Righto, Forgot to say last night that we went to see the Quiet American, it wasn't great, it was a bit crap, it could and should have been a LOT better, cool story. For every English person who bitched at me about the number of antipodeans that worked in bars and pubs etc, there seems to be a proportionate number of English people working in the serving industry here, in fact I think we have only heard about 6 Australians since we got here. We have just got back from buying Emma some new geek toys, and she is now the proud owner of a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.

Wahoo wahoo, Rich T has played cave on a 7210, and says it plays fine and the logo works, wahoo wahoo. Have I mentioned that I have started reading a lot about oracle and clustering, because here is another one.

Articles I am currently reading Oracle and clustering, I haven't read it all, but it looks as though they had the same ideas as we did, but a bit more time and money :D.

Yet another Java XML binding tool , looks as thought it maybe ok, of course I don't have a god damn computer to download it onto and have a play, but there we go. I've also just started reading this, It's a good interview, worth the time if it's what you are into.

We went to watch the Chinese New Year parade in the center of town today, it was really great, amazing dragons and a relaxed atmosphere. After the parade went past us we followed it down into Chinatown and ended up at the Chinese gardens next to Darling Harbour, where there was an amazing dragon display with cracker at the end, was very cool, the dragon guys are very fit. After the display we went for a wander through the gardens, they are brillant built 2 waterfalls, loads of fish, birds and even a couple of lizards, really relaxing. Also stopped off for lunch in there tea rooms and had Dim Sum, yummy yummy. We were walked back via the rocks, so we could have a look at the market and had just stopped for a beer when Dad called to say hello, and he told me about this. Apart from the lose to the families I wonder how many years it will put back the space program. Instead of bombing Iraq maybe Bush should move all that new found money to space. Oh well, not a happy day after that. Popped into our local cafe ( Hot Gossip) for a quick snack on the way home, as per usual very yummy. Buggered now so I'm gunna go to sleep.

Ummm ok, this is funny, thank you /.. Went to the Cafe round the corner from us for breakfast this morning for another yummy big breakfast, ok we don't get the breakfast we get toast, but still, we are build up to a breakfast. Ahhhh back in a land where a cafe isn't a chain, serves good food and coffee. Went over to Manly in the afternoon lay on the beach, then went to the New Brighton Hotel for a couple of beers before meeting up with Vinney and Zoe for a Few more beers ( and a drunken call to Neela so she could hear dimitri playing ) and then some yummy food at a resturant all Out of Africa, most yum.
