Winters here in Australia can be beautiful, low 20’s (70F) blue sky days. The days get short, but not too bad, it is dark around 5:30pm right now. I think because I’ve spent a bit of time with Kip (my server admin and tech guru) in Colorado I am a little bit accustomed to cold and I find the water is warm enough all year round.
But, the last week or so it has been colder here. This morning it was 10C in the house here. Again, it is a gorgeous day without a cloud in the sky, there is just a little bit of a southerly wind (coming up from Antarctica).
It is also a great time of the year at my pool because there is nobody there. Maybe three out of the last four times I’ve been there, I’ve been the only person. Which means zero potential for any naughty speedo action, or even some speedo eye candy, but it is nice not having to share lanes or cancel because there is a school swimming carnival on.
Around this time of year I start to plan my trip to see Kip in Colorado for a snowboarding trip in January.
With all the covid travel restrictions I really can’t see that being possible. We talk pretty much every day but I really miss that guy, and his hottub.
OK, I should get off to the pool. One thing I’m working on today for you guys is one of my favourite speedo threesome movies. It is nearly ten years old but it is really hot. I’ll have it ready for you guys to watch on Friday.
For those in the northern hemisphere, enjoy the warm weather, and for my mates in the southern hemisphere, be brave.
Okie dokie guys, things are getting back online… finally.
Last Monday there was a fire at the datacenter where the servers are hosted that run this little speedo porn empire of mine (Little and Empire don’t quite fit) and it meant my sites went offline.

This is what my server admin Kip is paid all that money to keep track of and everything is/was backed up 100%.
These datacenters are HUGE and are big business and they really don’t go offline very often. If costs everyone a fortune when they do. When it went offline we didn’t expect it to take very long before it came back online. By Wednesday morning Kip and I decided that since the datacenter hadn’t come back online, we would move to the backup servers. This is 20 hours of work for Kip (on top of his usual schedule) and then rolling back to the original settings is about the same amount of work so it is a decision we don’t take lightly.
By Wednesday night the backups started to propagate through the web and things started coming back online.
I can report now that everything is back online. For some people your proxy/ISP won’t have updated but that shouldn’t take too long to flush through the web.
Thanks to everyone for your patience and your concern when we first went offline. It is nice to know that so many off you really missed my sites.
I had a camping trip planned for this weekend, but I have a lot of work to catch up on.
Lots of new movies will be popping up over the next few days so I hope you guys are ready.
Thanks again for your support guys.
My little ‘Speedo Fetish Empire’ has one staff member, his name is Kip and he runs all the super technical stuff that I’m not smart enough to figure out. Kip lives in a mountain town in Colorado.
We started working together years ago and for a while we hadn’t met in person. He was recommended to me through a mutual friend. I knew that Kip was/is gay but that didn’t really matter for the job since I handle most of the content and he looks after the technical stuff.
After about two years of talking to each other pretty much every day, we finally met in person. I went over to Colorado to ‘work’ as well as go snowboarding. That trip cemented our friendship… OK, OK, we were both single, horny and hanging out in his hottub in speedos meant that we fucked each others brains out for the two weeks that I was there. I couldn’t think of a better way to create what will probably be a life long friendship.
Since then Kip has been to Australia and wants to move here, and every year since I’ve gone back to Colorado snowboarding.
Last years trip was just before the Covid stuff really started and it was a bit of a different trip as Kip had a proper boyfriend so we didn’t get to fool around at all. They broke up not long after and Kip said he would have a trip to Australia to get over the break up blues. With all the travel restrictions that hasn’t happened, but I was still looking forward to a snowboarding trip in early 2021.
But it doesn’t look like that is going to happen either.
I just found out that as an Aussie, I cannot leave Australia without permission. What the fuck?!?!?!
If you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident you cannot leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions. (https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/leaving-australia)
I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this? Does this sound like the USSR to anyone? I think this is a rule in North Korea? That is really not cool at all.
Looks like no hottub fun in Colorado for Dave this year.
