Friday, January 28, 20112011I wonder why I've kept my account with this site open. I didn't make a single entry last year. I guess I haven't wanted to see all my entries of the past vanish into thin air. I have a lot of history strangely contained in this site. I extracted a fair amount of material and used it in a...

I have to admit I've been somewhat converted to facebook though I'm keeping the whole thing down to a small group of real friends. This site feels a little old fashnioned now but when I see...

There's a certain degree of foggy indifference that rolls through the mind and things don't cling the way they were in supposedly healthier times.

I'm sitting with my laptop and feeling that the sense of blogging connection has diminished quite a bit. People who used to frequently post have disappeared and I've done much the same.

Most of the reports, articles and columns were about the economic situation, strategies designed so that Australia might avoid recession, ways of pumping money into areas that will stimulate the economy. The government wants to give me and most other... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, February 5, 2009hey thereIt's been a couple of months since I've managed a post! It's a humid summer night in Sydney, though there's a slight sea breeze curling through the window which is delivering some relief. I have mixed feelings about the job. I don't regret that I took it and I certainly don't regret moving away from... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, December 22, 2008seasons greetingsHi Guys. Here's a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. I haven't been visiting Blogit so much over the past weeks and haven't been writing so much recently other than posting the occasional quote and rather interesting and occasionally dubious fact.
