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 →

Now about ten weeks after breaking my foot, I went back to get X-Rays this morning to see if the break had healed. Unfortunately it hasn't: there is still the little piece of the base of my 5th metatarsal in my left foot floating around in there.

I will be going to the doctor on Friday to see what my options are, but in the meantime I still have to be wearing the spaceboot. What makes it even more frustrating is that the foot feels fine, I have no pain in it at all any more. I'm hoping I can … Read more →

Still extremely busy in my world. I am still currently wading through all the red-tape I have to get through to settle the unit me and Despina are buying, but that is all fun-and-games that doesn't really need to be mentioned here.

In the news recently, is the Australian Federal Court ruling that the record companies won their case against the makers of the file-sharing program, Kazaa (the case was in Australia because the makers of Kazaa are based here). This totally baffles me for a few reasons: A file sharing program like Kazaa has a wholly legitimate purpose to … Read more →

I haven't blogged in a week, but this time I think that I have good reason to. It has been a very busy and very strange week, but most predominantly of all, Despina and I have finally bought a place to live once we get married.

We eventually bought a unit in Morningside, after earlier making an offer for a place in Norman Park which we subsequently retracted. Of course all this house-hunting and offer making chewed up a lot of time, as nearly all of it was done outside of business hours. I am quite glad to have the … Read more →

I've had a semi-eventful weekend the past few days. As has been the pattern recently, on Saturday we spent almost the whole day looking for a place to live. I've got to say that it is really starting to wear thin.

After Church on Saturday night we went to a Trivia night that the CYB (Cypriot Youth of Brisbane) were hosting at Cyprus House (or the West End Club as it is now known). I really enjoyed it, except for our table (which Andrew and I autonomously named 'The Burninators') coming second by 3 points after leading the contest for … Read more →
