OK, the bit about having not slept is an outright lie, but I genuinely am knackered ! This is the problem with being so efficient and organised – my venue runs like clockwork… so much so that there's nothing for me to do up there any more! Well, except for playing tons of free games,…

As I haven't written myself a proper photo gallery script yet, I'll have to make do with this… Virge and our Simpsons pinny. We've got a 6-pack Daytona! Here's the stage with the roof up and some lights on. I got interviewed on the radio today (wooooo! Humpy On The Air!), so I thought I'd…

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Well that was fun !! Oh my god, what a buzz – performing in the AJ2004 Opening Ceremony ! I know we bandy this figure of 8000 people around a fair bit, but it's completely something else to be on stage with all of their gaze focused on you. What a racket ! Beats…

Today it appears to be pissing down. That was a fraction unexpected, considering the relentless heat of the last few days. I've gotta give it to Austin though – ignoring for a moment he's about as smart as a row of wooden posts, he did say that it was guaranteed to rain at least once,…

Well, imagine that – I've had to wash my hands at the end of a day to get the dirt off for the THIRD day in succession ! That's not something a computer nerd's accustomed to !! Anyway, today we spent the day setting up the video arcade some more – it's an amazing transformation…

Today marked my first day on site at the Jamboree. After awakening feeling a bit stuffed (not hungover mind you – it would take a bit to beat Christmas morning !!), I wandered over to Woodhouse to see where they'd gotten to since I was there last. It's amazing – you'd barely recognise the place…

I went and saw Return of the King the other night – gotta love that whole queueing up for an hour to see a movie you've already got a ticket for… Great film and all, but I'm not going to spend too long on that, because hey – no surprises in it; the plot's been…

Dear diary, it's been 5 days since my last confession… Well, the Christmas period was certainly as violent towards my liver as usual! Mostly good fun though. No carol singing this year, which was a bit unsettling after having made it a routine for the last 10 years. Although routine made a reappearance in the…

I remember reading a fair bit about how email is eating into the profit margins of Australia Post. It seems logical, although personally I think it'd have a roughly equal effect on phone calls as well… But yeah, anyway – the point is: If email's the nemesis of the Postal Service, then Christmas time and…

What a cornucopia of activity this weekend turned out to be !! We really do get a warm and mawkish feeling out of being reunited with people we haven't seen in a while, don't we ? OK, at least I guess I do. I really do wish there were more time available for catching up…
