This is now the “family” website for Michael Quinn and his… family.
I’ve had this blog URL for many years and never really been sure what to do with it. Do I use it for posts about my family, or use it as a general blog for anything I want to go on about?
Obviously there is [...]
First the great news. Fiona and I had our first baby last week – 20th May, 2009. She is called Eliza Scarlett Quinn. More on why later.
She arrived 2 months premature. 30 weeks and 5 days. But she has been an amazingly strong little thing so far – was only on direct assisted [...]
Well after setting up with Twitter a couple of weeks ago (184 posts and counting), I somehow ended up finally opening a Facebook account.
Had a lot of fun with it so far – definitely the big time sucking vortex it has the reputation for. But after a couple of days finding friends and playing around [...]
Last week I decided to check out Twitter. Twitter lets you post small messages (140 chr max – SMS length) and then anyone who is “following” you, automatically – and often instantly – gets these messages. Whenever someone you are following posts and update – you get the message in your “follow feed”.

It’s been almost 3 years since I did any real blogging on this website. I’m hoping that’s about to change.
Last couple of years I’ve been so busy with one thing or another – work, life, whatever else came along.
So I thought it was time to get back into writing more for myself – both [...]
Been back from Sydney / Bathurst a little over a week now. Been flat out unpacking the rest of the house, setting up broadband, catching up with work and other things. I’ve been a bit slack on this blog but I’ve been updating some of the others – Batboys, MacSwitch and Down Under Geek.

Some days you just can’t complain about the life you have.
Yesterday I went into the main Sydney CBD and saw Star Wars Episode III for the second time. I saw it the opening weekend a few months ago but I wanted to see it one more time on the “big screen” before it comes to [...]
At the moment I am spending a few days away on a bit of holiday.
This weekend is the Batboys weekend in Bathurst which I am really looking forward to. It is also the CSU Rugby Old Boys weekend so it should be a good time to catch up with a lot of people.
But I am [...]
Just wanted to write a quick note to let you know why I have gone quiet again on this blog. Fiona and I have bought our first house together and so we have been busy packing (well ok – Fiona has done most of that).
I have been getting work done and ready for the move. [...]
Last night I finally got to launch my new Tech Website – www.DownUnderGeek.com
This site will be focused on tech news, my views and opinions in that area and whatever else fits.
Yes this is something that 1000+ other guys do but I really don’t care. I want to have my little slice of that too. It [...]
