This new underground venue has been screaming for a quality club night since it opened a few months ago, and deap just might fit the description. On paper they certainly have

Today I bought my new digital camera, a Canon IXUS V. My criteria were that it had to be ultra-compact (fit in a mobile phone pocket), 1600x1200, CompactFlash and have WIA drivers. I chose one model up from this, the IXUS 300, purely because it has a 3x optical zoom where the IXUS V has only 2x. The 300 is

So I left Toby's birthday bash early, in order to check out the new club night that promised to revolutionise Sydney nitelife, in the amazing new venue for over 25s. What a joke. It was just a function room with a rented system and beers in ice buckets. The furniture seems to have come from assorted lounge rooms, rather than

This afternoon I passed my MCP Exam: "70-240 - Microsoft Windows 2000 Accelerated Exam for MCPs Certified on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0" in 2h40. This exam has dominated my conscience, if not my life, for the last few months and the feeling I got when the word "Congratulations!" appeared on the test screen was memorable. I understand the cliché "like

Why?Perhaps if you weren't spending so much time reading my website, you would have had enough time to upload the images to your own "site". Where is all

OK, so it was 3 weeks ago, but better late than never, right?Saturday: My flight to Melbourne was uncomfortable and uneventful. Courtesy of Qantas Club I had been upgraded to Business Class, a concession to my superior height (as I had asked for an exit row). Unfortunately this boarding pass was replaced with 5 minutes to go, and I was

OK, I have been a bit slack with the site, I admit it. Tonight I have made a little bit of difference by adding the photos from Fiona's birthday, and Nicola and Greg's photos from the Final tweekin. I hope you enjoy them.

Last night my girl took me to the Basement for dinner, where Kevin Borich Express was the evening’s entertainment. This was a double first for me, as I had never been to the Basement, or seen a live Blues performance. Both impressed me, but the band was definitely number one. Although I am not exactly a connoisseur of Blues music,

I just got home from the Hopetoun Hotel, where I caught the headliners, Choko. I was pleased that I actually managed to arrive before they started their set. They played most of the old faves, with the timely addition of "Bust a Move", dedicated to a little lady who used a killer pickup line to her advantage. All this track
