Over the last couple of days I’ve uploaded a big bunch of photos onto my flickr account. I’m about halfway through the ones from our recent trip and will get the rest online over the next couple of days. So far there’s a whole lot from Hawaii, Disneyland, and London.

Well another week is drawing to a close. I know this sounds cliched but they seem to be going faster and faster. This week has been pretty good. A few babies born, a couple of minor emergencies sorted out. Kids are doing well at home – Owen has done great on his school homework. Jen has still been unwell, due to a combination of morning sickness and a bad cold, but we were treated to a nice dinner prepared for us by a friend at church earlier in the week, which was a big help. On the leisure side, I’ve been reading a biography of C.S. Lewis, playing a bit more X-box 360 than usual (which isn’t hard since I hardly ever play at all – Owen uses it more than me), and of course discovering Facebook. Now this might sound lame, but I’ve also been watching the Fedex site tracking a package sent from Florida on Aug 27, through Tennessee, Honolulu, Sydney, and now Perth. Hopefully it should arrive here before I leave work this afternoon. It’s nothing special, just some HDDVDs I ordered, but I just love a good shipping tracking site, don’t you? 
This weekend I am on-call for obstetrics, which I greet with my usual feelings of ambiguity. I really can’t be bothered working and would love for it to be a quiet weekend, especially tomorrow for Owen’s soccer finals carnival. However this is my first on-call since being back from our trip and may be my only one until November (since it is now only 5 weeks until I leave for my next trip to Uganda) and since these on-calls are where I can earn a bit more money to help pay for bills and time off etc I kinda need for it to be a bit busy. Anyway, we’ll see what happens. I guess I’ll choose to be happy either way.
Anyway there’s a drug lunch calling so I’d best be off. Have a great weekend!
So I’m still mucking around with Facebook. I have to say I really like the interface and the amount of content apps you can easily put on it. The other thing, which I guess is what facebook is really all about, is that it is quite easy to find contacts. A very quick and easy search around last night has led me to discover a bunch of old mates from med school, a couple of whom I’ve had a brief chat with. These are people I haven’t seen in years, so facebook really does help you connect. Also it can log into your email address book and search for Facebook contacts from that. I plugged in my gmail details and it managed to find a few contacts in there too.
I can understand why people may want to keep their facebook private so only their friends can view it, but I still wish we at least had the choice of making it publicly viewable. I still think this is probably the biggest flaw of facebook. So for those of you who haven’t got your own facebook account (yet), here’s a screen capture so you can see what mine looks like (the top portion of it at least – there’s heaps more stuff below) – click the picture for a larger image…
