I’m writing this from home! For the first time in a long time, I’m not using sneaky coffee breaks and lunchtimes to tap words.
Its kinda nice. We bought a wireless broadband unit. Well, its not really broadband – since Tasmania’s network isn’t fully updated yet. However – right now, its great for us. We don’t [...]
A blatant ripoff in both theme and content from a recently released tune by the Herd – but all the same, a great way to start a new post.
Tasmanian politics entered a new era last week with the resignation of the premier, Paul Lennon. To all of us, both new, temporary and old tasmanians who [...]
Its nearly the end of April and I have been slack at updating things again. Trying to escape the facebook plague and get back into this little baby of my own. Sheesh.
That, and I’ve been busy working and lacking a home internet connection. So – what’s going on? A bit more marathon mountain biking – [...]
Ah back to the desk I am. Its OK, the tedious stuff always has good results, and thats what I’m paid for. But you all know about working…
The last couple of weeks were filled with a whirlwind trip around Victoria, visiting Bel’s family and my brother. And catching trout in the Mitta river, and [...]
As usual, its been almost a month since I last looked in here! Well, you can rest assured I still think about this site a bit, and have even started extracting content from the old overcomplicated beast in order to reload it all.
I digress. Yesterday I rode my mountain bike 100km, along with around 200 [...]

I’ve actually been back on Terra Firma for some time now, a few days short of a month! Crikey time flies. So you can see what I got up to on the ship at the SIPEX voyage website, if you navigate to ‘blogs’ and look for my entry there.
So, what have I been up to? [...]
Finally, I registered to vote today. Phew, and about time. I’m very keen to cast my vote in the upcoming federal election, due sometime later this year. Australia is in a political shemozzle – there is a distinct lack of checks and balances, and a distinct feeling that we as a people are being [...]
welly well well… this week has been like christmas! I’ve put together a new bike – DMR switchback frame with a whole pile of hand-picked funky bits. First ride just an hour ago has made mountain biking a whole new level of fun again!
Also, a new camera arrived so I’ve been trying to figure out [...]
Its 28 days until I jump on a ship with a load of other science geeks and sail to the deep frozen South! The cruise web site has been launched, so you can follow the journey when it starts. Most things are sort of packed and organised, my new camera is shipping next week, so [...]
