http://blog.acountrypractice.com Wandin Valley Bush Nursing Hospital and a Country Practice updates and news Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:53:45 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Periodically, I come across auctions on eBay in which the sellers are being either extraordinarily greedy or incredibly ignorant of the price points of the items they're selling. Someone is currently selling a collection of A Country Practice articles for $199.99 AUD. Most of the other items they're selling are either ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2008/06/17/greedy-or-ignorant/ Went looking today to see if the old Delphi forum I'd created was still there. It is. Hasn't been touched really since about 2002 or so -- hasn't been in active use since 2001-ish. But it's all still there. What a blast from the past. You want to know about ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2008/05/14/reminiscing/ After a (long overdue) kick in the butt e-mail yesterday (thanks, Ben), I went looking at the site. It's been a year since I did more than update the DVD stuff. I haven't even really looked at it since about November 2007. Blog: I can't for the life of me remember ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2008/05/10/she-lives/ Wow, have I really not posted in here since November of last year? My bad. My extremely big bad. I could have at least posted to say that the forum is temporarily offline. That would have been the decent thing to do, wouldn't it. We were getting SQL errors and so ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2005/09/09/where-in-the-world-is-kitty/ I like to do the odd bit of bidding in eBay (usually on Australian magazines, I'm sure you can guess why). Some of the magazine auctions must have their respective sellers just shaking their heads at how high the bidding goes. It has me laughing for the most part, even when ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2004/11/10/the-lucrative-world-of-aussie-mags/ Been thinking about all the things I need to do on the site and, of course, as I'm thinking of that, other possibilities keep coming to mind. The visual redesign of the site is going much faster now and hopefully that will be ready before the end of August. Once ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2004/07/30/magnolia-vale/ I suppose it's a sign that somehow or another this little really insignificant blog is turning up somewhere in the search engines but I could really do without the drive-by blog spammers. Blog spammers are people who hunt down blogs where they can post their crappy links to their crappy, ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2004/07/14/grrrr/ Just learned that Yahoo is improving their Mail Plus! service to something that actually makes me think kind thoughts about Yahoo for a change. I wonder if it is in response to the competition waiting in the wings from Google's Gmail which offers (or rather will offer, when it is ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2004/06/18/competition-is-good/ Dropped off Mots at the vet's this morning to get his teeth cleaned. Nothing major but they have to put him under in order to do it. He hasn't had to have general anaesthesia since he got neutered when he was a baby and he's a lot older than that ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2004/05/10/adventures-at-the-bytown-cat-hospital/ Thought you might like to see a sample of what the new site design is going to look like... [click the image to see a larger -- full-ish sized -- version of it] Some details of it might change before I unveil the whole site but that's pretty much what it's going ... http://blog.acountrypractice.com/2004/04/22/a-sneak-peak/
