 Last Monday I flew to Melbourne for the day to attend a few meetings. David and John from work came with me. I woke at 3:30am and didn't get back home until 10pm. That's a day that is waaaay too long. The trip over was uneventful other than the fact that I flew with Qantas and they still serve food. I didn't know that! Melbourne cabs are disgusting. One of them looked great from outside, all new and stuff, but inside it was a disgrace. There was even a great big grease patch on the roof lining where the big guy that drove it rubbed his dirty hair. In between meetings we did a tour of T's new Intergration lab where they test all of the cool new stuff that's going into the new network, and the GOC where they monitor the global networks. The GOC was amazing, hundreds of people all sitting in a huge version of a Nasa control room with massive display screens covering an area of about six drive in screens. You view it from a mezzanine viewing area but only after the guide dude presses a button that turns the frosted glass wall into clear glass by electrickery revealing all the people below. Noodles and guns? That was at Tullamarine airport on the way back. The noodle guy that cooked my tea had an accident and wooshed some other guys tea all over the stove. The other guy got really upset and demanded his money back. I was in no rush so I thought it was just funny. Then David had to go through the metal detector thingy so he took off his steel toed shoes and put them on the machine to be xray'd. John and I walked on ahead until all hell broke loose. A big blue light started to flash and an earth shattering siren went off. We spun around to see security guys rushing to the xray machine. We thought it was cool until we realised they were rushing at Dave. He said that the xray screen was flashing a picture of a gun. The lady just pressed a few buttons and the screen cleared, the light went out, the siren stopped and the big guys went back to checking out the pretty girls. We still havn't worked out how to fire Dave's shoes.

Jason has taken a much better photo than the crappy one that Randal took. This one was taken outside Jason's house.

Well it's taken me a very long time, but I have finally added the photo's that Jon took on our South Coast Track walk to our picture gallery. I wasn't in many of my own photo's for obvious reasons, so now you can see how bad I looked after seven days of walking in the same clothes. Click here to check them out. (Thanks Jon!) You can also click here to read the full story on our walk.

 I used to work with a guy called Randal. Like so many others the big T gave him the flick a year or so ago. Randal has always had a thing for big American cars and in particular Corvette's. He purchased his latest car a while ago and then spent a fortune on it having it painted yellow (it used to be white) having new rims imported from the USA, new tyres, a new bonnet etc etc etc. It is all paying off now because he won the best 1990-2006 modified car at the Kangaroo Bay car show recently. I think Emma is hoping that she can borrow it for the grade 10 leavers dinner! Click the little image to view a bigger picture.

 The people that bought our old house have posted another photo of the dining room and kitchen. Looks like there's a bit of stainless steel, granite and wood in places that have never seen it before! Have a look at their website if your interested.

I thought I would show you this photo as a bit of a contrast to the Hobart on fire photo below. Tassie never ceases to amaze. We can have out of control wildfire one week and snow the next! The photo was taken by Maret and is looking past the mining township of Queenstown to the mountains. If you are looking for somewhere to stay on the West Coast make sure you pop into the Chancellor Inn Queenstown. Brett and Maret would love to see you!

I was sent this funky picture by a guy (Jim) that I work with. His job is to work with processes and make them better. I hope this isn't one of his! Click the "Read more ..." to view it.

This one was just too good to keep to myself. Normally most of the spam that hits my email address is automagically trashed, however a few still manage to get through. This one arrived earlier in the week and the image cracked me up. I'm not going to repeat the words here because if I do all the wrong sort of people will start to visit after entering those words into Google. Just have a read for yourself and see what I mean, and can anyone explain why the girl is trying to look through the stethoscope? What is she hoping to see I wonder? Would you use these guys as your doctor? I've munged the website bit because I don't want anyone to actually go there!
