That description made him extremely easy to spot when he came round the corner.

We had a nice lunch, ended up having a drink and chips at Sweeney’s, and while we were talking they came round with a plate of fruit for us. That was odd.

Anyway Ben, thanks for making the trip – I hope you didn’t get fired for getting back to work late!Piratical

RodeoClown: pensive pirate.

My new laptop arrived today, and it feels and looks nicer, runs faster, and cost around a grand less, despite being better in every single department (by an order of magnitude in some respects).

That actually has very little to do with my laziness and procrastination in writing. I have several posts in the works, and hopefully they will actually turn up on the site soon.

RodeoClown: gets expensive toys. But only rarely.

RodeoClown: wonderfully wizard-like.

Finally I have overtaken Prof. Ian Tyrrell at UNSW, who may or may not be the author of a series of historical books, and who seems to dominate the rest of the result page.

Of course, google is pretty fickle, so I may only rule the results of my ego-search for a few moments, but I will remember this moment for the rest of my life at least a day or so.

RodeoClown: enjoying it while it lasts [for some value of 'it'].

I just downloaded the latest ep of The Poddy in under 20 seconds.
Haven’t heard it yet, but those guys are well worth listening too.

RodeoClown: tubular.

Sam has been whining on Facebook that no-one has linked to their latest video (he’s acting like a child already!) showing the artist within being outed. In order to appease him, please, follow this link. Recording the outcomes of their daily escapism is a great idea.

They also write lots of other great stuff, and for that reason you should read their archives and subscribe to their RSS feed.

That link again: this link.

RodeoClown: fellow artist.

See if you can spot the change.
Kudos to the first spotter.

RodeoClown: ever-changing.

Of course I took it :)

The ads are labelled as such, and are on a couple of older posts.

Not really too important, but it’s always nice when someone emails you and offers you money.

RodeoClown: richer (but not by much)
