KryptoniteDate: 16/10/2011 Mood: Stabby Listening to: Top rated songs on shuffle Well I have found my kryptonite! I like to think I'm pretty easy-going, not able to be riled up easily but I have found my weakness: crap basketball referees!
Thankfully it doesn't happen that often (have a game about once a quarter where I get this annoyed) which out of about 90 games a year isn't that bad but when it does happen I just get so pissed off. I tried reading tonight but every page my mind would wander off to thinking about some decision they got really wrong and I would have to re-read sections. It just makes me so mad!! This time even more so as they couldn't even provide a basketball (good work Melbourne East Basketball Association) and we had to use mine (glad we are paying $50 per game for that!). Now I remember why I quit refereeing - in case I got stuck with either of the two tonight!
*Tries to go to my happy place* Nope not working!
Anyways been busy sporting it up in the hope of losing weight. Been playing basketball twice a week, tennis and squash. Also occasionally making it to the gym for that extra little workout (I can squat 90kg!). Lost a bit of weight but have gained better endurance.
I have also completed Halo: Reach and Gears of War 3 (on hardcore level even! I do that on the days I'm too sore to do other exercise  ).
Feeling less stabby now. Maybe I should do this more often
Slowly marching towards my 500,000 visitor (over nearly 10 years so not really that impressive). I should rebuild my site one of theres months, been playing with AJAX and jQuery so I can do some pretty cool stuff now 
PS Happy Birthday Clark!
Not dead!Date: 12/05/2011 Mood: Excitedly tired Listening to: Kanye West Contrary to popular belief I'm not dead.
Yeah it has been a while since I updated. Been working and distracted by the pretty pictures on the TV. Been playing Bioshock, Starcraft 2, Borderlands and Red Dead Redemption way too much (Borderlands was awesome, spent about 120 hours playing it. I'm an awesome sniper Red Dead Repemption was OK, you have to save a lot as you are likely to be killed at any time!).
Been pretty quiet on the photography front. I ended up winning the HDR category of the Shoot My City and took a heap of photos at Big Day Out.
On the plus side (well for me anyway), my domain is now registered until 2020 (sorry other Steve's if you were planning on taking it ).
I have come to the conclusion that I should start sticking to virtual sports instead of real ones. I'm leading the office tipping contest and won all three of my supercoach and dreamteam matchups. I think I'm currently on a four game losing streak at basketball and Vinnie killed me 4 games to 1 at squash on the weekend.
Anyways, thats it for me.
Later,
Steve
About time!Date: 06/09/2010 Mood: Drooling moron mode Listening to: Ipod shuffle Ohh an update. I'm sure after this long it must nearly be a sign of the end of times!
After a great start to the year, I ran out of happy and had been running on fumes since. I have taken a heap of photos which are just sitting on my photos drive (and probably won't get processed unless I need them for a photo competion).
At least some fun things are happening now. I'm writing this on my phone while on the train on the way home from work (That is my excuse for any spelling or grammar errors )
I have also been at my new job for about a month now! (Hi Dialog IT  ) It's really testing (which I like) and I have been learning a lot of new technology (Hi linq and .Net 4) but the early mornings are getting to me (I'm so not a morning person!)
Just finished another season of basketball where we came runners-up in D reserve. Got a lovely plaque to celebrate that fact
I recently signed up for twitter and realised there is nothing there if you don't want to do anything except listen to celebrity brain farts (finding people is a nightmare, as is finding any topic not related to celebrity or sports people). I might just use the account to become a twitter shitter
Ohhh two stops from home now - this is a better waste of time than sodoku! (Takes about as much time too :p)
Things I want to achieve in the next couple of months:
Update this site to .Net 3.5 or 4
Complete some of the Microsoft .Net developer tests
Lets see how I go with those goals
An Update, My Kindom For An UpdateDate: 29/01/2010 Mood: Happy Listening to: Kasabian Yay! An update finally. Been a bit preoccupied with a project I have been working on lately. I have nearly finished it

The Big Day Out was great! It was a great line-up and I was able to sneak my camera in (I did try to do the right thing and request permission but never got a response so I figure it is fair enough).
The low-light was missing Lily Allen flashing her boob 
I have also been caffeine free for over four weeks now - not sure how long I will last with though.
My new years resolutions are:
Ride a lot more
Lose weight
Stay off the Coke
I pretty much completed the no coke resolution last year (I had some in Japan but only because I couldn't find sprite or mt dew).
I have also become addicted to pitch and putt. I'm getting better at it but I can't get my close in pitching right yet 
Anyway, that is the belated updated.
Later,
Steve
Scott 24 Hour RaceDate: 13/10/2009 Mood: Happy Listening to: Top rated songs Photos from the Scott 24 Hour race:
Friends at the Scott
Random shots at the Scott
I took about a 1000 photos and whittled them down to 91 (it could have been a lot more but there is only so many times you can see someone you don't know jumping before you go "meh")
