Goodbye Inkblog... 1.0 · 10 October 2009
Since starting this blog back in January 2006 much has changed on the interwebs, and indeed in my working life!
I have been using blog software named ‘textpattern’ for this 3 and a half years, and frankly it’s a little code heavy to be conducive to spontaneous and regular blog posting. And with my ever-increasing inclination to the modern A.D.D. compulsion of Twittering, Facebooking and Tumblogging, I’ve found it’s going to be much easier for me to keep blogging if I do it through a new and simpler means – by starting a tumblog. (tumblr blog). Without going into too much esoteric detail; It’s much quicker than the way I do it now.
I wouldn’t really bother with it, but I get a surprisingly large number of emails relating to my blog posts, so I suspect someone’s reading it.
So, from heron, you can subscribe to my inane, self-indulgent ramblings at the new, Ink Blog 2.0

Thanks for subscribing! I’ll see you over the road…

Utegate · 25 June 2009
20th June 2009
I do love a good political smear campaign.
The recent alleged misleading of parliament by Wayne Swan and Kevin Rudd has gained a lot of traction in the last 24 hours – and has subsequently been given the nickname Utegate.
I love how Aussie that is – If there were ever going to be an Aussie Prime Minister scandal to rival Watergate, it was going to be UteGate.
The affair has been compared to that of the previous government’s infamous Weapons for Wheat scandal but to be fair (and I’m not a Rudd apologist by any stretch of the imagination) he was only (allegedly) helping out a mate… not Saddam Hussein.
It’s amazing how much coverage something gets in a slow news week- and I suspect the days ahead will be cluttered with Ruddgate material. I reckon Rudd will just be praying for another ship to crash into Newcastle.
Rudd could just shrug this off with a contrived “Fair shake of the sauce bottle mate.” Or, it could become the undoing of Rudd’s squeaky-clean term in office.

Well it seems Utegate has indeed become quite the political shit-storm, but in a masterful backhand from Rudd, he’s turned it on Turnbull and found the email to be fraudulent; urging he apologise and resign.
In the immortal words of Happy Gilmore, “Talk about your all time backfires..”
Between all of the brilliant cartoons shooting out of the presses around the nation, I think the most humourous thing I’ve seen is a fraudulent (ironic) Twitter account being made in Godwin Gretch’s name.. I love the bio description.
And Just for the record… How much does Gretch remind you of Dobby from Harry Potter!
