It’s Ruddslide!

November 25, 2007 · No Comments

Well, I’m just about over my hang-over from last night’s election night party. And what a night it was, after 11 *long* years of the conservatives last night delivered a thumping. Coalition members in seats that needed a swing of more than 10% lost their seats (Take a bow De-Anne Kelley) John Howard looks to become only the second sitting Prime Minster to lose his seat (The first was Stanley Bruce - interestingly enough also over Industrial Relations)

Peter Costello has spat the dummy and said he doesn’t want to be Leader of the Opposition, opening the door for a whole new bunch of contenders, including Malcolm Turnball, who is mush less socially conservative than most of the current parliamentary Liberal party.

On the whole, I think we’re in for an interesting couple of weeks.

Flock it’s good

November 23, 2007 · No Comments

So, as well as changing web sites, (and can I just say I’m looking forward to getting the WordPress site up and running properly) I’ve also changed web browsers, from Firefox to Flock.

Initially I thought I’d find the Flock interface too crowded - but in fact I love having all that information right there in front of me. In one glance I can see my Facebook friend updates, the twitter updates, my favourite RSS feeds everything.

It’s seriously cool

A new home

November 22, 2007 · No Comments

So, after two different attempts at blogging hosted on my .mac account, I’ve moved to WordPress.

Why WordPress - easy, impressive feature set and super flexible, which is pretty much all I was looking for.

Obviously this site will be under construction for a bit while I get it set up and all my links and stuff carried across - but so far I’m pretty impressed
