Daily Diatribe


29 July 2003

Well the start of another working week and Tuesday has come and gone already!

News today is that NSW Public School teachers are to strike.  Here's what I have to say on the matter... [rant]

In site news, the last remaining section - "Links" - will be up by the end of the week... drop me a line to push for a weird or wonderful site that should be included!

And the new wave of reality TV is here with Australian Idol... I am disappointed our own Angelo "Craig David" Buultjens didn't have a crack... could have been a hit - just like that guy who looked like Meatloaf!  Anyway, some poonce will win and will be crowned "Australia's Idol"... why do 14 year old girls opinions count as to what this nation deems as popular.  First Reggie wins Big Brother on the back of the teenage vote, and I am certain this show will be "won" by a blonde, 18-21 bloke with dimples.... aaaggghh!!  Why can't Stephen Waugh be in the running?  Now there's an idol worth worshipping!!

27 July 2003

Just a quick update - has been a fairly busy weekend with Kate's birthday...  Lots of presents she loves them all - thanks to everybody!

In world events, I read this morning that some rebel Philippine soldiers took some Australian's (incl the Ambassador to the Phillippines) hostage.  Whilst they have been released, you just have to wonder why Australians are the targets?  Wouldn't have something to do on our views on "The War On Terror" would it Lil' Johnny?

Oh well, looks like we have the might of the Solomon Islands licked, maybe we can go beat up on the Phillippino's next... just have to ask Uncle George first for permission.

Also, just letting you know the Forum section is going well... feel free to express your views!

24 July 2003

The ClayInfinity Forum is now up and running.  Click here to check them out: [Forum]

Also, the Truth? section is online, and will come along over time.  Again click here: [Truth]

A lot of people today were sent a link to my site to check it out (couldn't resist!)... Let me know what you think via the Forum and also feel free to pass this site on to people you know... I wouldn't mind if the Forum's became a central point where people, in particular my friends and family and their subsequent friends, used it as a bit of a social bar...

And by all means, comment on the (few) articles that are up here already...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!!

22 July 2003

Today was a significant day.  I joined a gym.  Yep, signed up, all done.  Exercised for 90mins and really enjoyed it.  With work etc, its difficult to find time, but I am determined to go at least twice a week - Tuesdays and Thursdays!

OK, here goes... my first rant (see yesterday's entry).  Really haven't given it a good read through... its about our favourite Prime Minister and his quantum leaps of logic... [rant]

On the home front, my little Brooke is sick with a tummy bug.  It's her big sister Kate's birthday tomorrow... so I hope she's better by then.  Love you baby girl xx

21 July 2003

Well, John Howard and his government have ticked me off again... in the next day or two I will be posting my rant about why.  Before I do that, maybe you should check my rant intro.

My first additional content is up now... read out "why" this site is here [article]

And my opinions on Krispy Kreme donuts are not just my own.  A straw poll of friends and colleagues generally agreed that the KK donuts are:

  1. way too sweet

  2. too expensive (unless you buy in bulk)

  3. and are way too sweet

Generally, consider them to be donuts like Big Mac's are to your regular Milk Bar hamburger.  At least donuts are confectionary, and you don't have to add a pickle to stop it being so!

20 July 2003

Today I have tried my first Krispy Kreme donuts!  Well I was kinda obsessing about them so I went and lined up for 15 minutes and bought them.  Now I feel sick!  And I only had 4!!

I warn you all to stay away from their "Devil Food' Donuts!!

19 July 2003

Well my team, St George Illawarra got up tonight in the NRL game against the Cowboys.  Check it out at http://www.nrl.com.au/.  Go the Saints!

Slow news today, good to see Frank Lowy gain control of Soccer Australia (see link).  That Les Avory needs a good hard kick in the arse!

PS - should be working on the links off this page soon!!

15 July 2003

Well I am up online, check it out at clayinfinity.tripod.com.  (Well you already are...) Nothing is working however, as all the links to other pages seems to be back to my hard drive.

Anyway, on other things... Work has been busy, home tonight at 10:30pm... should settle down by the end of the week.

12 July 2003

Ok here goes... the first Daily Diatribe...

At this stage, the site is yet to go online.  I have a few options of hosting.

My mate Siebs has reserved some space on https://www.tripod.com/ but I am not sure due to pop-ups etc.  There are other free hosting sites as well...

But my ultimate goal is to have my own online spot and the cost of hosting is really only $30 a month or so... (I'm yet to shop around in detail)
