A certain proud-as-punch friend of mine pinged me this evening to let me know that his lady-love is Mayor-Elect of Luna Pier, Michigan. Here is the announcement in the Monroe News , and here is Mary's blog . It's so very obvious from chatting...

Holiday snaps #4 - Egypt

It is time for some more holiday snaps, yes? I think the hardest photographic challenge of my trip was trying to capture a realistic perspective of just how large the Pyramids are... add to that the fact that my poor camera, purchased in 1999, really...

Reminders of mortality

Sad. I received a brief email from a dear friend this morning canceling our lunch plans because her Mom has died, suddenly and unexpectedly, from a heart attack. I can only imagine the pain that she must be feeling right now. I can't do a damned thing...

Holidays snaps #3

We made a quick side trip to Memphis, Egypt. The star of that particular area of the country is the most amazing statue of, if I recall correctly, Rameses. You can get a true perspective of the size of the statue from the people standing next to it, barely...

Holiday snaps #2

Ok, so I've done some work tonight (the Knowledge Base articles) therefore I reckon I can post some totally off-topic stuff.... The previous photograph from our holiday, posted earlier, was of Mont St Michel in France, near Normandy on the Bay of...

Holiday snaps

Just one of the dreams that came true during this trip - a visit to Mont St Michel, France. I have hundreds of photographs of the various destinations we visited during our just completed family holiday - I promise not to post them all at once

Heh. ACDC get their domain name

" THEY'VE sung about "dirty deeds" for decades, but with a younger online audience hardcore headbangers AC/DC are cleaning up their act. For years the domain name acdc.com was held by a porn site with metal fans perhaps getting more...

Sandi is on holidays!

My family and I are on holidays for a few weeks, so things will be quiet around here. I am not planning to do any blogging until mid-October. That being said, keep an eye on my blog; there is an announcement already written and scheduled to go live in...

We're taking a real family holiday in a few weeks - the first one that we have taken as an entire family in a very long time - and it is very special - Singapore then Cairo, then Frankfurt, then Zurich, then Paris, then Versailles, then Mont St Michel...

Dead man wakes during autopsy

This is nothing short of unbelievable. " A VENEZUELAN man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy ."

Cool. Some nice publicity for IE-VISTA...

IE-VISTA is featured on the Internet Explorer Community Site, and the Windows Vista Community site, and my latest article, Don't Take The Bait!, is currently a featured column. You can see my article about phishing scams, Don't Take The Bait!...

Switzerland wins the 32nd americas cup

What can I say... I'm Swiss and I'm proud.... And there's something so funny about a landlocked country like Switzerland, defending their win for the cup against all comers, and beating New Zealand, an island nation. There was only a single...
