I found I often want to search for text in emails. I found this nice little plugin called conquery that lets you do many things among which is search google for the selected text. Works beautifuly.

First episode of the blues story. Enjoy

I have created a wishlist of books I want on Amazon. Not that I want them from Amazon, just that its a good way of making a list of books that I want. I mainly did this so my fans have a way of buying me something if they feel so inclinded. No, actually I did it in the hope that one day I’ll actually get around to buying and reading those books.

Well, here I am at the end of a long weekend, the Anzac long weekend to be more accurate. we did a number of things this weekend. Probably the highlight was seeing The Cat Empire. I had heard of them before and Maissa saw them at Womad a few years ago and had been raving about them, but I have to say, they were pretty good, one of the best bands I have seen on stage in quite a while. The energy they put into the performance was quite astounding. How would I describe them? Well, I would say they are a mix of Latin, Jazz, Hip Hop, Funk, Reggae and Ska (not necessarily in that order).
Then we went to the Inaugural Balmain Acoustic Music Festival, and I have to say that was rather nice too. Very pleasant park, not too crowded, nice atmosphere and great music. We saw among others, Big Wheel, The Back Sliders, Monsieur Camembert and Kristina Olsen.
We also dropped by Damian’s place to see his new lack of wall.
Dropped by Mark and Yukiko’s to see the new addition to their family. She is very cute. She even has a blue bum! amazing. They looked pretty good. Quite relaxed I thought, although I think they weren’t so relaxed just after she was born.
Anyway, that’s about it for this post which was inspired by Brendan’s blog. Thanks Brendan. And because Brendan had a pretty graph on his site, I’m going to put one up too. You can’t get much purer than a sine wave, so without further ado…

This is what happens when you don’t do your sums properly when using a crane.

Google desktop search only works in IE at the moment. Go here to request that they add firefox support.

There seems to be a new thing where some scum think they will still go to heaven even if they post comment spam. Here’s a link that might help.

This week, I have mostly been listening to Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden.
When you have a supplier that sends you shit, and you have to hand sort through his delivery to sort the shit out from the acceptable stuff, and you send him a fax explaining how shit his quality control is, and you know he’s not going to be impressed, you find yourself singing Run to the Hills.

This reminds me of Damian in his thankless job trying to convert the masses at is current work place.
