It’s A SNAAAAKKKKEEE!!!

Palm snake

A neighbour knocked on the door and told us that there was a snake on our roof. By the time we found it it had changed from a roof snake to a palm snake.

Breakfast

Breakfast was tasty.

Longish, but not too long

Skin

This skin may be from the same python. But it looks too long for it to me. We have had bigger pythons in the back yard in the past.

I have no idea how kids are supposed to develop but in the past 6 months Liam has gone from potatoes with arms to full stick figures.

Had a visitor the other day. A Red Browed Firetail crashed into my back window and knocked itself out.

Spiders?

July 9th, 2009 | 3 Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Sunday night the spiders arrived. Wrist hurt as it usually does when I went to sleep, but when I awoke I had spiders in my wrist.

When my hand is extended the swelling is pretty much flat.

But when I clench my fist the lump pops up. The one behind the wrist doesn’t change at all.

Extended 1 extend-top-marked Extended 2

The big one spread in two stages. First it was right next to the wrist. Then another formed futher down my hand. Over the day they merged. The one behind the wrist showed up last. I was driving around a lot that day visiting docs and wot not, so that’s probably what made it worse. Haven’t done much since then however.

It aches a bit, only hurts when I extend my fingers or hold a glass etc. Hurts more the futher it extends. I feel a little twinge when I poke at it.

It feels like there is something in there – not fluid like, more slack muscle like. When fingers are extended it gets really hard like a clenched muscle (hurts a lot ot poke it then).

So is it spiders? or something else?

Need a new pooter

My laptop has decided it wants to kill itself. In addition to having heating issues and freezing all the time, last night it started making lovely ticking noises while reading sections of the hard drive.

So I’ve priced up the following desktop to replace it

Motherboard – Asus P6T Deluxe

CPU – i7 920

CPU Cooler – Noctua U12P

RAM – 3x 1Gig DDR3 Corsair

HDD – 4 x 500G WD

PSU – CoolerMaster 600W

Video – MSI GF9800GTX+

$2039

Additionally, as I need to visit clients I’m tossing on an EEE S101 because it looks sexy. I’ve found that for $877.

Total Price $2916

Hot Chocolate

November 24th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Came across a Guylian cafe in Changi on my way back from Cambodia the other day.

They sell the bestest hot chocolates I’ve ever seen.

Hot Chocolate

This came with a block of chocolate in the bottom of the cup (either Milk or Dark) and you pour the hot milk chocolate into the cup.

After you’ve finished you’re left with a gooey chocolatey mess in the bottom of the cup.

Yum. Next time I go through I’m having another.
