Why are you still here?

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan Tallack) — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:17:00 +0000

You really should be reading my Facebook or Google+ page. There is really nothing here anymore.

Not friended on Facebook or not in my Google+ circle, then you are likely not someone I know so stop stalking me! :P

Someday...

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 20:39:00 +0000

Sometimes life changes too much while you are not paying attention, and then you suddenly realise you have no idea who you are.

But this is who I was. I was me.

Stupid Widget

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Sun, 03 May 2009 17:38:00 +0000

Just realised the stupid Mac widget I was using to post blogger entries was mussing up all of the code and putting tags in the cleartext.

Lame.

Now I have to stop being so lazy and post properly via the website. :P

Can't sleep. :(

What happened to the weekend?

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:59:00 +0000

Wow, that weekend went by pretty quick.  :|

Girlie was sick with the flu.  Somehow I have managed to escape it.  Stayed in most of the weekend.  Went to her mom's place for dinner Saturday night though.  Her mom is a fantastic cook.  :)

Damn it is hot over here.  Hot and humid.  I suspect now that it is possible for a person to actually drown in a pool of their own sweat.  :(

Back at work.  Not sure where this week will bring me.  Wish the Australian's would hurry up and lock down some dates so I can know when I am traveling there.  I suspect it will not be this week though.  That is sure to mean India for me.  :(

Must run.  Plenty of work to do, and not enough time to do it.

Wow, you can put HEAPS more words here than in your facebook status.  ;)

Facebook makes me lazy!

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:37:00 +0000

Yeah yeah, I know I have not posted in ages.  But it's Facebook's fault.  It makes me VERY lazy.  But I really should not use it, because many people want to see what I am up to (I know, hard to believe!), and not everyone is on my Facebook account.

So, I will endevour to make regular posts.  I have popped a widget on my desktop so that it is very easy for me to do it.  No spell checking though, so tough luck if you have a problem with my bad spelling.  :)

I miss you all.  Well.... not all.  But most of you... Ok, some of you.  :)

OCBC Website Gone?

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:06:00 +0000

I know they have been in trouble recently for their investment dealings with their customers, but this is just silly. One of the biggest banks here in Singapore, OCBC, has disappeared from the interweb! (gasp)

For those of you smart enough to understand, whois queries show that ocbc.com and ocbc.com.sg are both using the singnet nameservers to host their records.

If you query those nameservers for the records (dnssec1.singnet.com.sg and 2 and 3), they reply saying they do not hold authoritive records for those domains. Um mar!!!

Bad bad bad!!! Wonder how long it has been that way. I hope it is just broken. I hope they are not gone. :|

Singapore

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 02:03:00 +0000

Righto. As usual, I have neglected my blog. I'll dispense with the usual promise of blogging more regularly. I'd like to, but I just can't seem to find the time or motivation to do it that much.

For those who don't keep in touch or are not on my Facebook, I have moved to Singapore. Yeah, I know. Big change! But hey, could be worse. I could have moved to Alice like I was always threatening. May still yet. ;)

Anyhow, will try to keep updated. If you are a friend and want to get more regular updates than I am putting here, then add me on Facebook. Otherwise, hang in there. :)

Gotta run. Email's await my attention.

Blogging From My iPhone

You know, I could really get used to this iPhone idea. :)

It is just so damn convenient. And with all these apps, there seems to be no end to what you can do with it!

Apple have a winner here. ;)

Only 8 more sleeps till I leave! :) Over to Singapore, then to Phuket for a week, then back to Singapore, then over to Bangkok for a few days, then back to Singapore again, then home.

Did you get all that? :)

Crazy Man

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 22:23:00 +0000

Was up late last night, trying to catch up on some work. It is slow boring work that I am doing, and I fell asleep in front of my computer. :(

Woke up this morning at the table, neck and back killing me. Freaked out because the time was 8am and I thought I forgot to set the alarm and was late for work. :(

Ran around like a madman, getting showered and dressed for work. About to ring boss and beg his forgiveness for being late. Then realise it is Saturday morning!!!

I REALLY need this holiday that is coming! But for now, too much work to do and not enough time to do it. Back to work!

Man, my neck and back are killing me! :(

Neglect

noreply@blogger.com (Nathan) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:18:00 +0000

I'm sorry my darling blog. I do love you, and I don't mean to neglect you!!!

(chuckle) Yeah, I know! I have problems... :P I have been reprimanded for neglecting my blog recently. What's new. You can see a pattern of neglect over the years, so you'd think it would be OK to stick to the pattern. After all, we are creatures of habit right? ;)

I'm pretty drugged up at the moment, so you'll have to excuse my ranting. The neuralgia pain in my face and head has been getting out of control. The referred pain is giving me severe headaches and is making me feel like I have a bad earache and toothaches. :( So I have taken some medication to reduce the nerve pain, and to help combat the side effects of that I have taken some other medication to "perk me up". Ahhh, nothing like some good ol' poly pharmacy to make things interesting. :P

Work is as crazy as always. So must work to get done, but not enough people or time to do it. :( I am keeping my head above water, but at a significant cost to my personal life. I balance the rewards against the effort, and so far work looks like the right thing to do, but I do miss her. :(

Could do with some more sleep. Had a bad migraine last night from this nerve pain, which is why I am drugged up tonight. But the drugs are keeping me awake worse than the migraine last night. Too many more of these 3 hour sleep cycles is going to cause a serious problem for me I think.

Anyhow, I'll see if I can do the right thing and start making regular entries again. They'll likely just be short and sweet journal entries, because that is all I have the time for. But I'll do my best to make them somewhat informative and entertaining.

On the topic of neglect. For friends and loved ones out there, I'm sorry for neglecting you all. I'll see you as soon as I can get away from work. Until then, the blog will have do.

Must run. Cops is on. :D My love to those who deserve it.

One of the guys at work had his photo snapped today when he was sitting on a chair at a primary school he was doing some work at.

The big bugger looks hillarious sitting on this little chair. He said I could blog the picture if I hid his face (he is a dentist you know!). :P

This is what the engineers get up to at work when they are bored.

The Village People wannabe in the pic just returned from a construction site. That accounts for the helmet, but the high visibility wife beater..... (shakes head)
