The church map is progressing very nicely - Rob is doing an awesome job. I still have dreams for my map and ideas on how I want to change it - but it's in a playable form and whilst not a classic enjoyable. Rob's church map - will, of course and quite rightly be a classic. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

Absolutely awesome! Apple once again have set the new standard for PC and cemented their position as the BMW or Porshe or the computer industry.
Anyway, it's 6am now and I think I'll just grab a couple of more hours sleep before hitting the day.
Last Sunday we played my new quake map and I got a positive response, it's not finished yet, and I will probably keep on working on it during the holidays. Rain last night has eased the fire threat just a little in the Blue Mountains but lot of fires are still burning around the state. [Comment] [GuestBook] [Archive]

The fires continue around the edges of metropolitan sydney. Praise God for the fireys and the lessons they learnt in 1994. This is the worst set of fires ever in Australia since white settlement noticed them. 14 days now and another week or more to go. I thank God that no lives have been lost and property loss has been kept to a minimum.
Steve is back from down the south coast and so there is a person in the house again - this is good - it's funny how you get used to the noises of a person in the house and when they are not there it can be very off putting. It's been a loing time since I had a night of being freaked out [happened a couple of times when I first moved out and lived alone] - things are pretty benign in Toongabbie.
I might work on the new site over the next few days - even if it is just to include this blog into the current format of the page.
