After a bit of experimenting with the new blog software I’ve decided to close this original blog down. Commenting has been dissabled, and aside from a few informational post like this one nothing more will be posted here. All the material of this blog will be rolled over into the new one, and for a while these pages will stay so that inbound links wont break just yet, but I do plan to completely remove the old files once I’m happy with everything. So the permalinks will die with the change, oh well.

Closed for repairs
Yesterday Alex sent me a link to MovableType. Today they released version 2 with stacks of new features. So I’m going to chage over to MovableType version 2 over the next few days, till the new system is up and running I shan’t be posting.
Am I a writer?
Today Dave Golding asked me this question:
Are you a writer?
My answer at the time was that I lack the dedication to write. By that I mean that I would like to be a writer, but don’t actually do much writing.
So at best I’m a wannabe writer. Perhaps I should do something about this…
Buffy is back
Having now watched the first episode of Buffy season 6 twice I can say this. Buffy rocks.
Mardi Gras
The parade was fucking awesome as always, but I wont go on, it was a you-had-to-be-there thing.
New Buffy, can’t wait
In standard preparation for tonights airing of the first episode of the latest season of Buffy I watched the last two episodes of season five again tonight. Is it just me or does it get really bleary near the end of the last episode for everyone else too?

Morally speaking
Factiod with little meaning number 470223: My Moral Parsimony Score is 100% ( according to Morality Play @ The Philosophers’ Magazine) That’s not to say that these morals actually guide my choices, but it does explain all the guilt.
Rabbit-Proof Fence
Not an easy movie to watch. Which is why you should watch it. This movie shows just one story of three aboriginal girls that were forcibly removed from their mothers and assimilated into white culture, but the girls decided it wasn’t for them and so walked 1200 miles home. An extremely moving and powerful story, made all the worse because it is true. If you want to truly know what the phrase “Stolen Generation” means watch this film. And if all that isn’t enough, it is photographically beautiful. Watch it once, for once is draining enough for any person. Makes one embarrassed to be Australian. Embarrassed to live in a country where the government doesn’t even have the balls to say “sorry”.
The nature of God part 2
Why would God that is free to do anything, and able to do anything be limited by something as simple as logic? Why can’t God create a square circle or make 1 + 1 = 72? These are only impossibilities due to our small notions of the way things work.
