I work for IBM's Linux Technology Centre at OzLabs - our (mostly) Canberra based development lab.
In my day they used to be call diaries, but somehow the "log" aspect of a blog appeals - I see it as more a place to record often pithy bits observations without the need to journal things everyday. Hopefully that has put you off bothering with mine. If not, it's here :)
Tend to take a lot of digital photos, many of which are available here. There is a separate section for family and friends, email me for access
