Ear buds don’t fit!

4 September 2007 by kristarella

I suspect a lot of people find that earbuds, or earphones, or headphones, whatever you want to call them, don’t fit properly or they just hurt. Some people have small ears (I thought this was my problem for a while) and the buds are just too big. Perhaps it’s just the hard plastic sitting in […]

Google: highly analytical

31 August 2007 by kristarella

I realised recently that I had not been paying much attention to my StatCounter account. I didn’t really check on who was coming from where and who was looking at what and while StatCounter is free and they offer lots of different analyses, I found it difficult to trawl through.

Nokia 6020

12 July 2007 by kristarella

After my Motorola V3 was stolen I really missed having a mobile phone. Apart from not receiving calls and messages, I went to a meeting at a friend’s place and forgot which unit in the security block they lived in. I stood outside for 15 minutes, buzzing units and even borrowing a man’s phone to […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
