My first job this morning is to spend some more time on the OzFlarm collision detection software for gliders that I have been working on. I will not go into the full details of what I need to work on, as potential users may see this, and it would then reflect badly on the product. The issues are relatively minor things, and i need to make these changes and then test them out. Thankfully this time I will not need to take my life in my hands by going on a glider flight. I do have a simulator to emulate a lot of the things I need to do.

To be frank about this, some of this work scares me. People will be relying on the work I to do protect themselves from dangerous situations. I know this is only a tool to tell them what they should already know, but even so it is a concern to me, if only in the back of my mind. And something that I need to be mindful of all the time. What is it that the hypocratic oath says – ‘First of all, do no harm’. Same here I guess.

The SMH has an article written by Tim Brunero who came second in the last series of Big Brother. In this article, Tim describes his stratergy going into the Big Brother House, and he provides some interesting insights into his thinking. This goes from how to act to get onto the show, to a statergy once he wass inside. As an anthropology student I am sure he had some interesting insights into the way that the show worked, and you can see those come out in the article.

Right now I had better get some breakfast, and look at the OzFlarm collision detection project…
