Nicole Kidman (sigh) has just won a libel case against The Daily Mail (boo, hiss): Kidman wins libel case.

Utterly unimportant, yes. But we like Ms. Kidman, and we don't like The Daily Mail, so this is good. Yes?

Dan just mentioned that he recently threw away on old microwave oven that he didn't want any more. What a waste! This is what he should have done: Unwise Microwave Oven Experiments.

A very pleasant evening with Steve, Andy, and Andy's mate Tim last night. Much nerdy conversation. Topics included Australia, sking, surfing, blogging, learning and using Java, Python, work related cock-ups, our children, and, uh, the physical attributes of various women in our immediate environment.

Didn't manage to get drunk, though, despite our best efforts.

Update: Oh yes - we talked about RSS, too.

My colleague Tracey made a couple of armbands for my kids. Thanks, Tracey!

Now, back to database connection pooling. Ho hum...
