Update
People have been emailing me and telling me off for not updating my blog and for that I am truly sorry. If you want to know when I put stuff up, put your email address in the subscribe box on the right and you will join my google group. That way I can let you all know when I have put something intersting up. Easy!
Oh and thanks to Davin, I have discovered a way of putting maps up. So here is where I am currently sitting (the white dot).
You can Zoom around the map to see the neighbourhood.

Gadgets: Xbox 360 and Cable TV/Broadband
After numerous delays and many a guilty hour pinching stray wifi signals, I have finally got myself re-connected to cyberspace. I have jacked in to the net with Homechoice over here in the UK. I chose a TV/Broadband bundle which is basically as it is, 60 TV channels plus 4MB ADSL broadband, all for a princely sum of £32.99 per month. I signed up during their half price 2 month offer so its fairly reasonable. Its a weird concept this Homechoice, the TV and internet come through the phone cable and is directed by this little box. Anyway, it sort of works. The picture quality is a little compressed and the internet slows down when the TV is on, but at 4MB, the speed drop is not noticable. Anyway, enough of that.
In the next few weeks I will be reporting on my little side trips that I went on during the past 4 weeks (the posts will be dated according to the day I came back from the trip so check them out below), if I can tear myself away from the latest gadget, my XBOX 360. I have only had it for 1 day but I have found out that the battery on the wireless controller only lasts for 1 day. Bugger. :-) Anyway, I have put my gamertag on the right if you want to add me.
Below is a picture of my rig. The TV is a little on the small side, but that should be rectified in the near future.

Food: Dinner at Supperclub in Amsterdam
To continue our culinary odessy we booked ourselves in for dinner at the Supperclub.
Its a rather funky restaurant with beds instead of tables, absolute indulgence - kinda of like how the Romans used to dine, but without the hygine problems and the stray dogs. The whole thing about eating then sleeping right away has a strange attraction.
The food was a 5 course set meal and we were warned to expect the unexpected. So we where eagerly awaiting debortuary or something along those lines. However, it was just a crazy woman with a puppet. Okay, i'll give them that, it was totally unexpected but it still sucked. At least my friend managed to get some action that night.
Anyway, it was an interesting dining expreience. To sum it up, the hot waitress was born a he, the waiters all danced to the tune of the Village people and the toilets were marked either Straight or Homo. Not for the down the line types but overall interesting nevertheless. Would I go back? maybe, I could really get used to lying down and eating.

Travel: Keukenhof Gardens Amsterdam
No visit to the Netherlands can be complete without seeing some Tulips. So you have to follow the zillions or tourists (mostly the elderly) to the Keukenhof Gardens. Its is probably the most spectacular garden I have been to in a very long time, it makes the Botanical gardens in Melbourne look like a patch of dirt.
Not alot to say about it except that it takes up an entire day and if you don't like flowers or walking, then you shouldn't go. If you do like flowers or taking photo's then you must go.
Some pictures below. I will put up the rest a little later on.
