• Enjoying reasonably slow paced weekend so far. Have to hit the shops for groceries in a bit, but otherwise it’s been good. #
• Hmmm… Olympics now pretty much done. I’ve watched a total of about an hour for the whole games, which is a huge contrast to 04. #

• Enjoying some beautiful winter sun… Hmmm… Seratonin therapy… #
• Ok, so let’s see what ping does with links – check http://www.markobrien.com.au for example. #
• Ok, that wasn’t so impressive! What about http://ping.fm/A01GD ? How goes that? #

• right – quick burst of activity here before heading off to a school assembly to watch one of the kids get an award and do a speech. cool! #
• Aaaaah…. School assemblies…. Sort of like old gyms… #
• prep, prep, prep… going down and into radio silence… #
• ok, just watched about an hour of women’s olympic volleyball (US v. Cuba), and that increased my watching tenfold this games… #
• we’ve got slow internet due to an upload prob we had (oops!), and 64k speed is killing me!!!!!!! aaaaargh! #
• Joe Satriani rocks… #
• @baggas you seem to be a rather distracted student… :-) #
• @baggas – No, I understand entirely. I also work far better in cafes, especially for think-stuff or creative work. Not sure why… #
• As usual, cool meeting with IT bods. Always fun… Now bed. #
• Man, 6am does not feel very good right now… #
• Just a quick test of Ping… #
• this should turn up everywhere! :-) #
• Another rather cool run this morning. Actually walked a bunch. Just felt like enjoying the morning. Listening to great book on Drucker. #

• ok, so, a big day of projects ahead, but it all starts with the first step, right? hmmm… breakfast… :-) #
• @RodneyOlsen – still felt like night! actually, the sun rose as i ran, which is always a nice reminder that it might get warmer… #
• @CherylSmith999 – Very funny video… :-) #
• Man, flat out day – got 80% done… #
• Definitely a meat-eater, so tonight’s steaks will be a treat… #
• Steak was pretty good. Now having fun watching Nic figure out a crazy new exercise machine… :-) #
• Time to go run, but I fear it is going to be cold out there! :-( #
• Still haven’t watched more than a couple minutes of Olympics & don’t feel like I’ve missed much. Not sure why… #
• @hismethod yeah, that’s the stuff i feel i missed, but then i haven’t really felt any pangs of regret. honestly, it’s weird. normally… #

• the day is off to a flying start… wow! quite a bit cooler today with a sudden drop in temp and some rain. #
• bit of a wall to wall day, but good stuff. had fun with lisa crowe over lunch making fun of equestrian events at the olympics.. :-) #
• Enjoyed a run in Deano’s new toy this arvo. Yep, I want one, although it could be hard to explain to the church… #

• odd, varied day today of meetings and stuff. got a reasonable plan for the next few days. lots to do. also figured out our slow net problem! #
• Dinner is in the works & should be very nice. Love sweet potato! #
• Not sure what the deal is, but after years of dormancy in my network of connections, suddenly Facebook seems all the rage. Twitter next?! #
• Very warm in bed this morning – do NOT want to get up! :-( #
