As per my brothers request, DON’T LOOK AT HIM. Look at the rolled up stuff in the field we drove past. Every one had a different smiley (or frowning) face. Completely Epic.
Apparently this was just in the news. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,,26258646-2,00.html See what happens when you are stuck at home working all the time (or driving and paying too much attention to the road).
As per my old blog, this picture was created by me under the watchful eye of Karl Short as a learning experience for Adobe Illustrator. After all was complete, I still don’t have any creative talents whatsoever. So make sure you don’t ask me to make you one. Having said that, it’s still an awesome picture!
While everyone has undoubtedly seen this image hundreds of times, it is still extremely accurate, well humoured and sadly true. And everyone loves a little chuckle, even if it is a repeated chuckle.

So here’s new windows 7 – semi-excited and thankful it was a give away from Microsoft. While I doubt I would have made the jump from Vista to Windows 7 simply because “it’s here”, here’s something I’ve noted while getting set up.
The “Desktop Icon Settings”, or “Desktop Items” (as known in XP) is still present in the system nearly unchanged. Thinking back (and it hurts) I’m fairly sure that windows 98 and 95 even had similar setups.
I’m referring to having a new interface for the control panel in a brand new OS, and yet when you click on to change desktop icons – look out a flashback of a really old interface hits you in the face.
Not upset or bitching about it, just thought it interesting enough to share.
While it continues to worsen slightly, here’s some photos I took about an hour ago. Quite a strange occurrence for the coast here. In my 15 odd years of living here, I can’t ever recall a day where this has happened.
Appologise for the lack of an “internet”ish post. Been busy at present. Make sure you click on those images for a bigger view.
Cheers
What better suited for a start to a new blog than a “Hello World”. Finally setup my fourth screen today, having two or more remote desktops open was really taking it’s toll on my keyboard with all the ALT-Tabbing I was doing, shifting through webpages – opened documentation notes and the like. So to celebrate I’ve given myself a new wall paper. Hopefully the guys in IRC won’t be nearly as nasty about this one because it “spans” and is not simply the same picture four times across the screens.
