Extreme Mowing...jawaproSun 23/08/2009 09:24 PM
After bad weather, a bad back, and a busy life has put it off for a number of weeks, I finally got around to mowing my lawn. As you can see, it sort of needed it.

Wombat strike...jawaproTue 18/08/2009 07:00 PM
When it comes to Tasmanian wildlife - the worst thing you can run into is a Wombat.
They are large and extremely solid - and I hit one.
I was coming home on Sunday night on the Frankford highway, and rounding a bend, there was suddenly a wombat in the middle of the road.
I dodged to the other side of the road and slammed on the brakes, but so did the wombat (the dodging, not the braking).
We collided, which sadly was the end of the wombat (sad, as I really like wombats). It could have been pretty much the end of my car too - but the Subaru proved how tough it is.
I had a bent number plate, and one of the driving lights was hanging by a wire - but apart from that, the car was fine. Well - apart from saying it was out of fuel - but I’m guessing it must have said that beforehand too.
Other cars in the family have sustained far more damage after hitting far less substantial things. I’ve bent the number plate a couple of times, but apart from that the Scooby-doo has come out pretty well. Although, after saying this, I’ll probably write it off by running into a grasshopper tomorrow.

Asterix and Obelix DVDjawaproSat 15/08/2009 04:56 PM
Kmart had another DVD sale on this week - and one of things in their catalouge was ALL the Asterix and Obelix dvds for sale for $13 each. That was pretty cheap, as the last time I saw them for sale, they were about $30 each for VHSs! Still - with 8 titles, it would still have been pretty expensive if I'd wanted them all.
Well - turns out Kmart didn't have any that I could find - and I was about to give up, when I stumbled across a boxed set! There was only one - and it appeared to be in the wrong place, but who cares? It was only $55. Far cheaper than buying them individually.
So now I own all the Asterix cartoons. Just a pity some of them get the names wrong....

Movie and Xbox nightjawaproSat 15/08/2009 04:45 PM
Tom, Tim, Jim, and Zeke came over last night for a movie and Xbox night. Jim bought his xbox controllers, so we had 4 people in the same game at once.
Heaps of fun. And for once I remembered to take a photo while they were here. Considering how much I blog other stuff, it was a little pathetic that I'd never blogged when these guys have been over. Well - I have now.
Cheers guys!

Been a while since I posted - so here’s a quick update.
On Monday last week, I broke my back. Well - not quite broke it, but did something to damage it. Was a little sore - but not too bad for the rest of the day and most of Tuesday - but Tuesday night it got really bad and I couldn’t walk or anything without extreme pain.
Since then I’ve been recovering. It’s getting better, but I’ve been taking things easy.
In other news - Turkey and I have made some decent progress with the new webserver. We have moved 3 domains to the new server:
http://www.turkeybrain.com
http://www.muppetmoose.com
http://www.overlordofharmony.com
When I make sure things are working properly - I can move my main domain across - and after that it’s just Klutz’s domain (his is a little trickier as he uses it as his email address). Things are progressing though - so stay tuned….
