It never rains but it pours…

*sigh*
Neither TasteSpotting nor FoodGawker have accepted any of the articles I’ve posted within the last two weeks.  Either my dodgy internet link is being particularly malicious or my photography skilz are less leet than usual.  Guess I’ll have to try harder, but this is so damn frustrating!!
And in news just in, my novelty cheeseburger cake [...]

Tastespotting is Back!!!

Yay!  Tastespotting (food porn par excellence!!!) has made a comeback!
*goes mad with the ra-ra gear*
I don’t know how or why, but it’s back (and no longer a part of the not.cot stable) and it’s beautiful.  There’s been a little redesign, but essentially it’s as it was and that makes me happy.
Other food-porn has sprung up [...]

New House – Can’t sleep….walls too noisy

Well, life has been busy here at the Parramatta Eels Wonder House.  Preparations continue to paint the horrible American Cheese walls and I have been out in the yard tearing the sad vegetable garden completely apart.  Compost bins have been purchased and half-filled already and I’ve just finished digging out a dead tree from the [...]

Tastespotting Part 2

Ladies and gennulmun, there is a new contender for the Tastespotting crown!  With only 75 posts (and counting) it has been live for only a little time. 
I give you (via SlashFood) ….  Food Gawker
They acknowledge that they are a homage to Tastespotting and list a small number of rules-of-usage on their About page.  Registration is [...]

Tastespotting is No More

Alas, the legal rats out in the metaverse have added another notch to their weasely belts – Tastespotting has been folded up and done away with.
Apparently there were legal issues with usage of photographs on the site – what that might be, I couldn’t say.  I was a contributor (caveat: I contributed only my own [...]

We’re Back! Huzzah!!!

After mammoth problems with Virgin Broadband, we’re now onto a new (and temporary until we find something with huge downloads for not much money) ISP. 
AND seeing as the kitchen is now sorted and fully stocked (with new appliances too, moreover!) things are pretty much back to normal.  Of course, I’m typing this from a folding [...]

Touch of Death

Further to the general shittiness regarding internet access, I was trying to keep myself amused by watching SBS last night when – without any warning whatsoever – the TV picture started doing strange things and refusing to turn off.  I’d just got to my feet to unplug it when there was a ferocious hissing noise [...]

Virgin Internet sucks

Due to the fact that Virgin oversold their broadband by an order of magnitude, their formerly brilliant service has degenerated due to complete  network overload.  As a result, dial-up speeds (if lucky) do not make a happy household, particularly when you’re trying to run VOIP phones and faxes.  I’ve lost orders due to their shennanigans [...]
