A few facts that have been reinforced in my mind over the last couple of days:
- History always repeats itself.
- There is no smoke without fire.
- BCC needs to be exploited.
- Most farang working in Thailand are lazy.
- I no longer like the taste of beer.
- Facebook can actually be useful.
- My collar bone is slowly mending.
OK pretty random I know, but you might enjoy trying to puzzle some of these out!

So we had one of those days today, when the gods of TOT and out local ISP decide we need a day off, and make sure that our internet connections does not work during prime time work hours, here upon Kph Phangan.
Luckily Joakim and myself managed to get the days scheduling out of the way before things went bad, but that’s just about all we managed to get done today.
I always worry on days like this that some disaster will befall one of the team members, from a work standpoint, and I will be unavailable to resolve the situation.
Maybe I should relent and give out my telephone number to the remote team members, certainly to Taylor out editor at least.
Anyway, as I was laying on the balcony today, hoping that the gods of TOT would forgive us and let us have our toys back, I found an interesting view of the ceiling, so snapped it with my phone, here it is:
A little weird I know, but interesting enough.
Oh well, lets hope our internet connections stays up now, and I can get a full days work in tomorrow.

I have a very devious Son!
Family, Fun, Home Life, Parenting January 27th, 2009
Leon is now one year and three months old, and I am very glad to tell you that he is already displaying signs of being every bit as slippery as his Father! Yesterday Nuth bought some snacks from a food cart that comes by the house now and then; she bought some BBQ chicken for Ball (her 10 year old Son from her first marriage) and some lua kheen (kind of deep fried fish dough balls) for Leon. So Leon takes one look at his fish balls, then looks at the BBQ chicken and instantly decides he wants that instead. His brother tells him ok, finish eating all your fish balls and you can have some chicken, then turns his back and starts talking to a friend.
Leon looks at his brother, and then carefully hides the fish balls behind him on the chair he is sitting on. He then shouts for his brother to pay attention to him, and opens his mouth to show it’s empty. Ball then says, ok you have finished the fish balls here is some chicken and hands him a drumstick. Leon eats the chicken, and by the time he is done with it Ball has finished his chicken also. Leon then looks his brother right in the eye, reaches behind his back, grabs a fish ball and stuffs it in his mouth, laughing at his brother all the time! I was so proud of him!
