Stuck in rural Queensland 27 Dec 201022 Jun 2018 So, here I am, marooned in Warwick, southeast of Brisbane, about one and a half hours drive. Stuck here by this: We missed getting through by half an hour or so. We may be stranded for two days… And no Internet! Administrative Australian stuff
Administrative I am an idiot 13 Jul 2010 I decided not to continue being the manager of a technical computing graphics department when I realised that my staff knew more than I did. I hadn’t realised until a few minutes ago that I now must relinquish the title of “geek”. There’s nothing wrong with my offline editor. I… Read More
Administrative The leeches are out in force 24 Apr 2008 Have a look at the title bar at the top of this page. If it doesn’t say “Scienceblogs” or “Evolving Thoughts”, then you are reading it via a leech site that does nothing but steal the words I and other carefully craft, like this one. Now in my case while… Read More
Administrative Wilkins in Spanish (or Portuguese) 3 Aug 2008 It is an odd thing seeing one’s words in another language.

My brother-in-law’s stuck on the other side – about 5 km. south of Toowoomba, looking south, heading for Tamworth. Trade bodies?
No internet, and yet you post on your blog. A festivus miracle! My brother lives in Cairns. Apparently it’s a tad wet up there due to some depressed metereological phenomenon. Really ought to seed the clouds with prozac this time of year.
So you claim to have no internet, all the while having a 3G internet enabled device? I think you’ll have no problems being accepted by the philosophers guild. It’s up there with Plantinga claiming that belief in God is basic, yet belief in Ahura Mazda, Lord Shiva, Wotan, etc is not. 😉
The Bureau of Meteorology says the The Condamine will peak at Midnight. I think you should be able to proceed tomorrow after breakfast. The Condamine does not normally stay up very long at Warwick. Warwick trivium, this is where Billy Hughes had a egg thrown at him when he tried to convince the largely Irish population that it would be a good idea to fight for the King in the Great War.

Yep, that’s what bro-in-law did in reverse (went to Grafton, to come to G.I.) – though I gather the road did open in the early afternoon (from Warwick to Toowoomba). #nottoknow
Deep enough to stop even a large anthropoid ape. That’s deep… (Unless the aquatic ape theory is correct)
