Max's Miscellaneous Musings

A crusty old biker out on a long summer ride in the country pulls up to a tavern in the middle of nowhere, parks his bike and walks inside. As he passes thru the swingin' doors, he sees a sign hanging over the bar: COLD BEER: $2.00 HAMBURGER: $2.25… more »

Are there any real women who walk like this? Aside from the models themselves, I mean? more »

b2evo lets me see what keywords people used to find my site. The latest one was a google search for the term "drugfucked young girls". Who in the fuck would search for something like that? :crazy: Worse, my site was the NUMBER ONE HIT for these ter… more »

I am, of course, referring to the "clean feed", in which people in the Australian government make decisions on my behalf, about what I should and shouldn't be able to see on the interwebs. The government seems to think that imposing web filtering on eve… more »

I found this cool b2evo plugin that crossposts my maxxxie.net blog to my LJ. So.. LJ friends.. just when you thought you'd seen the back of me.. I'm baaaaaack! :>> :>> :>> more »

After umming and ahhing about going for a ride this afternoon, I headed out at 3pm, with the intention of doing the Nudgee 40Km ride. I figured that'd give me two hours of daylight to go for a ride, it'd be getting a bit cooler, and all would be good.… more »

... and he's Chinese. Hands up anyone who's surprised.:no: There were two things I found really interesting about this article. First is - Botnets are alive and well. For all the antivirus and antimalware programs out there, we - the IT community -… more »

So says the card sent to me by my sisters-in-law, congratulating me on my imminent graduation. I always love receiving cards from these two, as it's never off-the-shelf pulp. They're always different, enlightening and uplifting. I like that quote very… more »

What. A. Day. I knew today would be a shopping expedition from hell, and it did turn into a really shit day. It did, however, end on a positive note. First up, MaxBabe and I decided we'd visit Elio Moda in Chermside so that she could buy herself a… more »

I just had the most vivid, horrible nightmare. In it, I was attending graduation. We'd flown down to Wagga and were basically separated from the moment we touched down. I found our hotel and someone put our bags into the hotel room. MaxBabe basically… more »

Well, the winners of the Borders chain book comp have been announced. My entry pales in comparison to some of these. The other day, I pulled out my Wii Fit with the intent of doing some of the yoga stretches. That done, I decided to do some of the h… more »

I have nothing of merit to post today, so I present to you some light-hearted, "idiot"-themed images: more »

... to finding the mythical shiny, purple shirt that I want to wear to graduation. I swear I've seen OB wearing this shirt in an episode of SVU, but fucked if I'm going to watch every episode in the hopes of finding it. I've been doing google searches… more »

Today I went for a ride with BestMate/RidingBuddy. Talk about a perfect day for riding. The weather was absolutely superb. I had the ride of my life too, with an average speed of 23 point something Kph, which is just a touch under my PB. Independentl… more »

Now, I know I've probably mentioned Olivia Benson a lot in my last few posts. In fairness, everyone has someone they think is totally hot. This chick is the goods. I particularly wanted to find a pic of Benson in one of her suits, but I just cannot fi… more »

So yesterday, I decided to go suit shopping. The goal was to find something nice to wear at my graduation, and perhaps something to wear to job interviews. We went to Chermside and made a beeline for Myer. I've never really shopped in the women's sect… more »

Whenever I find myself thinking that the world has gone to shit, I have only to do a google search to find something to make me laugh. A search on, of all things, "olivia benson clothes" returned this image hit: :>>:>>:>>:>> more »

I was on the Borders website the other day, and discovered a competition. The competition is basically this: some famous author that I've never heard of writes the first and last chapters to a book. 28 lucky winners write a chapter each to fill in the… more »

I've just realised that tomorrow is weigh-in day, and there's no avoiding the gain, so I'm not going to cry about it. What's done is done. Move on, get over it, tomorrow is another day etc etc. This weekend's going to be busy. I'm going to a Bike W… more »

I've put on a shitload of weight the last couple weeks. I'm talking kilos. I haven't exercised enough and I haven't eaten properly, so it's really no surprise. I don't want to have to spend the rest of my life exercising like crazy or watching every s… more »

#1: I am still on the never-ending hunt for a new bike. I went into NRG cycles at Jindalee yesterday and had a chat with them. They asked me if I'd considered a women's-specific bike, and I have to say it hadn't even occurred to me. Anyway, they asked… more »

I went for a nice 30Km ride today. It felt great. The weather is just perfect for riding - not too hot, not too cold, a nice breeze. I'm very happy about being back on the bike. I have a 30-something Km ride tomorrow with BestMate and a friend from B… more »

Three days into my deal with myself to ride every other day, and I have faltered. I got up today at 0430, all raring to go. I'd put out all my riding gear the night before so I could just jump into my clothes and jump onto the bike. Minor problem: it… more »

Day one back at work after a week off, and within minutes I wanted to throttle everyone within reach. Lots of dumb stuff, but the last straw was yet another fuckup related to this fucking printer project. I lost it and emailed the boss that I was a hai… more »

I learnt a few days ago that there is someone even nerdier than me, and he is graduating with a GPA of 7. When I first heard about it, my heart sank and I was uber-disappointed. :'( I thought that I didn't even want to attend the graduation anymore.… more »
