Alledgedly, the DIMIA are processing non-priority applications lodged between 10th and 17th October. I think it’s safe to assume we’ll have heard from a case officer before the end of June – probably in the next two weeks. The interminable waiting is just horrible – we have the points, we have the skills and the

She’s a Maverick Nun, who doesn’t do things by the Good Book, and she’s out to avenge the death of, well, Jesus I suppose. It’s like a bad cop movie! BBC NEWS | UK | Da Vinci code nun ‘not genuine’

This is a strange book. It’s actually two, really, and although both are set in the same world with essentially the same technology, they’re several hundreds of millions of years apart and very different in style. The McGuffin (there’s always one, isn’t there?) is ‘The Bobbler’. It’s a device which can create a perfect sphere

Well, in a manner of speaking. The couple who are buying our house have finally accepted an offer on their house, so things on that front won’t be hanging in limbo. We still have no idea how to work it. Basically, we have two options: 1) The easy option. Stay where we are until it’s

The main thrust of the seminar, though, was to mingle with other people

Had a few emails form people looking for a progress update. There haven’t been any new posts made for a while because, well, there’s nothing to say.

Ok, so Nintendo have announced that the console codenamed revolution is going to be called the Wii. I have to say that, much though I’m looking forward to this console being the saviour of gaming, that is the worst name I’ve ever heard heard. I can see it now – people wandering into Gamestation. “Hi,

According to Adelaide Skilled Processing Center, we have another 6 or 7 weeks before a case officer is allocated. Guh. That’s a while. Absolutely nothing we can do about it, though. Here’s hope they don’t move the goalposts again within that time.

We’re still in the throes of attempting to clear out some of the rubbish we have. As part of the process, I’ve ordered a pile of really useful boxes from, er, reallyusefulboxes.com . As you might expect, they’re boxes and they’re really useful. Ordered a few dirty great big ones for the copious quantities of
