One Hot Show
From Robbie Williams' second Brisbane concert, 14th December 2006. That's Robbie in his Adidas hoodie near the drumkit. I can only imagine what it was like to be right next to those flamethrowers when

Performance dependance
I have a theory about Robbie Williams. I think that he's addicted to the rush he gets from performing - let's face it, performing in front of a crowd _is_ a great rush. I think that when he's not doing it, his body aches for a replacement and it's all downhill from there.
Watching Over
Perhaps the strangest thing about this statue is the resemblance to my sister, Alice.
The Future of Systems Management? Puppets!
For those who administer a number of unix systems you have probably found there is little out there in the way of tools to help you manage multiple systems in a clean and efficient way. While cfengine is perhaps the most advanced F/OSS offering it is lacking in many areas - I know when I checked it out some time ago I got the distinct impression that the Cost/Benefit break-even point would be somewhere beyond 50 machines - I want something that's worth setting up for the ability to replace (or reconfigure) 10 machines without as much effort as it would take to do manually.

Furious at Firefox
Oh. My. God. I can't even begin to describe how insanely stupid this is. I just went to open a site in Firefox (since it wasn't rendering in Konqueror quite right) and I get greeted by the most stupid error message I think I've ever seen:
They came to worship at the temple of Robbie - Williams, that is.
From all corners of Queensland (and a few from NSW and further I'll bet), around 50,000 women came to worship at the temple of Robbie on Friday Dec 14 2006 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Many were chaperoned by their nervous partners, myself included :-)
Soli-tree
A sad, solitary tree stands on what you might call a tidal flat in Pinkenba, Qld, Australia.
