I <3 Remote Play

I love Big Brother drama. I'm traveling and away from home. I set my desktop at home to automagically bittorrent down the episodes, share it to my ps3 via mediatomb and then when I have some down time to fill I simply Remote Play to my home PS3 and play the latest episode. Totally awesomes.

Vegemite in Dublin, Ireland

Holland and Barrett (http://www.hollandandbarrett.c...) stocks the cheapest Vegemite in Dublin that I've found, there are several stores in Dublin (see their website for details). The store in the St. Stephens Green Shopping Centre definitely stock it (next door to Argos on the first floor). Your mileage may vary with the other stores.

Nourish (http://www.nourishonline.ie/) stocks Vegemite, there are several stores in Dublin (see their website for details). The stores in the GPO Arcade and on Wicklow St. definitely stock it. Your mileage may vary with the other stores.

Vegemite can also be bought at Superquinn (http://www.superquinn.ie/) stores. The easiest to access from Dublin city centre would be the Blackrock store (or buy online!). Blackrock is worth the visit even if you don't want to buy Vegemite.

If you're looking for Vegemite in Ireland and you're not in Dublin then I'd probably start at the closest Superquinn.

Vegemite in Toronto, Canada

When I lived in Toronto I found the only source of Vegemite and it took me about 8 months to track it down after all sorts of failed attempts. The location used to be on my old site (which is long dead) but people still email me about it (so it must be cached/linked somewhere) so here is the info again:

When I lived in Toronto (1998/1999) I found that Vegemite could be bought from the Loblaws on Broadview Ave near the corner of Danforth Ave (also the closest Subway stop). They only sold the smallest jars and the staff were no help in locating it but I did find it after carefully scanning each and every shelf (the distinctive yellow and black jars make it a bit easier).

A Google map showing the exact Loblaws can be found at http://maps.google.com/maps/ms...

Please if anyone visits this Loblaws let me know (scott@weston.id.au) if they still stock Vegemite. It's been lots of years since I've been to Toronto and I'd hate to have inaccurate info here for others seeking out Vegemite in Toronto.

WHO ARE YA?!

Things are changing around here, I'm moving all my sites to appengine and in the process writing a little webapp to make things neato. It's far from finished but it's fun.
