QotD: Oh Sorry, Did I Offend You?

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Fri, 16 May 2008 21:53:22 +1000

Who was the last person you offended? Submitted by May. My wife. I'm always offending my wife. That's just me, I guess, and she is who she is, which is easily offended. I speak plainly, and more so the older I get. She doesn't like to hurt feeli...

On Our Way

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Tue, 13 May 2008 21:24:22 +1000

Just in case you're wondering what's happening in my "Running Away" fantasy flight from Australia, to my $3m island in the Caribbean, here's the latest. As you might recall, at last mention we were stranded on Frigate Shoals, awaiting a couple of...

French Frigate Shoals or 'How I fucked up another flight plan'

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Mon, 05 May 2008 18:01:57 +1000

Yes indeed, Vox'ers. A t least those of you following my fantasy journey from my hum-drum existence to one I'd much rather be enjoying. Money not withstanding. Last post, as you'll recall (Ye Gods....I sound like an episode of 'Lost In Space') I'...

Social Networking for Oz

Just a brief note to alert Aussies to something I stumbled on yesterday. A social networking site aimed at Aussies. buzz.org.au. It's interesting and seems well laid out. Have a gander.

Sort of Stranded

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Sun, 04 May 2008 22:23:41 +1000

But at least I'm dry. Actually, both of us are dry. Me and the Aero Commander 500S. Today's leg, from Wake Island to Midway Island, kind of fell victim to a lack of attention which almost resulted in a virtual swim. Autopilots are wonderful things...

Getting There

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Thu, 01 May 2008 21:13:39 +1000

A fortnight ago, I wrote a little about my hobby of flightsimming. I was actually writing about my current escapade in fantasy land, whereby I'm flying a Rockwell Aero Commander 500S, or as it's marketed, a Shrike Commander, to a place I'd give a...

QotD: House Call

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Thu, 01 May 2008 19:29:30 +1000

Whose house (besides your own) were you in last and why? I don't go into other people's houses. Why the hell would you want to go into somebody else's house? Weird!

Beating The Drum

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:33:57 +1000

To my mind, allocating an excise on candied alcoholic drinks is a logical progression. Sure, it's yet another tax boon to the federal government, ought to be something encompassed by the GST, as should all taxes on consumables. However, this artic...

QotD: I'm So Excited

nobody@vox.com(NDC) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:34:21 +1000

What most excites you about the way you're living your life right now? Fuck all, really. If you call work-home-work-home five days a week, flight simming on weekends because I can't afford to do anything else, then I s'pose that's exciting. Fran...
