Melbourne
Christmas day in Melbourne this year (2011) was a typical Melbourne affair. It was overcast in the morning. In the middle of the day it got hot and sunny and later on the heavens opened and we had rain like you wouldn’t believe, with golf-ball-sized hail stones thrown in to give us the “white Christmas” usually associated with European destinations.
As Melbourne’s only 24-hour snake catcher, I had the usual calls to catch snakes over Christmas. Continue reading Melbourne

Are Open World the Games of the Future?

Avid gamers may have noticed a slight change to the gaming landscape recently. Like the movie world, the flavour of the day usually dictates what genres and titles we see being presented to us by game developers. Over recent years, that genre has largely been First Person Shooters, and has presented us with titles such as Call of Duty and Battlefield. Even though those franchises are still dominating the industry – indeed, both have new titles out this Christmas – we are now seeing other genres appearing on the best sellers lists.

New Ice Cream Sandwich for Android Users

In what is proving to be very exciting news for Android phone users, Google have announced the unveiling of their new OS for Android, the Android 4.0, or better known as the Ice Cream Sandwich.
A new OS (or operating system) for the Android is exciting for several reasons. Firstly, because it brings with it many exciting enhancements to the previous system, but also because it turns an old phone into what feels like a whole new phone, similar to when you upgrade windows on your PC. And according to  those that have been fortunate enough to get their hands on the new system to test it, the enhancements are many. Continue reading New Ice Cream Sandwich for Android Users

Does Age Affect Memory?

Yes, Generation X potentially have a more restored memory than those from Generation Z. In fact, aging doesn’t necessarily affect ones’ memory; a survey conducted between various age groups quaintly depicted that people aged 31-40 had the preeminent memory. The survey included two investigations: a visual-memory test and a word-memory test.

This is virtuous

Mobile snake displays

In recent years a new form of entertainment and education has emerged.  It’s called the mobile reptile and snake show.

Yes, for decades there have been snake handler types travelling the agricultural show circuits and the like.  But these were a different kind of animal.

These snake displays invariably had a man in a circular “pit” or defined area, handling deadly venomous snakes to the crowd’s amazement.  In more recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on education, but when it’s all said and done, the public came to see the deadly snakes being handled at close range and in the hope that the handler may cop a bite.

Hot weather brings snakes out early!

Snakes run hot today – Monday 19 September 2011.

Today, Snakebusters have had call outs to catch venomous snakes at Preston, Eltham (twice), Warrandyte, Research, Sommerville and Donvale. The Donvale call-out at Tindalls Road, was for an adult female Brown Snake sitting in the middle of the lounge room of the family home.

Yesterday we had call outs at Bacchus Marsh, Eltham and elsewhere.

In the last 24 hours the Victorian Ambulance service has reported two adults being bitten by snakes and carted to hospital. One bite was at Warburton and the other at Sunbury.

The snake man Raymond Hoser has issued a warning in the wake of these bites and wrong advice given out by others. Continue reading Hot weather brings snakes out early!
