Incremental - going mad bit by bit.

Alcohol is a friend who starts out as a caring friend and about 3 am turns into a 6 foot 8 skin head who kicks the crap out of you.

Apple is coming to sydney, about time.

Since buying a car I've started listening to the radio again.
In an attempt to find a replacement for bfm I've been bouncing round the dial a little and I've found fbi and 2ser.
Both are great, as a substitute for the sunday jazz show, it turns out there is a wounder show on the ABC Classic FM on both days of the weekend - huzzah!

Adium version 1.0 has been released and amazingly it looks even more polished, which is just insane.

Take a highly polished thing, that you can't polish anymore, then, well polish it more, wonderful.

We went to Lost and Found Orchestra, well bloody ages ago. We both really liked it, I was somewhat unsure about it, but it was wonderful.

I brought Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion, 2nd Edition on Richard's recommendation. Have only had a quick flick at it but is looking like a great buy.

On the Richard book front, I finished Penny Arcade Volume 2: Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings! a present that turned up over Christmas, a great book.

I love Tycho and Gabe, I don't have anywhere near enough time to play games now - not because I'm all busy with work and to old for life, but because I'm disorganized.
Anyway, the book was great, interesting to see how there style has changed since 2001 and some of the thoughts behind the comics.

cool.

I've brought a car.
It's a very boring Holden Astra.
It's my first vehicle in over 8 years and first car in god knows how long - It's also the first car I've ever brought new and the first automatic I've ever brought.
I can also run it on ethanol, which is wonderful. If I run low on booze I can siphon the car or equally i can run it on vodka if I can get to a gas station.

We have been using Bill Granger's new book Everyday, well pretty much everyday for the last two weeks, its great.

It lovely and the recipes, so far, have been piss easy. My only concern is that Bill seems to be everywhere at the moment and I wonder if there will be a backlash against him, it would be a shame, his books are wonderful.

If you don't have it, you really should buy it.

Elephunk by the Black Eyed Peas, its pretty lack luster - this is why you can't resell electronically brought music.
Then again maybe it will get better with some more listening.

Greatest Hits Vol. 1 by Dragon, its downloading now so not really sure, it has the song I want so one would assume I'm going to enjoy it.

Watched Kenny last night, not at all what I expected, bloody good though and lots and lots of poo humour - excellent. - abc review.

How cool is this.

Well I've started reading again, we'll see how long it lasts this time before there is yet another pile of half finish books next to the bed and an ever growing collection of new books on the floor.

I've just finish Nick Hornby's The Complete Polysyllabic Spree, I liked it. Not least of all because he says and does things I do and agree with, such as, buying more books than you will every get round to reading and not reading books because they are literary, but because you enjoy them - nothing wrong with a bit of Dan Brown every now and then.

I've started Brave New World by Aldous Huxley on the plane home from Queensland. It was only an hour so not a lot of reading, rather a lot skipped though as the introduction seems to give an overview of the entire story.

So new year, had a few thoughts, one is too use blog more, now with the wonderful labels.

I wonder how many books you have to buy before a free
trip.

Found a review of
World's Fastest Indian

Oh god, I live in the same country as this woman and they want to be a credible opposition, but can't even unite one day after a leader change. Howard will be in until he can't walk or until either Labour or the greens get there shit together.

About bloody time,
really does make rather a lot of sense - *Sigh* wonder how long we have to wait.
Of course we can bring our mighty air force to any union -mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Just brought and watched the world's fastest indian, wonderful.

My lovely new mac is here and I have got used to the extra screen real estate disturbingly quickly. I've spent all day rebuilding the PowerBook, well a reinstall and applying updates and installing a few of the basics like growl, Adium and quicksilver.

My god the screen is small, sigh.

I need to sort out disk space, I only went for the 100 GB and I'm through two thirds of it already *sigh*.
