The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Yup – apparently so. There’s been no movement whatsoever, of course, but then we expected that. We’re very much in limbo at the moment. I’m having various conversations at work about handovers and we’re looking around for flights and planning a leaving party, but there’s nothing we can actually commit to at present. It’s looking

Or at least I have it on good authority that we do. Debbie has been in a mad surfing frenzy this morning, but as I’m at work I haven’t had the opportunity to witness its bandwidthy goodness first hand. So, importantly, this means I can continue Trollbert’s long march to level 40, get my podcasts

Second single, “Operation Ground and Pound” from the Inhuman Rampage album is out and, for those who don’t already have the album, it’s a beaut. As ever, they’ve punted the video for the single on Youtube, so here it is.

So, have a look up top there. See that bit that says fifteen months and one week? Well, let me enlighten you. The first fourteen months and three weeks of that are a cakewalk. Sure, you hop from panic to panic – first you worry about getting stuff together for the skills assessment, then you

Once again, nelefa.org suffers from net withdrawal symptoms. I really haven’t been doing much in the way of gaming because of the amount of annoying real life stuff that’s being organised. We’ve moved house, now, so things are a little more settled and a lot less stressful, so that’s always good. New Super Mario Bros

The police clearances from Scotland Yard arrived this morning and I’ve couriered them along to our agent. The whole bundle is being pulled together today and sent by courier to Adelaide. So that’s absolutely everything we need to do. Our sponsor still has a few non-DIMA related loose ends to tie up at the far

Adelaide pulled a blinder on us a few weeks ago. When they asked for medicals and police checks to be done, they also said that – as there had been some stationary changes – we should resubmit the WHOLE application on the new stationary. I’m glad I didn’t do the application myself or I’d have

Well, medicals have been sent off, sponsorship and assurance of support are in hand, but there’s nothing more we can do until the police reports arrive, so we’re sitting on our hands once again. The medicals will likely have arrived in Sydney by now, so at least that’s one thing out of the way. Once
