Two things on my agenda for today… FIrst is that I have a heap of programming to do… Maybe not a heap, but I have enough to keep me going. And I have some warranty work to do on some trackers. With some luck these will be easy to fix and get out the door back to the clients. We will see.

According to the BBC, a German man is attempting to set up a new airline. This airline will only fly between Duesseldorf and Tokyo on 747’s with an ‘All Business Class’ service. But that is not what is most interesting about this airline. The thing is that Smoking will be allowed in all the 150 or so seats on board. The man, a former stockbroker, is seeking the start-up cash for Smintair – Smoker’s International Airways. link

The SMH is reporting on how the TAXI’s charge 10% extra for CabCharge and Credit Cards. I take taxi’s so rarely that I had no idea that the surcharge was so high. 10% is a lot. Part of the reason for this is that the Taxi companies in the past have been able to force EFTPOS machines from a particular company onto their drivers. This is changing thanks to a competition tribunal which is allowing drivers to choose whoever they want. Not before time I would guess…
