When the Police become Judge and Executioner
Last week prominent PNG business man – Sir George Constantinou – was stoned to death by thugs near the Tete settlement in Port Moresby.

Blog now at WordPress 2.7
Despite what I said the other day about not upgrading for a while – I went ahead anyway. Been secretly trying out 2.7 on a Test Blog I setup for the purpose. Latest build of K2 with 50 odd plugins and all seems in order. No major dramas touch wood!…
Chilli oil fumes works wonders

Back from Madang
We got back from Madang at around lunch time on Tuesday. Five days away from the hustle and bustle of life in Goroka turned out to be very relaxing. It was also nice to catch up with Nick and Bernadette and spend a couple of days in Bogia.
