There are times when I wish I was a drinker… Right now is one of those times when I came across the following site – mmurph @ Mac.COM… It describes a cocktail machine – an automated one. You tell it what you want to drink, and how much you want to drink, and it mixes it for you. The only thing it does not do is work with carbonated drinks… Well, there are other web sites showing how to do them so that you can have Coke on tap. I am not sure I like the software… I am sure that it can be done much better. Some cute graphical application would improve things significantly.

I have been looking for a VB.NET application to try in VS.2005, and that might be it… An improved user interface to a machine like that… Not that I would build it, but even so just doing the software would be uber-cool, and probably bring me up to speed with the latest version of VisualBasic before I need it for a work project.

A couple of links… Firstly, some failed international Uni students have started a hunger strike in Australia. And News.Com.AU is reporting that Telstra have outsourced mobile distribution to Brightstar. From personal experience, Brightstar does not have the worlds greatest stock control unfortunately. Bad move for Telstra!
