One of my friends sent me a story head had read on the The Daily WTF WWW site… A programmer wrote code that said ‘Start Database; Wait 1000000000 Seconds; Stop Database’. Unfortunately the wait translated into ‘wait until 1 billion …
OziExplorer… Normally I love OziExplorer. Unfortunately it is infuriating at times. I have probably spent the last half hour searching for a ‘BUG’ that does not actually exist. In OziExplorer you can creat a waypoint which is a point on …
Pipe Networks had some major power supply issues last night… Because of this many westnet connections, of which I have two (one in albury), went off line a couple of times during the night. Unfortunately the Albury one refused to …

I have just got home from my brothers birthday party – and as usual it was a fun night… A few regulars were unable to attent which was disapponting, but apart from that things were good. I installed his wine …
