I’d be immensely entertained if someone actually did wind up buying a house after reading about it on a blog site, but I’m posting it here more for entertainment value than anything else.
I live here, in Kensington of the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. You may have where I live if you give me $AU1,150,000.
All interested parties are advised to comment using the form below… we weren’t going to auction it, but I’d be entertained if people decided to bid here, anyway. ;-)
p.s. We really are selling our house, but the spot about bidding in comments is a joke. Just to clarify.

I’m far from 100% happy with this, and am well aware that certain aspects of the website aren’t functional, however here it is! To be honest, it was my desire to share the below post with the world which hastened the delivery of this page, however there were other reasons, also.
Just for the record, when I said I ordered “Joahua” on my Year 12 jersey for next year, I wasn’t telling the whole truth — it is in fact “Joahua.com”. Now now, be nice to the geek.
Enjoy what content is visible on the front page for the time being, until my sub-pages and permalinks start working properly, at which time you can view full articles and comment to your hearts content!
Excuse me whilst I get back to hacking the world, or at least my blog. One baby step at a time…

After briefly attacking several .htaccess files, everything appears to be working in what may be described as a “normal” fashion. We’ll see if the normality lasts, as I’ve got a handful more things I wish to implement, and five days off in which I’m studying. Whilst my days will be filled with academic pursuits, my evenings have to be spent doing something, and working on this site is as good as anything else ;-)

Athletics carnival version 2 was today, and whilst less blatantly stupid than the last attempt our school put forward at such a thing, it still wasn’t great. At least the stupid half wasn’t left stuck at school, whilst the intelligent half were called in a vague attempt to make them return to that boring pointless hole when they could have been at home working far more productively on assessments, etc.
But I’m not going to start ranting about that one again, yet. Maybe later.
I ran in the 100m and came second in my heat, but it wasn’t a particulary fast race. I know this because my shoes were falling off and I still managed to come second. Alex Reid won the heat, but I doubt he was flat out, either… he got the lead at the start and then we both settled into cruise for the remaining 70m, as much as one does in short-distance races like that.
It started raining soon after, and as much as I had wanted to run, my desire to stay dry overpowered any urges to run 200m or 400m races… so I sat with people (Ben, Dale, Kylie, Max, Nick and Soolie + Crusty before they took off) quivering in the cold until the end of the day. At least it finished early ;-)
My house (that’d be Salisbury) tied in 3rd place, with the Evil Empire of York coming first, and Westminster scraping in at 8th place. Dale, it’s all your fault. Anti-participatory individual!
