Having kicked off a mac vs. pc flame war on work’s IT mailing list this morning, I was delighted to see the following irony play out on screen. As the good folk debated the weight of downloads and updates, Microsoft AutoUpdate launched and proceeded to tell me I needed 150Mb. of sealing wax to plug [...]

For me, one of the high points of Australian television entertainment was The Games, and one of the high points of that series was episode 4, series 1, Robbo and the 100 metres. Even reading the script cracks me up (the particular scene starts around page 5), but at the risk of providing a spoiler [...]

… but what are all those cars doing on it?
According to Google Maps ‘blue outlined streets’ have Street View, so I was surprised to see that they must have left the car behind one day and hopped on a bicycle, because the Moonee Ponds Creek bicycle trail was outlined in blue just near my house. [...]

One of the fascinating things about Google’s Street View coverage of Australia is the amazingly out of the way places they got to. I love this aspect – dirt roads that wind along in the back blocks of the never never.
Anyway, I was panning around the Gulf Country of far north Queensland when I noticed [...]
Got a laugh out of this one:

…thanks ta!
I suppose the Moreland Leader is under resourced like so many organisations are these days, so between the cleaner and the work experience guy who answers the phones, they have to get a lot done to get an issue out the door.
Not surprising then, that little things go astray, like this beautifully edited page [...]
