Danger Will Robinson! Missing Images Ahead!

Okay, because of the blogging software I used to use, the root directory of Nelefa.org is teeming with thousands of image files which, as well as making the site a pain in the neck to maintain, is offending my sense of order. So, I’m going to be deleting the whole lot and reuploading them via

Latest Dates

Blimey! You’re a keen lot! Traffic does a little bit of a jump on Tuesdays – must be because it’s the only day I have anything to say! Anyway, applications for the Skilled Australian Sponsored visa subclass which were lodged between the 14th and 22nd of November are currently being allocated case officers. This means

Riding a bike – again

Dot’s turn this time. She decided she was going to ride her bike, yesterday, and asked for the training wheels off. Then she just kinda got on with it. Minimal help from mum and dad, just wanted to do it her way. And here she is, in all her newly mobile glory. Edit: Erm, well,

Why Wikipedia is Great

Because it’s just easy to lose yourself for an hour at lunchtime. Today’s reading took me from Homer Simpson to Legendary Kings of Britain, via the following route: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Simpson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maude_Flanders#Untimely_Death http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumped_the_shark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_night_death_slot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Britons Genius!

World of Warcraft (PC)

Well, Trollbert has a new pet to keep Clawbert company in the stables. He’s a cat, of sorts. In fact – he’s specifically this cat: He was a level 10 Elite who got on my nerves a few times back in Mulgore, cos he has insane attack speed. Pretty easy to tame with a level

Moving on (though not so swiftly)

We’re really in the final throes of things. It’s entirely possible that we may have the visa granted in the next month. But with the house sale falling through, everything seems so very far off at the moment. For the prospective migrants that this site is aimed at, I just can’t describe what the waiting

November 1st – November 15th

I’m not sure I understand these dates at all. I guess they’re just a broad guideline – although these look fine, it appears the processing window has only moved forward three days at the front and one at the end, which is very slow progress. Still, it does seem to leap forward a fortnight every

Nintendo DS Lite

It’s smaller, it’s lighter, it’s possible to hold for long periods of time without catching gamer-claw, it looks beautiful – not a million miles away from an iBook – the displays are brighter than the sun, and I love it to death. Yup – it’s birthday time, nelefans, and this year I have a nice

New Super Mario Bros (Nintendo DS)

It’s about time there was a new Super Mario Bros game, and this one if just sheer genius. It uses 3D models instead of 2D sprites, but it’s very much a traditional 2D Mario side scroller. And thank god for that – Mario in 3D is great but 2D is where he really shines. So,
