Archive
Posts from 2004 to 2017. This was a personal blog during a fairly chaotic decade in independent publishing — some of it tech commentary, some of it Australia, some of it ephemera. It’s kept here in full for anyone who arrives via an old link.
Current writing lives at SiliconANGLE.
Down but not out
My many thanks to everyone who let me know that duncanriley.com was down. It’s not b5 related, I promise, and u can all take that with my personal I don’t lie certification. It’s just after 7pm US EST time as I’m writing this, but just 4 possibly the first time in my life, I’m actuallly […]
Don’t believe in free markets? Visit Hong Kong
I’m standing here typing this in the Departures lounge at Hong Kong Airport. One word to say about about Hong Kong: F*ck! Free markets not only work, they rock. I only wish I wasn’t about to hop on another plane to North America. Absolutely mind blowing amazing. My only gripe, the main shops don’t open […]

Al-Qaeda ‘planned Ashes attack
I’d normally make a joke about Shane Warne and drugs at this stage was this story not serious, from News.com.au THE Australian and English cricket teams were to be killed with sarin gas by some of those responsible for the July 7 attacks in London, a friend of a terrorist claims. The man, known as […]
America proves again why others regard it as stupid
Todays the 5th Anniversary of 9/11. Now read this: CBS Corp. said on Saturday it would broadcast the documentary “9/11” on the Internet as well as the airwaves after several affiliates said they would delay or forgo the award-winning film because it includes profanity. The documentary was produced by French filmmakers Gedeon and Jules Naudet […]
A note to Devany Kindle
Dear Ms Kindle [email protected] Thank you for the numerous unkind words you have sent me in relation to my posts on the death of Steve Irwin. As an American I’m sure you’re a complete expert on how some Australians found Steve Irwin embarrassing at times. As I have previously written, the man was a walking […]
The best ever time zone/ time tool ever!

Machine translation is go!
I’ll have to watch my bonzer bobs, my buggers and my howyagoinmates, but I’ve added this translation plugin to the sidebar….after a little feedback from an internal b5 test I struck Chinese and Korean off the list, and I’ll probably end up taking Japanese off as well, but we’ll see how it goes, or if […]

Robert Scoble is a hypocrite
I’ve been recently updating my Bloglines subs, purging some feeds, adding some new ones, and I decided today to resubscribe to Robert Scoble’s blog…I’d refused to in the past when he moved across to WordPress because as far as I was concerned he was damn lazy in not doing a modrewrite of his old feed…not […]
Blogs you should consider reading (particularly if you’re in to blogs and Web 2.0)
I’ve got an admission to make, in the last couple of months I’ve been adding to my Bloglines subs, even though I swore I would actually decrease the number…and whilst on one hand I have unsubscribed from a few sites….the number I subscribed to has actually been creping up again. Sure, I’ve only gotten out […]
America and the Allies
Aaron says it all here…and quotes me a lot…but again I’ll say lest we forget, because we are so fortune that so many gave so much for our freedom. We should never take our freedom for granted, and it’s our responsibility that future generations, those that didn’t have the privilege as I did to meet […]

G’Day Prime Minister
Only in Australia🙂 A MAN who ran his boat on to rocks just metres from the Sydney residences of the prime minister and governor-general has been charged with drink driving. Sydney Water Police said they found a motor cruiser aground on rocks at Kirribilli Point with a man, woman and three children on board about […]
The Blogging Bomber?
Sitting in a Internet Cafe on the Gold Coast and already I’ve got my first weird travel story. Last night at Perth Airport I was pulled aside and….scanned for explosives! It was 11:30pm so I was in a bit of a daze anyway. I walked through security, no problems, then I get pulled aside by […]
Public Service Announcement: Kangaroos and cars don’t mix
My new image is an important public service announcement, particularly to those who visit Australia for the first time. Kangaroo’s and cars don’t mix. Me, I’m lucky, I’ve only destroyed a windscreen and side mirror thanks to local members of the Skippy gang. My Mrs, well she’s rolled a car before, and on another occasion […]
BloggerCon Australia: I’m excited!
Just read this at Scripting News. Red Barren is in charge of organising a BloggerCon in Australia. For those who were readers of The Blog Herald I’ve been trying to do this for years. I’ve got about 50 ppl in the email list who have shown interest in coming. If you haven’t previously registered interest […]
Cory Doctorow in Melbourne
Cameron Reilly (no relation) points to Cory Doctorow in Melbourne. I wish soooo much I could hop on a plane, if she who must be obeyed would only let me, particularly given it’s free!
Lost in moving
I’m still here…I think, although this site is still not always showing from my end after the host move. Apologies to regular readers, I’m slowly worknig on it, although one word of advice: me and cPanel don’t mix very well it would seem 🙂
