Miles is walking!
Miles pretty much cried through the whole thing.
Hehe. Poor babies.
Nothing you could do but laugh, really.
Punked up with holy water.
A traditional Indo feast followed at the Murphy residence. So so good!
Jamie outdid herself again with this creation for the kids.
Last night’s party.
On topic, sort-of, went to Allens/Billy Blue yesterday to pick up a bargain on a left-handed bass and amp as they’re having a liquidation sale, but the entire shop was empty. Serves me right for thinking that their sale wasn’t going to be “for real”. I ended up getting a guitar stand that’ll hold 2 guitars, some nice leads too, all 60% off.
Snapped this shot of a piece Nanami’s working on at the moment. 2 days in, it’s looking great! She’s just added a few more prints to her shop too, visit: http://www.nanamicowdroy.com/shop/

Made in the USA.
Also found this on the side of the street in the city. Got excited when I realised it was a Gary Fisher, got disappointed when I saw the crappy front fork, then got excited again when I saw that the frame was made in the USA.
Not sure what to do with it, we’ll see!
A little over a year ago Florida based Photographer Jordan Donnelly shot my GT-R. He wasn’t happy with his shots, so unfortunately I never got to see anything, until this week! Love the shot, click it to view it a little bigger.
BMU boys.
The Bikes Move Us forum was running on old forum software, and was being attacked by spambots so badly I had to turn off automatic new registrations and approve members manually (much work).
With a little help from Nyssa (my new web developer) I finally got around to upgrading it to the latest stable release of vBulletin. Of-course it looked like vomit on install (our old theme was no longer compatible) so I’ve spent a bit of time tweaking it to look better. Visit: http://www.bikesmoveus.com.au/
Yup.
So yesterday morning a few people reported issues with JDMST not loading right. I failed to see any problems, but after some trial and error I noticed an advertising banner was screwing up the entire forum, at this point I’d already ripped a lot of hair out and attempted to rebuilt and optimise tables in the backend. Unfortunately for me something crapped out when rebuilding some tables… fair call as JDMST is a MASSIVE forum, this in turn totally destroyed something. People were not able to see new posts, some couldn’t make posts… nightmare.
I googled hard, and harder, no luck. I ended up contacting some developer friends, no luck there either (they were all too busy). I contacted the host in the USA and they suggested I revert to a previously backed up snapshot of the forum. Problem is the backup was 4 days old. I did it, as it had to be done, but all posts made in the past 4 days were lost, all private messages too and this has obviously upset a fair few people (members and traders as well).
On the one hand I’m glad everything is working as it should again. Daily backups could be worth the extra $$$ perhaps, but then again it’s not the kind of thing that happens a lot (and it was my fault in the first place!).
Caught up with Christina last night, we tried out the new Gowings Bar & Grill. They’re trying really hard, but its nice, very nice. The service was over the top great and the food was awesome too. I think once the newness of it all wears in a little more it’ll be great.
Had the Wheelman over to fix my wheel, did a fantastic job (again!). I can now rest well at night once more :) Visit: http://www.mobilealloywheelrepairs.com.au
