Old Friends

It was a great pleasure for Anne and I to dine with this city's pre-eminent Guitarist: Kevin Higgins, Jerri-Lynn and our old friend Steve Foster from the left coast. An evening full of good food, friends and laughter in the dead of winter is like water in the desert. I'm sorry but I forgot the name of the good-looking woman who was with us. my long and happy married life has trained me out of remembering the names of beautiful women. I have enough trouble trying to remember how to spell Jerad.

New Platform & Browser

I've upgraded to the latest version of BSD & Ubuntu and Firefox with the latest Java RE and Flashplayer licences. I still cannot navigate my stupid "ShopFactory" website so I'll just wipe it ASAP. The new K-Desktop is brilliant! Fast, secure and fully automated, The latest Linux is miles ahead of the competition.

Dragon Boat Paddle Certification

Word has just arrived that a copy of the proposed Frenchman's Bay Kayak Works Dragon Boat Paddle has arrived in Australia. After a tortuous three month journey by surface post it has arrived in one piece! Ray Woodcock, the I.D.B.F. rep in the antipodes is examining the paddle. Mike Thomas, his counterpart in Great Britain is doing the same. Soon the I.D.B.F. will make it's decision to grant us licence for international competition. This is a moment of great moment.
