Keeping the Faith
Monday, February 8th, 2010Loved.com for Sale pt3
Friday, March 20th, 2009Only if you want it!! Sorry been asked for more!!!
$AUD6 million or $USD6 million which ever is the most.
That is, in English, the site is for sale for 6 million United States Dollars or 6 million Australian Dollars which ever is the best for me. If the USD is worth more than the AUD then the price is in USD. You get the idea.
There are three caveats:
1) domain transfer will only happen when the cheque/check/money order has cleared and the funds deposited into my account.
2) i get to keep all of the content that was here
3) i get to keep the email address peter@loved.com for six months after the domain transfer date so i can update anything and everything that i need to update
Serious enquiries only to the above email address.
cheers

Chewing the Fat
Sunday, March 8th, 2009City people have lost the art of true conversation. It’s all about “hang on, i’ve got a call” on the mobile/cell phone when you’re mid sentence. And “i won’t be a minute..”…meanwhile you’ve given up, paid the bill and gone and left your phone-fucked up friend in a cubicle trying to get the best reception.
Don’t let them use this as a way of dodging the bill tho. That would be BAD! We all have our days, but friends look after friends right?
Me. I’ve been out in the country. Country Australia. Country Victoria (an Australian state) to be precise.
It’s been good to actually nod and wave whilst driving the one lane roads, moving into the shoulder when another car/4WD/truck comes along. I have a fine Landcruiser 100 V8 BTW…so there you have it, but i’m always moving onto the verge (good word that) to avoid the weekend 4WD’er and the people that have NFI. Lucky for them that i can see ahead and move…for them. I have a nice bullbar 
and a nice temperament.
Manners is a thing long gone, but it shouldnt be. It isn’t hard to be courteous now and again. A hello here, a g’day there. Even a “how are you?” even if you don’t mean it. It goes a long way.
But remember to respect towns and townfolk, even if you dont like the town your are in.
Pick up your rubbish, try not to swear too much and just be polite in the towns. Save it for around the campfire in the middle of nowhere and let it all out.
cheers

September 11
Friday, September 12th, 2008From afar. I was awake. Watching on Cable TV. Coz i was up. Awake. Nornal. The TV was loud, as per normal…i was doing internet “shit” and things were “normal”.
i’m about to go to bed…a breaking broadcast comes through….for some reason, it was on CNN while i was doin what i was doin…..
i’ll never forget it…..and sorry for typing it here…i saw the second plane hit the World Trade Centre……
on TV…..
live….
what can i say. Nothing really. And i’m sorry for that.
i lost my job not long after that, sold my beautiful Monaro…..that i had had for 13 years…went onto unemployment benefits……
but, hey, i am in Australia, far far far away.., but still impacted…friends and families over there…
i pray for you. Be you Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc…i apologise if i missed your religion here, but i know that you know that life is sacrosanct.
take care

Greek Ancestry – Typos
Saturday, May 31st, 2008I make a lot of typos. I write technical documentation; specifications, recommendations and even blogs! etc etc.
And we all make mistakes. Mostly minor mistakes, but sometimes really bad ones. No i don’t mean factual omissions, or half-truths…but mistakes. Typos.
So May 31…let us all bow down to the Greek God Typos. And may he forgive us all.
cheers

Love, Life and Loss
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008An online friend of mine lost someone close. I’m not going into the details as i know all about that – not sure about her details, but it’s hard.
In my case? We were summoned into the ICU (intensive care unit) and the head Doctor explained what the chances of recovery were and all that. Unfortunately i’d seen my Dad a few days before and accused the staff of killing him already and i ran out upset…..but anyway.
So we went in and they chatted to all of us and advised us to switch off the life support machine. I’d already been advised of this earlier as my Mum asked me to come in earlier. When all the family was there and the Doc was telling us….i broke down….and the weird thing was…the song on the radio was the Queen song…”i want to break free”….weird considering the life support was about to be switched off.
Loss is hard.
Dealing with it is harder, and there’s no-one that can tell you how you should deal with it. It’s personal. Fucking personal.
People will offer support. People will offer suggestions. Try not to dismiss them, although it’s difficult. Just nod. Ensure you don’t sign anything until you get yourself sober – sober in thoughts, mind and body. And even then, take some time off.

Loved.com is not a Charity
Saturday, January 26th, 2008just following up my rhetorical post about Loved dot com being for sale.
Everything is for sale. Isn’t it? But if anyone wants Loved dot com then you need to offer me $USD5 million. Yes that’s 5 million US dollars. I’m happy to receive 5 million British pounds too by the way.
Why? Why not! I still have some grandiose plans for Loved dot com but hey…i haven’t realised them yet.
And it’s mine. So if you want it….hey… peter at loved dot com is where you can find me.
cheers

2008 – An Important Year for the World
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Here we are. Another new year. Unfortunately it’s full of violence – Kenya springs to mind, but Iraq and Afghanistan are still suffering.
Remember them? The USA seems to be focused on an election where only 30% of the USA people vote anyway. They don’t care about Iraq or the Afghanis right now….maybe. But George WW got voted in and look at what he did (and didn’t do to the USA economy) so you should care.
Vote. It’s easy. Get up off the couch, the sofa, the lounge, your rocking chair….whatever.
Just vote.
cheers
