Macro magic! Just playing, but this could become fun! smile

Re: previous Q. OK, so the #floodlevy is for infrastructure rebuilding? Slightly more palatable as long as it really gets spent on that!

Thursday 27 January 2011

Disastrous as QLD floods were, those who are insured shouldn't need #floodlevy so who is it for? Those who didn't pay premiums? Hardly fair!

Thursday 27 January 2011

More dragonfly pictures. This one's looking a little blue wink Still from the phone. Must bring that real camera in!

Some, erm, interesting magazines in Rotorua airport: 'Hooked on Boars' & 'Pig Hunter' Nice cover shots, eh?

Tuesday 11 January 2011

Sadly my smartphone has been too dumb away from the hotel WiFi this break. Telcos need to sort out their prohibitive data roaming charges!

Sunday 9 January 2011

If this is meant to be a bike riding holiday, how come we just walked over 16km?! Nice little stroll, but the bike will be back tomorrow smile

Saturday 8 January 2011

Have procured some opiates... oooooh... that feels better wink

Wednesday 5 January 2011

Watching the cricket, Aussies don't have much to be proud of. Interview with Gillard, devoid of charisma, intellect & class hasn't helped!

Monday 3 January 2011

Another 30km in Redwoods this morning. Climb up to Corners is still a killer, esp. when you're outta shape. Sofa, TV, Ashes for rest of day!

Sunday 2 January 2011

Riding Rotorua. Been so long off the bike easing in _very_ gently. 1hr yesterday, 2hr today. Up to 10hr on the day before we leave? wink

Friday 31 December 2010

Can't take the suspense any longer! Oh, wait, yes I can. There will be pops & bangs & lights & stuff. Ohhs & aaahs. Pffft, time for a nap wink

Friday 31 December 2010

Watching Warren Miller's 'Cold Fusion' Can tell it's old school when the pros are on the same skis I have under the bed wink Great stuff still

Thursday 30 December 2010

How nice are my neighbours? Got a ride into town to meet these reprobates tonight. Had a great time in the Lord Nelson smile

Wednesday 29 December 2010

Adventures in DIY flash diffusers. This one is the bottom of a liquid soap bottle. Works-ish aside from the tint.

Wednesday 29 December 2010

Latest spam attempt on a forum I mod: on getting the "This looks like spam" warning the poster replaced it with, "Sorry" How polite! LOL grin

Tuesday 28 December 2010

@sparkyweston fact or fiction?

Friday 17 December 2010

Why is there part of a train engine in my house? Ooops! http://www.overclockers.com.au/n...

Thursday 16 December 2010

Phew! Making 'holiday' bookings is hard work. I need a 'holiday' after this for sure! Only 6 more nights of the you-know-what to sort out smile

Thursday 16 December 2010

Wednesday 15 December 2010

On the trainer, but clearly not trying hard enough wink

Wednesday 15 December 2010

Just for fun... Here's a similar shot of the water lilies from my phone. Just to compare with the DSLR from last week.

Tuesday 14 December 2010

WTF is with this Android @rsebook app? Is it doing blocking I/O or something? Is it single threaded? Sure feels that way! @rsebook indeed!

Tuesday 14 December 2010

Legs are feeling this evening's weights session. As they should! Back almost feels right. About bl00dy time!
