Dedicated to my late brave, beautiful and silly mummy, Debra Ross. I love you mumster.

Category archive for quotes

Because archives are so much easier than having just hundreds of posts on the home page. I learned that the hard way.

Hey Joe, what’s your handicap?

The all new Rubenerd Blog is online!

Coming to you live from the San Francisco Coffee House in Mid Valley Mega Mall in Kuala Lumpur! Drumroll please…

After millions of hours of blood, sweat and tiers (thanks for that line James ;) ) the updated 2007 Rubenerd Blog skin has finally been rolled out. I’ll be mirroring the same design onto the Rubenerd Show site soon too, but I thought I’d field test it here first.

The biggest challenge when updating this design? Internet Explorer! I got the design down pat and working in Gecko and WebKit without modification, but loading it up in good old IE6 broke more of the page than I thought would have been possible! Internet Explorer 7 was marginally better, but with so many people still running their XP machines without updates we’ll probably have to continue writing out IE6 CSS hacks for a long time to come.

Steven Colbert from the Colbert Report and Jimbob Kloss from Whole Wheat Radio both say that people who have blogs and podcasts that simply talk about their blogs and podcasts are no good. If you agree, then please disregard this post ;).

Marty Smith Quotes

Marty Smith writes the Mouthing Off column in the Adelaide Advertiser every weekday, it’s one of my favourite parts of the paper. On Thursday he had some beauties:

  • Question: what came first, the ant or the picnic?
  • “Just Divorced” - Car window sign
  • “You know that horses are smarter than people. You’ve never heard of a horse going broke betting on people.” - American actor and humorist Will Rogers (1879-1935)

Boatdeck Cafe Air Guitars

Sitting in Boatdeck Cafe in Mawson Lakes last night having pasta and coffee outside, I overheard what sounded like two Americans talking:

“And so I just pulled out my air guiter.
I looked like a dick, but man it felt good!”

Haha, good on ‘em ;)
