Well. I stopped posting to my web site after Christmas 2001, shorly after I moved to Perth. The reasons I have not done this are multiple.
(1) My hard drive was wiped out by something after Xmas 2001. It took me almost a month to recover the critical missing data. I still run into corrupted data.
(2) Spending that much time fixing problems just to get back to where I started burned me out on the computer. The last thing I wanted to do when I got home was spend time on the PC.
(3) There really hasn't been much super exciting going on.
Recently I noticed that Google has a much improved free blogger service. It is faster and easier to use than update my web site. So I decided to convert. This way it will be easier to toss updates on line as the mood hits me.
To summarise what has been going on. In June 2002 I rented a beach house in Cottesloe and moved in. I've lived there ever since. It is an asesome little place and I am very happy there. I has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, on 2 floors. I rent out some of the other rooms to help me pay the rent.
I've had an interesting parade of sub-renters in my house over the last couple of years. I write more about them later.
I'm still working at IBM. Doing the same thing. Nothing exciting to report there. My visa was renewed. I can now work here until late 2008.
After two years I finally broke down an bought a car. It is a 1994 Ford Laser, which is really just a rebadged Mazda 323 station wagon. It is old, but in good shape for the age and I got it for a good price.
I've been back to the US twice. More about those trips later.
Elena came out in April 2002 and her and I took a trip to Singapore and Malaysia. She came out for 2 months in 2003 and we went down south to Margeret River. This year she came out for 3 months and we went up to Broome.
I'll write more about those trips when I can.
Everything is good. I've made some good friends here and I really enjoy my life.
Again. Sorry about the info gap. I was just seriously burned out.
Cheers!
Ron
