Well that's all hoopy then, frood.

They are termite mounds Al. One looks like it recently encountered an aardvark, with or without baguette. Go Giants!

Happy birthday!

Walked right into this guy. He was in musth, and in a very foul mood, so we made our excuses and left. Quite quickly, in fact! [ATTACH=CONFIG]3786[/ATTACH]

I wonder if Stephen Booth is going to get a phone call from Charles Hansen? The name certainly seems to create potential for confusion given that there's already one quite well-known Ayre in the audio space.

OK, that wasn't at aaaaaaaall awkward.

Mobile is where it's the bar's at.

Indeed, just as many folk in sunnier climes prefer bright colors to reflect it back into space. And to be awesome.

Until you try to take a slug of the coffee and bean yourself on the forehead with the tablet -- a move that I predict will come to be known as the facepad.

Little late here, sorry, but party on Wayne!

Played golf. Ate steak. Drank whiskey. Middle age, where is thy sting?

Yip Yip The Cowboy -- "Yeah Here We Go Crazy Apeshit Banana"

Will buy.

Today was National Braai (BBQ) Day. Seriously. Grilled some sausages and chicken kebabs for lunch. Now drinking beer.

Happy Birthday Jim!

That's awful.

Hey all. I'm having weird difficulties establishing a secure connection to certain Web sites. Some work fine (gmail, online banking, amazon, itunes etc.) but some (paypal, me.com, random ecommerce sites) will not load on my iMac in any browser -- have tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. The pages will start to render and then hang forever with no further network activity. This only occurs when connected to our home wireless setup -- cellular data connections via iPhone or iPad are OK. I've checked the router settings and nothing is being blocked there. No difference with OS X firewall off, or with Little Snitch disabled. Even switched ISPs to see if it was something at that end of the toobs, to no avail. Anyone have any ideas at all? This is doing my head in!

Happy Birthday Deepak. Long may your records remain clean!
