Woman has something growing inside her

Doctors are watching with interest an Australian woman, who seems to undergoing an amazing transformation.

Tracy English (don't let her name fool you, she really is Australian) seems to have a smaller version of herself growing inside her. The amazing discovery was made by doctors at the Grafton Base Hospital in October this year.  The startling find has had tongues wagging around the family of the couple since Mrs English started feeling strange.more >

Grafton Web Design

I've been doing web design in Grafton for 2 years now, and I am starting to realise just how diverse the client base is. I've done websites for people who don't have a computer, and for businesses that have all their internal machines using the website constantly. There are some who have the knowledge to do it themselves if they had the time, and those who didn't know what the address bar is in their browser, and use their default home page's search facility to find everything. Where I usually target the kinds of client who need their website to actually do something (like content management, stock control, and searchable items) I am increasingly being sought out by people wanting 'just the basics'. You know, a logo, a bit of a spiel and some pictures. It's not my usual gig but I'm starting to realise how much less stress there is associated with this kind of website. The brief rarely changes from the original halfway through development, for example. More complex jobs, my usual gig, tend to have quickly moving goalposts!

Youtube Bwahahah

I just know mum is going to love this.


By the way I apologise for all older posts having no (or limited) formatting, like paragraphs etc. This was a side-effect of the way I migrated from wordpress.

New website

Well the new ITRiver website is up and running. It uses my new CMS and enables me to manage it more easily. I'm thinking about having a new blog attached to it but I'm not sure yet if I want to. I just havent had time for a blog lately!more >

CeBit done and dusted!

Well its been a big week. Yes I know I have largely ignored my own blog for a while. I finally have some time and the inclination to make a post, and tidy it up a little. There's just been too much else to do! For example, this week I flew to Sydney for a look at the CeBit exhibition at Darling Harbour. For me it was a little bit of a letdown as far as exhibitions go. Not enough competitions and freebies! I wanted to win something gosh darn it! Plus, I didnt see any really interesting 'geeky' stuff. Lots of great products, but nothing that really captured my imagination. Some highlights of the trip were:

• Seeing the Altech boys try and overclock a 3.16Ghz Core2Duo processor to 5.3Ghz, only to see them fail miserably when the preinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate refused to boot. They had dry ice, even liquid nitrogen there to cool the CPU (which they did) but since it wouldnt boot beforehand anyway, i was wondering why they bothered... I desperately wanted to hand them an Ubuntu live CD to try, but didnt have one...
• Staying with Paul & Carly
• The very strange bathroom in the wicked nightclub we went to in The Rocks (the Argyle?)
• Leaving Sydney (I'm not a fan of the place)
