My passport expires in 7 days. Finally. Because the motherfucker on my passport in 2001 looks older than I do today. He looks angry, and sweaty, and like it’s a 43c day [snip]
My thought process on this:
Wow, Australian passports don’t last very long, do they? I mean, 2001, that’s only—oh. Oh god. No. It can’t be 10 years since 2001. That was yesterday! I had...

Okay, 2011, today is the 31st of January ...
This is your last chance!
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and allow you the grace of closing out any 2010 crap by the 3rd of February, wherein, according to our learned friends from the East, it shall be the New Year under the guise of the Rabbit.
But after that? I shall not be happy!

meatsoftheworld:
Something the man and I have been discussing avidly of late. We think there’s a huge double standard on Tumblr. Women can basically compliment, flirt and say just about anything they want to men, but if a guy says the same to a woman, it’s creepy or disrespectful. It’s the same in real life, granted, but it’s more evident here. And, yes, this is a general statement, and not...

Egypt
ronbailey:
I can’t wonder but what comes next in places like Egypt and Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Historically the US has spent a lot of money and political capital propping up the very same authoritarian governments that are now being tossed aside. While part of me is happy to see people throw off their shackles, another part is frightened by what might lie ahead. The new bosses might rightfully...

20. Started with a 2400 baud into the Swinburne annex. Terribly wasted a few years on MUDs….
Oh, the joy of those early days of Multiple player games. I spent a lot of time in MUDs as well, and even started helping a friend set up his own MOO. Such a revolutionary idea to have Object Oriented environments! All of that work, to create an environment, objects,...

That’s how long I have been on the “internet”.
After being in the world of the BBS and FidoNet for a while, I discovered a BBS in 1988 that linked out to the AARNet. It’s fair to say, that I never looked back from there. Between BBS’, FidoNet and AARNet, I have always had online interaction as part of my life. This is extremely unusual for someone of my age and...

Don't you hate that moment ...
When you send someone an sms to find out where they went and then you hear their phone next to you?
I hate that.

Yeah, this is the annoying little voice in your head. I know you don’t like listening to me, but you have two mortgages and only one salary and if you don’t get your arse off the chair and into a pair of pants and drive into work, you may not have that either. Mmmmkay?

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry Doug, I know how you feel because Ingy is a horse person too. I like horses, don’t get me wrong, I want a Clydesdale one day … but I do tend to share a fellow cattle farmer’s point of view that they are “expensive, feed consuming, shit producing, paddock buggerers”.
