And We’re Done

Oui got the call this morning that his application for permanent residency has been approved so we’re flying out on the 21st of March, which unfortunately seems to be after the commencement of mass-protests by the red-shirts.

Talents of Unknown Origin

My last post got me thinking about my mum in a round about way. Besides playing the trumpet I also played the piano, which I learnt a few years after trumpet so I had to learn how to read bass clef at the same time. Luckily it was just a simple case of transposition from . . . → Read More: Talents of Unknown Origin

And Now For Some Music

It’s 3:21am and I can’t sleep, so here’s some music to enjoy from Mike Oldfields Music of the Spheres.

Leaving is Complicated

The company website (www.cibus.co.th) has gone through a number of iterations as I tried to decide the best way to do it. The current iteration runs on Drupal (version 6) and I implemented a limited install of Ubercart in the hope that someday I would fully implement it as a customer portal for ordering products . . . → Read More: Leaving is Complicated

That ‘New Undies’ Feeling

Yesterday I was thinking about some of the things Oui and I need to do before we leave Thailand, one of them being buy new clothes. I instantly thought of underwear because I need some new ones, which lead me to thinking about the experience of wearing a new pair of undies. I’m not talking about . . . → Read More: That ‘New Undies’ Feeling

I’m Ashamed of Myself

Last night I stayed up until 3am reading about different SSD’s (Solid State Drives) and basically drooling over getting a new PC when I’m in Sydney. I was planning how I might organise my data, probably buying one big and very expensive SSD for my OS and programs while having a regular drive for my . . . → Read More: I’m Ashamed of Myself
