Pies I've enjoyed and where you can buy them

By /
Dinky-Di Pies - Sydney
A while ago since I was introduced to them by Lynda but I suspect they're as good as ever (check out the comments here). All I can say is try them!
525 Old South Head Rd Rose Bay NSW 2029 - tel: 02-9371 6715


Harry's Pie Cart - Sydney
The original pie for pissed people. But don't think the pies are of a "pissed people" standard, they're not ... probably ... to be fair I always ended up there with a skinful and whilst they were of an exceeding high standard they could've been made with kangaroo and rubber - I don't think they were. The experience is a must!
Woolloomooloo, Sydney, NSW 2011 - tel: 02-9357 3074


"The Pie Shoppe"* - Reading
You know what, I have no idea where in Reading this is or what the real name is*. I had met a gal, I was visiting for the first time and she took me along to this amazing pie shop(pe). It was the first time I exclaimed, "Holly fandangle, this is an amazing pie!!!" which was very different from the previous, "Ick, that's just jelly around some nasty meat"

* I suspect with a confidence level of around 98%+ that it's Sweeney & Todd, and on that basis here's the details
10 Castle St, Reading, RG1 7RD - tel: 0118-958 6466


Trisha's Pies - Wellington
There is no other pie for those that live in Wellington. I love 'em all and am so happy to see them appearing in more and more cafe's around town - especially the small, locally owned cafe's hidden between office buildings and up side alleys.
Enjoy!
Whilst the original shop (Patrisha's Original Pies 1987) is at 298 The Parade, Island Bay (tel: 04-383 7947) the most convenient shop for the city centre is 32 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington - tel: 04-801 5506


More pies!
Kiwi's love pies, in fact I have it on good authority that whilst Mobil petrol stations ("garages") have fluctuating sales of ice-cream, crisps and soft drinks (weather related usually) the sales of pies is constant no matter what!

And so - pies, pies and more pies:
Don't hesitate to tell the world by leaving a comment, let them eat your favourite pie!

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

W. C. Fields quotes

The office has all been moved around - new desks (with starter handles to raise and lower them), new high(er) speed network and ... the same old work. At least I have a differing view of the world, my team (well, the team I'm a part of not "my" team) is a lot closer - finally - and it's like an office from the 80's ... or even a classroom. But I still have time to move the crap off the PC : ------ Any man who hates dogs and loves whiskey can't be all bad. Anyone who hates Dogs and Kids Can't be All Bad. Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??! Who stole the cork from my breakfast? Now don't say you can't swear off drinking, it's easy. I've done it a thousand times. Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit, no use being a damn fool about things.

Zoom In For The Shocking Detail

It's not often one comes across a blue plaque that sums up town life quite so aptly. I'm afraid you'll have to zoom in to get the full measure of the writing.
