    Earlier the Snook saved a skink in the house from the cats with his bare hands. Now he’s soldering my laptop plug. MANLY SNOOK FTW. PHWOAR.


    #tenyearsago I was in Indiana for a visit, but thinking of an Australian boy back in London. The start of a great adventure.

    Wicked headache. Unable of moving from the couch.


    I figured out the headache. Snook had to work today, and he left before he could make me a coffee. Caffeine withdrawal.


    @mrs_sockvictim I just counted. Fourteen! That’s what I get for knitting these big jumpers.


    Just waiting for the taxi to whisk us off to @mrs_sockvictim’s for dinner. Is it just me, or did Sydney suddenly get unbearably hot today?


    Pouring the first of the champagne cocktails! http://twitpic.com/w0454


    The band is playing “Lust for Life.” @mrs_sockvictim is the hardest working singer in show business. http://twitpic.com/w0ejd


    Oh ffs. Channel 9 are interviewing the Chk Chk Boom wanker.


    HAPPY NEW YEAR! We’re listening to the Harbour fireworks and watching on TV. Bring on 2010!


    Best wishes for 2010 from me and the Snook! http://twitpic.com/w0trt

    Heading off to Fiona Donovan’s for dinner to ring in the New Year. Pork and sauerkraut and other auspicious foods are on the menu. Happy NYE, everybody!

    Facebook just gave me a new friend suggestion. IT’S MY GRANDPA HARTER.


    @drkknits Heh. Several of us were watching it in the break room. I was hoping for that hat trick; I’ve never seen one before.


    I have officially sent in my Easter Show entry form. Class 0119: Red Cabled St. Brigid Jumper; and Class 0202: Albert the Magic Pudding.


  • The Cost of Care

    The Cost of Care. Really effective graph showing various countries’ health care spending vs. life expectancy. Be sure to click to enlarge the graphic, and pay particular note to the way it uses colour too. (Am I reading that right? Australia has the 3rd highest life expectancy after Japan and Switzerland? Sweet!) Link courtesy of kottke.

    PUKE. OsCommerce hackers can go jump off a cliff.


    Hack appears to be fixed. Luckily the site didn’t have anything worth stealing, but it still sucks to get done.


    @ozgamer Thanks. I feel horrible though. Snook keeps telling me it’s not my fault, which helps.


    Beer. Pizza. “World of Goo” on WiiWare. Life is much better thanks to my best friend.


    @jannism We got stuck on the one with the balloons and the giant frog thing. Your kids probably kicked our ass.

  • Chow Mein

    Remember when I discovered Australian “chow mein”? The SBS Food site has a blog post speculating on its origins. It really is an Australian classic. (And judging by M-H’s comment on my original post, New Zealand knew about it as well.)
