Shiver me timbers… arrr!
It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
You might ask, what’s th’ point? Ahoy! I’ll answer, why not?
Now, firstly, ye’ll need t’ find out yer correct pirate name.Get yer own pirate name from piratequiz.com.
I’m not gonna comment on th’ name I were bein’ given, except t’ say that I shower at LEAST once per […]International Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming!
Aye, International Talk Like A Pirate Day is comin’ up on September 19.
Again, th’ developers o’ Wordpress Plugins (who, now have proven they CLEARLY have too much time on their hands) have developed a “Talk Like A Pirate” text filter plugin, where ye can have yer whole blog converted into pirate speak, or just individual […]The Aussie icons are dropping like flies!
Millions of mullet hairstyle-wearing, flannelette (plaid) shirt-clad Aussies are crying into their beers tonight as another icon died today.
Peter Brock, legendary V8 touring car driver, wiped himself out during the Targa West rally in Western Australia when he lost it on a hairpin and slammed into a tree.
Now, it’s well known that I am […]Crikey! Bugger.
I’m sure you know of whom I speak.
Multiple-year Darwin Award candidate, Steve Irwin, stretched the envelope until it tore today and died from a Stingray barb to the chest.
If you were shocked, the big question is.. WHY? Well, I suppose you could be shocked that a stingray got him and not a croc, but […]gosh, the South Coast looked gorgeous this weekend
*sigh* I WISH I lived there.
Spring has certainly sprung down the South Coast. The wattles are blooming like crazy, the weather has warmed up, the air is flower scented and it sucks to be a city-dweller.
I tell you, as soon as a suitable job comes up down there I am SO out of here. Trouble […]DON’T put your credit card number in a random email link dammit!

Oh, and just in case:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia“In computing, phishing is a […]
The reason I’m a slack blogger…
…is that clearly that I have no life.
Since I’ve posted last, I’ve spent my time:working
cleaning
cutting up godamn HUGE speaker and subwoofer boxes to small pieces so I can fit them in the garbage
listening to said speakers and subwoofers, much to my neighbours’ chagrin
getting stuck into the new series of Australian Idol (omg, there are some […]Hotlinking is baaaad m’kay?
Clearly, the dickwads using MySpace to blog were discouraged by Bio’s rather nasty (but oh so funny!) image replacement when they hotlinked, so decided that the sexyoldwoman.jpg on my server was a better target.
So, after some .htaccess rewrite rule fun, the aforementioned dickwads now get the image below when they directly link to images on […]An orgasm in my ears
If I don’t blog for a few days, it’s because I am cozied up to my speakers, gently stroking their veneer and whispering “prreeecioussssssss, my prrrrreeeciousssssss”.
I decided to go into a state of denial about living in an apartment, and after hooking and fiddling with metres of speaker wire (oh. my. god. they make that […]The one where I cook dinner, eat and wash the dishes while my page loads..
My page is taking a fearful long time to load for me and I suspect it is a routing issue at my ISP, but, just to be sure, I am asking you to “come out of the closet” so to speak, and let me know how long it’s taking. Don’t worry, I’m not going to […]
