Murach's PHP and MySQL

Today, I got my copy of Murach's PHP and MySql. I am required to do a book review on it in six weeks time. I have begun studying it and it looks like a very good book so far.

I am sure this book will add to my programming knowledge as well as keep me busy for a while.

The Torah Codes

Yesterday, I received in the mail my copy of a DVD called "The Torah Codes". It is made by Pinlight Productions in the USA. They are the same movie company that makes "The Watchers Series" by LA Marzulli.

Basically, the Torah Codes is a documentary about certain codes found hidden in the Hebrew text in the first five books of the Bible. They have been uncovered in recent years by Hebrew Scholars in Israel. You really do need to watch the DVD to understand what is going on, as it is very intellectual.

But it is a DVD worth seeing. The producers also go into some details about events that are happening in Israel today, especially in relation to Israel and Hamas. I really do suggest you get the DVD and see it for yourself.

I have also been watching the Asian Cup on TV. Australia beat China 2-0 to advance to the semi-finals tonight. Tim Cahill got both goals.

Lucy, and the Socceroos get beaten

In the evening I watched a movie called Lucy. It is a rather offbeat sci-fi movie starring Scarlet Johannson. I bought it on Wednesday and watched it on my BLU-RAY player. It was a good movie, if a bit off beat.



In the evening I watched the Socceroos play South Korea. Our boys lost 1-0. A great game though.

Bendigo Flooding and the Asian Cup begins

Today was a day of wild weather in Bendigo. It rained so heavily that parts of the city were totally flooded. Very unusual. I was glad I bought my umbrella.


In the evening, the Asian cup began. Australia got of to a flyer beating Kuwait 4-1 after going down a goal in the eighth minute. It was a really good game.

A new hat and the Imitation Game

Today was Wednesday and I did not have to work today. I got a new package in the mail today. It was a Sydney Thunder cap. I watched the Big bash league on TV while in Sydney and I decide that I liked the colours of the Sydney Thunder, so I bought a Sydney Thunder cap online while I was in Sydney. It arrived at the Post Office today. It is a nice looking cap and a pleasure to wear.




In the evening I went to the Cinema to see a move about Alan Turing called "The Imitation Game".
It was a really fine movie and well worth seeing.

Welcome to 2015

It is now the year 2015. We did not do much to celebrate the New Year. Just had a quiet party at home. We couldn't be bothered going into the city on New Years Eve as the joint is a madhouse. We did not do much all day long. Just watched TV and prepared myself to go home on the 2nd.

In the evening we went to Tradies at Gymea for dinner with some of the family members. The lamb shanks tasted great. It was a nice dinner.


Funeral of an old friend

This week, my good friend Colin Pilcher passed away after a fall at his home. I have known Colin for more than 40 years and it was sad to se...
