How good is this? The only day I couldn’t post because of no access to ISP server at my end, I post a retrospective post today – daring postaday2011 to include it without penalty – then, while reading my email backlog, I come across this unsolicited gift of grace from WordPress… Everyone gets a passContinue reading “WordPress smiles upon me…”

Surviving without internet (yesterday’s post!)
Easy-peasy – opportunity to clear the desk and the other backlogs. Let me just clear some meeting dates first – uh, no access to calendar. Well, how about ordering that printer ink that’s due – oh, can’t logon to supplier. OK, I need to get that info on the solar panels – darn, web pageContinue reading “Surviving without internet (yesterday’s post!)”
Speaking (or Blogging) too soon
That will teach me. Brag about posting every day and approaching day 80 and my internet goes down! won’t be up until the end of the week. Who would have thought swapping an ISP belonging to the same company could be so complicated. Anyway, made it today with this gripe having found a wifi hotspotContinue reading “Speaking (or Blogging) too soon”
Bleeding hearts or bleeding minds?
Today’s Eureka Street article spells it out so plainly. The remote detention regime that has given rise to the Christmas Island riot is born of a policy that has become stupid to keep defending. Blame detention centres, not detainees – Eureka Street We need politicians courageous enough to make a bilateral stance to remove theContinue reading “Bleeding hearts or bleeding minds?”
Reflecting on Postaday2011
Let’s blog on blogging. Day eighty of meeting the WordPress “write a post a day” challenge has so far left me unphased. Sure there are times I’ve had to scratch around a bit to find something to write about, but, even on the deadline, something has usually appeared, even if quite innocuous. Surprisingly, the statsContinue reading “Reflecting on Postaday2011”
Happy Super Moon Night
It’s very bright out there tonight – a super moon, they tell us. It seems so close you can reach out and touch it. How many love songs have the beau reaching up and plucking the moon from the sky for his SO? “Full moons come in different sizes because of the elliptical shape ofContinue reading “Happy Super Moon Night”
Christmas Island – chickens come home to roost
PM – Police poised for more violence on Christmas Island 18/03/2011. Asylum seekers locked up indefinitely behind gates in overcrowded quarters on a tiny and remote Indian Ocean island. Some have been there 20 months with no knowledge of expected outcomes. A plot from “Lost”? Nope, its what Australia’s Border Protection Policy looks like andContinue reading “Christmas Island – chickens come home to roost”
Herding cats
I was reminded of this when our workshop leader last night attempted to divide 31 of us into groups of five!
I thought good news was supposed to be palatable…
YouTube – MSNBC Host Makes Rob Bell Squirm: “You’re Amending The Gospel So That It’s Palatable!”. Rob Bell squirming? I guess it depends on your perspective. I find the polemical and propositional tone of the interview embarrassing at its source more than its reception. I’d be squirming in my effort to remain polite. I haven’t read Bell’sContinue reading “I thought good news was supposed to be palatable…”

A well articulated and compassionate article that does not minimise even the most calculated risks in implementing and managing nuclear energy Japan’s nuclear distortion – Eureka Street.
