It’s been with me for over 7 years, has seen many changes and lived in four different houses but now it’s time to say goodbye.

Tonight my longest standing email address – caffeine@ozemail.com.au – is finally put to rest when my dial up account expires. Good bye caffeine, it’s been fun but it’s time to put you to rest for good.

We’ve caught the Ebay bug again. This time it’s only a few DVD’s we want to get rid of ’cause they’ve released new editions and an ADSL line filter but as you can see less than a day in and everything has sold already. Hopefully we’ll get enough to pay for the special edition Sixth Sense (imdb | buy at amzaon) or Jerry (imdb | buy at amazon).

Half way through the footy season tonight and it’s the big game where Jason McCartney (see previous entry) makes his comeback and Brad Ottens returns to the Tiges after back surgery early in the year.

I hope Jason McCartney gets a standing ovation, has a wonderful first minute and is then retired to the bench ’cause the Tiges are playing all over him.

Go Tiges, and remember, NO PRISONERS!!!

Arrrgghhhh.

I was working on a site for a local outpost of an international company (sounds a lot more impressive than it is) and today received a call.

“It’s good news and bad news Tony. We love the concept pages you’ve done, but Paris have just sent an email saying no one in the group is allowed to have individual web sites any more.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I still get paid but I really like what I’d done so far and was looking forward to refining and completing it. You can check out the prototype pages (index/contact/location and maps were all that got done) at www.anthonymalloy.com/mercure/.

So, any one in the market for a web site? I have this great idea on how it could look.

Things I Didn’t Get This Morning For My Birthday

My own tropical island
My own battleship
A hovercraft to drive to work in
My own harem of redheaded super models
A surprise deposit in my bank account of $1,000,000
A working TARDIS

The Thing I Did Get That More Than Makes Up For Missing Out On The Above

The complete first series of Twin Peaks on DVD!

Jason McCartney is an inspiration. A professional footballer for the Kangaroos, he was badly burned in the Bali bombings of 2002. He vowed to play footy at the highest level again and after a painful recovery period it seems he is going to run out on the ground this weekend in his return to the AFL. Fittingly the ‘roos will no doubt rise to the occasion and win the game for him.

Good luck Jason, but why did you have to come back against the Tiges?

A mega-day of football yesterday with an afternoon game at Telstra Dome and then a night game at the ‘G. Doggies and Tigers both playing on the same day, who could ask for more?

The highlight?

Dinner at Blue Train between the games.

Out teams suck.

No doubt you’ve all seen the pics going around of cats dressed up in hats and things. Well, the Japanese company that makes a range of cats clothes has their english site up and running.

The whole phenomenon makes a lot more sense after reading their explanation.

1. You need to dress a cat. And you will say to a cat together with a family. “It has changed just for a moment”. [ ‘It being very dear’ or ] You will pass pleasant one time.

2. If a family and a cat become fortunate, you will take a commemorative photo! Therefore, please photo your cat lovelily with much trouble.

3. If it finishes taking a photograph, you will make it remove clothes from a cat immediately. You will say then, without forgetting the language of gratitude to a cat. ‘– be flooded — a way — good — having done one’s best — ! — “

I know you’re all bursting to get your own cat clobber so rush on over to The Tailor of a cat CAT PRIN

Mieko, they need your translating skills.

This feels good, I’ve found a home for Belter’s (what’s up with the name?) brother. One less kitten being abused, one more happy family.

Warm and fuzzies at last on a very grumpy day.
