For those who want a ‘balanced debate’ on the subject I’m going to post you an article that sums it up. It was written at the end of 2005 and is called ‘Slamming the Climate Skeptic Scam’. It’s all about the massive amount of misinformation and how the certain elements of the PR industry are being funded by ‘certain forces’ over the existence of climate change. Yes those forces are parties

Hello Where does the year go - must mean old age, surely? For us here in deepest darkest Sydney it has been one heck of a year. But perhaps a defining year.Most important was the birth of Archie, nowhere to be seen a year ago, and now a full on squarking and noise/poop/vomit generating machine. He is a legend mind you, and a calm chill child really, well compared to Noah - and we were lucky

This does all seem a bit sureal. We have been looking to but a house for the last 5 months, and had many issues, or perhaps we are just fussy, and not having enough cash what with the prices in Sydney. We had certain requirements and always seemed to be pushing about our means. We lost out on 4 houses by people just bidding above us. We must have looked at about 1500 houses online and visited

Something is definitely happening out there... There are so many exciting news stories and announcements that I thought it would be a good idea to summarise for a lunch-time/evening read, and if you are interested please have a click, or pass onto your friends/colleagues who are interested.Even more first off... Just go and see An Inconvenient Truth... with Al Gore. It's a great movie, and

Yes that the "Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing"As they say - 'BOINC is free, open-source software for distributed computing'.What this means is you sign up to a project of your choice, they download you a piece of 'work', and when you PC/Mac/Linux box is not doing anything, it uses the spare CPU cycles to compute the work - along with displaying a screensaver.You divide up the

Big News...We are due again. Little Blobinina (maybe a girl, we don't know) is due in October. Not planned, and well, we have not been able to talk too much about it, as Jac was just quite getting used to a bit of normality. But in reality, it's going to be great, if tough for a while. Second time round is so different from the first. We are chuffed. Pics soon.The other news for JT is that
