Category: Mental Notes

MELBOURNE–As Blogger FTP that I harnessed in 2001 is phased out, time for a change as baby tips its wee cap. Mental Notes will go WP shortly. You won’t notice, but it’s like a little bit dies for this nerd.

MELBOURNE–Madame Foo has hopefully finished the nesting phase with a fab new wall print of our Queen in a gas mask, a new bonsai that I’ve dubbed ‘cankle’, and heaps of Ikea blah blah. Only choice now is names. Mmmm, if girl Brittany, if boy Murphy.

MELBOURNE–Just a quick one… I believe this wedding photo is just damn fabulous. Check y’self, where’s Wally in this.

MELBOURNE–Okay, enough self loathing. Fixed programming ‘flog‘ stuff I was whining about on this site. Having a real hoot of a time making Perl and PHP chat amiably on yournewsagency. Enough geek, carry on.

MELBOURNE–For penance I’m going to leave this message here at the top of my trusty ‘ol website for the sin of not fixing that damn error on Flog which fails to show keyword-driven Amazon results. Procrastination begone!

MELBOURNE–It’s a wonderous false spring here in Melbs. The tyres are pumped on my cycle, set for self transport. It’s all cold and clear. And Mr and Mrs C are rubbing a little bump all a-ga, which is hilarious. Happy times.

MELBOURNE–Been back a few weeks in M-town. Back at work on Pacific Beat AM edition 5-7am AEST. Haven’t stepped on, or even laid, a landmine thusfar. Same contacts.

BRISBANE–RIP Cedric Inman Comer, wife of Pat, father of Andrew, Martin and my wife Sue. Top guy. Here he is, making sure I was aware of the situation at our wedding last year.

MELBOURNE–Travel ahoy. In Brisbane 18-25 August, then Perth 26 August-3 September, on same numbers and email.

FULL TRANSCRIPT–ABC’s Mark Scott presentation at PINA conference ‘Relationships and Role of Development Partners – Friends or Neo-Colonialists, or Pacific Partner Pacific Friend: ABC International’. I’ve added this to read at some point.
