Kylie Minogue has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and has postponed her Australian tour.

Whilst at home in Melbourne with her family this week, prior to her Australian Showgirl Tour, Kylie was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer," Ms Minogue's publicist said in a statement released a short time ago. "She will undergo immediate treatment and consequently her Australian tour will not be able to proceed as planned."

Ms Minogue said she was sorry to disappoint her fans.

Brisbane Rainfall Widget

Posted In Music

I decided to throw this widget together last tonight as it's quite handy to
see if there's any rain about. I'll add some preferences in due course.

Here's a screenshot of a work in progress on my current Mac desktop:-

We have moved ... Web Host

Posted In Official

{mosimage}

Sikosis.com (previously Gravity24hr.com) has taken the plunge and severed it's ties from six (6) year web host, Interland (previously Communitech). Our corner of the web is now being hosted by UVC Host.
The hosting is considerably cheaper and whilst I will not have any sub
domains ($10 per subdomain per year ? No thanks), I keep coming back to
that price per year and for some reason, it's not a problem anymore ;).

As for their reliablility, I've been use to their stability and performance for awhile, as Scott Mc setup the BeDrivers
hosting there. I'm responsible for building, from
scratch, the site and setting it all up. I'll most likely migrate it to a Mambo install soon, just to make things easier on myself.

I'm
still working on the Dashboard Widgets, getting the code cleaned up and
making them solid before I release them for public (ab)use.

Since getting a hold of Tiger, I've been playing around with Dashboard widgets.

I'm currently working on two widgets.

XBench
MyFox

Below is a screenshot of the work in progress ... more soon, just off to Mother's Day Lunch and then a dinner.

I've been following this game for quite away, I entered the beta, but
chose not to play as I thought back to my beta Neocron days.

Now all I
have to do is pick 3 worthy mates ...
