old graphic artist win the million bucks, the first in Australia. Apparently a clairvoyant told him he was going to win a lot of money five years ago, maybe that's why he was so reckless answering the last two questions he didn't have much of an idea on. Very lucky.

This win was still not as good as the American guy a few years back who used his phone-a-friend lifeline on the million-dollar question to tell his dad: "Um, I don't really need your help, I … Read more →

Man am I loving this rain, and now the much cooler weather that has come along with it. This rain is what we desperately need here in Brisbane. For those who don't know, we have been going through a serious drought with dam water at critical levels, we are currently under stage 2 water restrictions.

Then again if we have solid rain for a while there could be flooding! hehe, be careful what you wish for i suppose.

Played indoor football this arvo, where we atrociously lost 6-0. We were all not really 100%, and through a combination of flat … Read more →

It seems as though Apple has released another iPod. I think this now makes 2 in the last three weeks. The new iPod replaces the previous Photo colour version of the iPod and now has video playback support. I don't see why they couldn't have enabled video playback in the now-older model with a firmware update as it did have a colour screen and all. I guess it's their way of making money...

Although the past week hasn't been that busy at work I haven't really had the time or energy to type out an entry in the last week, … Read more →

I finished off the working week without any major dramas on Friday. I can't really remember what we did on Friday night so it mustn't have been too eventful.

On Saturday we lazed around after sorting through some more unit-purchasing garbage. I can't wait until we can just forget about all that stuff. The inset photo is something I took on my phone on Saturday afternoon. I find it amazing how every now-and-then you get these spectacular displays of rays of sunshine shining through breaks in the clouds. It really stirs up the faith in you seeing the wonder of … Read more →

The image to the right is something that Michael did at work while experimenting with Photoshop CS2 vanishing points, which is quite a remarkable feature in the latest offering from Adobe. I thought it might be good to put it up here, i found it quite amusing.

Work this week has been kind of busy, as i've had to assume another person's role as well as my own for this week as he has gone on holidays. Plus the new water restrictions have come into place this week, which means using sprinklers is now banned, so tonight I spent over … Read more →

The title of this blog entry refers to me playing indoor football today, but more on that later, i've almost a whole week to blog.

For the rest of the working week since my last entry, nothing too exciting happened (that I can remember now). Friday night after work, me and Despina went into the city to do a little shopping. I haven't been in the city in such a long time, everything has changed. Firstly the new Queen's plaza has now opened, and they look to have for the most part finished the renovation of the Myer Centre. In … Read more →

I have had a look over my recent blog entries and have realised that comparing them to, say a year ago, that they have considerably declined in quality. For this, I apologise to my loyal readers, and will rectify this situation with this entry, which shall be a long and significantly better quality one. (Editors note: last paragraph done a little tongue-in-cheek)

Saturday night we went to Church, and as per the declaration last week, afterwards everyone went back to my place to have watch a movie. Got back to our place and ordered pizzas, and everybody eventually agreed to … Read more →

For the past few days I have been walking around like a 'normal' person! I have been wearing normal shoes, and my foot feels pretty good. Me and Despina even went for a protracted walk on Wednesday night in which I even did a little bit of a run, and although the foot hurt a little, it was mostly all good. I have even started driving the manual car again. My foot as whole is a little bit stiff and sore, but that is to be expected because of me basically not using it properly for the past three months.… Read more →

As mentioned previously, last week I went and got X-rays to see how my broken foot was going. Unfortunately it wasn't going to well: the fracture still has not healed.

I went back to my GP on Friday, who was now out of her league, consequently referred me to an orthopedic surgeon to see what to do about it. I went there today, and the Doctor told me that after this long, there was little chance that the fracture would heal. He also told me that because I currently have no pain in the foot, to try and get out … Read more →

Last night and today it has been extremely windy, and it kept me up for a little while last night, which sucked because it is the first time that I have had the opportunity to sleep without a set waking-up time. waaah

I have been still going through all the motions with getting everything done for buying the unit. I think I have basically signed my life away pretty much so far. With everything that I have signed so far, there has only been one document that we have needed a qualified person to witness us signing ( A qualified … Read more →
