A short while ago, I posted about my frustration with imrworldwide.com, a site that seemed to be slowing my browsing experience.
After a little investigation, I realised that this was no more than a market research company’s “spyware”, javascripts that serve no purpose other than to track and report on my movements. They certainly don’t add [...]

I’ve saved the best ’til last. Remember the days before mp3s?… how about CDs? yes, who had a great collection of vinyl? Who’s still got one? Well, I don’t. I got rid of most of my collection long ago, but there are a few faves hanging around in the cupboard and one day I plan [...]

I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets frustrated by slow loading web pages. I don’t mean the consistently slow ones from low budget sites, but pages that load quickly for a bit, then practically stop for a while – sometimes a looong while!, then maybe resume and finish. Pages from prominent, high budget [...]

The debate is raging again about attacks on Indian Students in Australia. Are Australians racist? Obviously, the answer is yes and no. I don’t profess any expertise in this area, but there is nothing clear cut about it.
I am appalled by the level of street violence that occurs in my city – desperate, savage and [...]

What are they thinking? The libs have effectively just effectively voted against the ETS by electing the rabid Tony Abbott as their leader. If the government goes to an election on this, all indications are that there will be about half a dozen libs left in parliament – and probably no nats!
You’d think I’d be [...]

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 [...]

Been an interesting few weeks. On September 4, I went in for minor knee surgery – should have been a few days of discomfort and then a few weeks of steady recovery and I’d be back, better than ever… well, that was the idea. Don’t know what went wrong, but it involved lots of swelling [...]

I have mentioned before now that I’m a bit of a weather nerd – like to think I know what’s going on. So when I asked the question earlier last year about our changing weather patterns, I was already pretty sure I knew the answer. Things have changed.
Sadly, it seems that I am not alone [...]

So, come on Google – mark it as spam!
Does that screengrab look like spam to you? Sure looks like spam to me, and I’ve been dutifully marking dozens like it as spam each day for weeks, but still they arrive. Come on google, how hard can they be to spot?
One of my favourite blogs ever has just been discontinued due to management interference.
Bah, humbug!
