Ok. Yes, I'm aware that it's been a year and a half since I posted anything here. To be honest with you, I just haven't had time. And since I just had to spend a bit of time migrating all my misc sites over to a new server, and actually make them all work again, I noticed that I've been rather lax in my posting..
But I do have at least a minimal excuse for neglecting the stuffclub, (and the other four or so sites that don't even have pages on them) as I've moved over to Nagoya Japan, and life has been more than a wee bit hectic for the past year or so. However, I do have fiber-optic, symmetrical, Gbit internet in my house, so life isn't that hard.
If you want to read up on it, my (also seldomly updated, though not near as neglected at the poor old stuffclub) page is at Nomihodai Nagoya.
Cheers!
We were discussing at work the other day, that bacon is the universal condiment. We couldn't think of one food that isn't improved by the addition of bacon. Even bacon ice-cream doesn't sound that un-appealing. But the problem is getting bacon in a shaker. Or harder yet, getting the bacon that you've shoved in a shaker, out.
Really. Imagine that. It's been, what, almost two years now?
Well, I finally got around to recovering the admin password for this site (yes, I'm a putz), and that means that I can actually post again, have I something interesting to say.
While that might be stretching it a little, let's give it a try, shall we?
Cheers!
Ok. I'm moving to Norway..
From the article :
“I turned on the tap to clean some knives and forks and beer came out,” Haldis Gundersen told Reuters from her home in Kristiansund, in west Norway. “We thought we were in heaven.”

Pretty much everyone enjoys a nice soak in a hot-tub. It's much fun to either soak away the day's sore muscles by yourself, or enjoy some wine and companionship in a relaxing setting.
The problem that many people who are the owners, not the users of hot-tubs are the cost of running them. The cost of the chemicals, and more importantly, the cost of heating them. Not to mention that if you want to take it to your cabin in the mountains, you're relegated to the soft-sided propane-fired versions.
Not so anymore.
