Blog

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 →

Since we have gotten back from the honeymoon, we (or at least myself) have had to do something that I have never really done before: cook, clean, and wash for ourselves. I know this may be greeted by a collective shaking of heads from anyone who reads this blog, but prior to my wedding I had lived out the stereotypical ethnic (in particular, Greek) upbringing living at home.

I never really had to cook, let alone do the washing and ironing for myself, and cleaning everything outside my bedroom all by myself (with Despina of course) is a relatively new … Read more →

This week was pretty busy as usual, after work we have literally been out every single night this week for various reasons. This week I have also just finished a pretty significant hardware upgrade to Despina's very basic Dell Dimension 3000.

Among the improvements were boosting it up to 1GB of RAM, adding a 128MB graphics card (although it was only a PCI card, i didn't have much choice: the board didn't even have an AGP slot). I also got a DVD burner for it.

Now the machine's not too shabby at all if you discount the port the graphics … Read more →

Due to popular demand I have put up photos of the wedding and honeymoon.

Selected wedding photos can now be found in the Gallery. It is in Occasions, but as with some other albums it is 'Private'. Friends and/or family should already have the username and password needed to login to the Gallery and view the pictures. If you've forgotten the username and password, or think you should have it, please email me.

I have also updated the Honeymoon Entry from a few days ago to include some photos of our trip.

Proper blog entry coming soon.… Read more →

Tomorrow I go back to work after the wedding, after having come back from the honeymoon last Friday. Needless to say, the past week and a bit has been very very hectic.

Both me and Des have had to properly move out of out of our respective former homes, adjust to the time-zone, and move into our unit whilst simultaneously learning how to look after ourselves (i.e. cooking, cleaning, etc etc) for the very first time.

Like the wedding and honeymoon, the past week has also been a blur. I'll try to summarise at least the highlights.

When you … Read more →

We got back from the honeymoon on Friday, and this entry i'll devote solely to the honeymoon, and leave what's happened since Friday (a considerable amount to blog) for the next entry. Just in case anyone's wondering, I haven't blogged before today because today was the day our internet was finally connected to the unit, but more on that next entry.

Onto the Honeymoon: On the Tuesday after the wedding we flew out to the USA to go to Vegas and LA. We had to catch 3 consecutive planes to get to Vegas: Brisbane to Sydney, Sydney to LA, and … Read more →

Yesterday was the wedding! I'm now a married man! Woo-hoo!

I'll keep this short and sweet because we have a honeymoon to go off to, but i'll post a photo from the wedding below.

Apologies for the quality of it, it was taken on my phone in the car after the ceremony (I don't have my hands on any professional or semi-professional shots yet).

See everyone when we get back!… Read more →
