Art Gallery of NSW
Posted Jul 26, 2001
Yesterday we went to visit the 'Renoir to Picasso' exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW. This consisted of some of the works from the Musee de l'Orangerie, Paris
As expected it was fairly crowded as the Exhibition only runs till this coming Sunday.
Luckily we got our son to sleep in his stroller before we got into the Gallery so we had arelatively peaceful time.
It was interesting looking at the paintings I had studied at University so long ago and without getting to see the originals! Oh, the life of a colonial...
We decided that of the artisits included Cezanne and Picasso were our favourites and Renoir and Rousseau our least favourite. I was sad that there were no Braques to compare with the few Picassos from the 1910's, though the NSW gallery has a few in its permanent collection.
I'm going to take C there again sometime soon so that we can go over other parts of the Gallery in more detail.

Wierd, Screwy things in my way of life
Posted Jul 15, 2000
Some days, you just know that life is going to be a trial.
Well, it appears that today is going to be one of those days. I guess I should explain myself, so it started like this: "A number of years ago, in a distant country, a young woman met a young man. They liked each other a lot, ". Ummm, maybe I don't need to include quite so much history in this article?
The pertinant details are much more recent, so lets just focus on those shall we? Yes, I think that that is a better option. When I started the web browser this morning, my wife said: "How come you get a different page when you load my H2G2 than when I do?".
This wasn;t the first time that she had said this, but this was the first time I took any notice. (Ahhh, domestic bliss.)
When I looked closer, I noticed that we were loading "www.h2g2.com/A2000" instead of our normal "www.h2g2.com". The second thing that I noticed was that H2G2 was reporting our e-mail address incorrectly. (It said I was someone else from our obscure ISP in our obscure sparesly populated corner of the globe.) So we logged in again, and lo and behold, up came the SAME PAGE!
So, things have gone from strange, to wierd (and I supposed that the sublime cannot be too far off now 
. Now I am adding a journal entry, HOPING that it will come up on my page, but half suspecting that it will come up on the other one....

Fixed itself
Posted May 30, 2000
As with all strange goings on in computers the problem I was experiencing with my home page miraculously fixed itself over night. I have my suspicions that it was cookie related, but without much digging around in the directories and files etc this cannot be confirmed.
Please browse through the articles I am in the process of writing, but remember they are only drafts at present. When finished I will update the intro with links etc.
