This blog entry will probably be written in two parts… An evening part, and a morning part. It is now 11:10PM and I have recently got home from the meeting. I would guess the meeting took a good three hours, with some frank exchanges of views. In the end the course of action in the short term was obvious… There was only one choice of what needed to be chosen, and we are now looking at how to implement the decision. Unfortunately I cannot go into the reasons here right what this course of action is…

Right now I am fairly tired, and if I closed my eyes I think I would have the QWERTY’s in the morning. For those who don’t know, the QWERTY’s is the condition that you get when you fall asleep with your face on a computer keyboard – the impression that the keyboard leaves on your face. This is a DILBERT thing.

I have mentioned the polygamist Dilbert cartoon before. The other classic has Dilbert going to an airline counter, finding that he has been ‘bumped’ and is not able to get a flight. On the next frame he is saying ‘I paid for this flight. I demand service’. On the last frame he is taped to the wing of the plane using duct tape, and he says “You know, I am not convinced that there really is a thing called ‘Duct Tape Class'”. Sometimes you have to be careful what you demand.

Now Wednesday Morning 6:24AM

OK… I have had some sleep. And no QWERTY’s for me – but there was a nice warm bed. Ayway when I woke up this morning the program I had been working on yesterday had crashed. And I pressed the wrong button so I have no idea why. ARGH. Maybe I should have woken up first.

Pixar

There is a cute Article on AintItCool.Com detailing a tour of PIXAR. The coolest is the cute little ‘houses’ that some of the animators work in. The have roofs and doors all inside a huge building. That is the way to make employees feel important.

There is also an article on the SMH WWW site about how the ‘NSW Office of Industrial Relations’ “Raided” one of the restraunts from the Channel 7 show “My Restraunt Rules” over how much workers are being paid. From the description I would not have called it a raid, but it does make an interesting story.

Looking on the SMH WWW site, they list the most popular stories for the SMH and THE AGE in Melbourne. The interesting thing is that the most popular story in The Age is one on the FireFix Web Browser. Rather computer savy in Melbourne? Well, no. SlashDot.Org linked to the story on their WWW site causing the increased traffic. That is why…

Music:

In the car I have the soundtrack from “Love Actually”. I do so love that movie. The wedding is so cute… The whole movie is cool. Now LAND is on Random Play, featuring one of the members of Midnight Oil. Cool song. Great for this time of the morning. Now “Can’t fight the moonlight” from the movie “Coyote Ugly” is on. This is a movie I didn’t really have any desire to watch until I was ‘forced’ to watch it on a flight from Sydney to LA.
