I’ll have to read some of his stuff, I guess!
I’ve had this post in my drafts folder for yonks now. Yes, YONKS! That’s a long time, right… I know. I am lazy and I am sorry. Hopefully this post won’t stink… (hehe).

I have always had a bit of a sweat issue. Let’s cut to the chase – I am a pale redhead, and I am slightly on the cuddly side. Therefore, I sweat pretty easily.
It is also a genetic thing: my father, who was not a redhead and was a reasonably fit bloke, would sweat at the thought of sunshine. True… Continue reading
Today marks 12 years since my father died. I’ve written about it previously so won’t rehash it all here.
I miss my father and I am sad that he isn’t here to be a Poppy for my children.
But this is the hand I was dealt, and I’m making it work as best I can; having a wonderful wife and two healthy boys is a pretty sweet life

I am a father again! My wife and I, the delightful Mrs Guru, welcomed our second child into the world on Monday 15 March, 2010. We had a second son, and we named him Gus.
This isn’t a recount of the birth adventure (which was timely, standard and quite pleasant this time around, all things considered); I will save that for my other website, which I am still working at updating, though I will cross-post that one when I do write it up.
No, rather than the birth, I wanted to reflect on the unbelievably selfless and… Continue reading
I am HOPELESS at just sitting down at the computer and getting stuff done.
I have been trying to get some work done for a couple of hours now, and each time I start to write a few lines, I do the old ALT-TAB and flick across to see what’s making the news, and whether I have any new emails (even though I get a desktop alert if I get an email).
This blog post is an attempt to force myself into writing something – even though it’s not the work that I need to be doing. I… Continue reading
September 1st? As in four and a half months ago? Wow, it has been forever since I actually posted something here. I cannot believe it has been that amount of time. Since I set this lil thang up back in late 2005, I’ve missed the odd month here and there, but never 4 months between content. I mean sure, I posted one of those Downfall clips we all love, but that’s just a YouTube link, innit? No excuses. I need to pull my finger out and make this blog worthwhile to my 4 readers, or else I’m just another git… Continue reading
Humerous response to the AFL All-Australian team, which never leaves everyone happy.

A little while ago I was reading an old feature article about the now-axed Tony Martin radio show Get This. In it, Ed Kavalee said of Martin’s influence on him:
“He’s made me learn that there’s no substitute for working your arse off.”
With this as my inspiration, I have pulled my finger out and will now use much more of my ‘spare time’ to write, write, write and do less faffing around.
To assist, I have recently procured a lovely little 13″ Macbook Pro, and my iPhone is capable of tethering, so there is… Continue reading
A doozy of a sub-edit FAIL from The Age.
