In an effort to be independent from whatever ISP I happen to be using, my website is now hosted on the Google Sites servers. Here is the URL. I guess I am now tied to Google (what with email, Blogger and now Google Sites). At least Flickr is separate…
The old Optus webpage will be removed and redirect to this one shortly.
From This Day in Music, the number 1 song in Australia on the day I was born was:
Crazy Little Thing Called Love – Queen
A (somewhat belated) Happy New Year to all!
I finished the season with 120 correct tips and won the company competition!
You are ranked 179 out of 30,766 tippers in the 2007 AFL home and away season.
The competition was hosted on the Fox Footy Tipping website.
(120 / (22 rounds x 8 games per round)) x 100 = 68% success rate!
I was spending a lot of time working up north (away from home) so I decided to take two weeks off. Spent last week travelling the south-west of WA (staying at Wagin with family and at Cheynes Beach Caravan Park). This week will be spent sorting out things at home and doing some coding (for both my masters and the RetroChallenge).
Olivia has started crawling (well sort of) and is much more vocal and animated. Cameron had a great time down south and can now climb ladders (with ease) and loves slides. He also likes puddles (we bought him some gumboots while we were away). Kylie and I enjoyed the time away (although it was very cold). I will post more updates later (photos and bird lists – Cheynes Beach was great again – I heard the Noisy Scrub-bird finally!).
Two books from eBay arrived while we were away – Volumes I and II of the Macintosh C Programming Primer. Both are great books that outline how to program ToolBox based software for the Mac using Think C. Should be fun.
Bought a handheld GPS while we were away – a Magellan eXplorist 300 – haven’t used it a lot yet but planning to. It has a temperature sensor, a digital compass (seperate from the GPS), a barometer and an altimeter. It will come in handy on birding trips.
I have spent way too much time on site…
I can’t believe it is June already. So much of the year has gone past and I feel like so little has been accomplished. Here are a few highlights of the year so far:
Here are a few highlights “planned” for the rest of the year:
Things that have been occupying my time of late:
Happy New Year everyone!
Our daughter, Olivia Louise, was born 27/09/2006.
