Snootchy Bootches!
well another week of flu has me burned out on Kevin Smith movies, enjoyed the rewatch for the most part, but really think that Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is my fave of the ones I chose to watch (I don't count Jersey Girl coz it's rubbish!) .. because it doesn't really try to tell me anything, it's just a stupid fun romp.
Very little else happening, no riding walking or playing guitar... not enough concentration to read much, but lots of mindless tv and facebooking. I know, that's sad!!
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
:-)
Moving on from comp sys engineering and back to networking, really looking forward to this. Will be good also to be back in the old halls and hopefully, the coffee is still good there :-) Pity most of my old mates have moved on but there is one from the recent place there, and always room in my life for new cool people!! yay! :-)
I particularly love meeting people who inspire me and that I can respect, deep people who are unconcerned with the superficialities of life beyond that with which we are forced in some measure to comply in order to function within a city society. Outside of that, let the mind be free!
more to come? I hope so!!
wiigiiciaolicious!!!

Ok, so it's been a long time since I rock n rolled...
Doesn't mean I don't still rock out from time to time.
Not that I have been lately, rocking out that is, more drifting along, between occasional epiphanies and disillusionment... hoping for more of the former, less of the latter.
I need a hero...
Having experienced rather a lot of the less than stellar side of human nature during the non-delights of a workcover case... my natural idealism took a very large and almost fatal hit... my benevolence worn thin... I have struggled to find anyone to admire or be inspired by...
Then I met Joe ****** (haven't asked if I can blog him so asterisks will suffice for a surname).
Just the once, had a conversation in which the fire in my belly was lit again, albeit briefly. He told me what a priviledge it is to do the work he does, and support brave people working hard for everyone else, looking after the interests of those who look after the interests of all of us.
Well done :)
Tireless workers for the environment like my dear friend Margaret and her site: Re-earthing the Cities never cease to inspire me, but, I have become jaded after fighting and losing so much it would seem on the one hand. On the other, when I have the presence of mind to recollect, I have gained much more, and am abundant endlessly anyway.
The illusion of materialism drives our weakest darkest desires.
hmm that sounded a bit too philosophical for me today! Nevertheless, I'm back, I'm blogging, and I expect to become coherent sooner rather than later!!
Rock On!
Ride On!
Be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never knew Adelaide was so full of youtubing plane spotters!
I was googling around, being an amateur plane spotter myself, to find the next arrival of the Qantas A380 training flight so we could try out the tripod for pics.. and found this (and way too many others):
I also found this lovely dedication of the first Spirit of Australia Qantas A380 to
Nancy Bird Walton

In case you don't believe me that it was packed to the rafters with Anoraks...
here's a small selection of geeks on a hill....
we were quite a distance away, thankyou zoom lens, and had trouble finding a spot to park, and a couple of minutes after we arrived, there was simply no more room for cars on any perimeter road there... plus, we didn't know the quarry road was open :-(
