I got offered some more work from one of my existing clients today – some embedded hardware work with a small display… Unfortunately I cannot say much about the product at the moment, but it will be quite useful… Another …
Today I have been hacking up some VB.NET code to interface to OziExplorer. A client suggested that he needed a product, and I joked that I could have that ready by the end of the day. And by the look …
The drive over to Pymble is certainly not a bad one… Traffic never seems too bad, and the main problem is staying to something approximating the speed limit. I had a strange networking problem earlier today – I was trying …
If you have been wondering what I have been up to this morning, and I am sure you have, then the answer is the graphic below. It is a circuit board I am attempting to design for a project – …
Dinner with my brother went well.. He has been and gone – and apparently has had a good birthday which is good. I am going over to Pymble tomorrow, which is slightly inconvenient since I was planning to be doing …
It is my brothers birthday today so he is coming across for dinner… I have grabbed a book for him, and will probably get him a DVD of some type too… My brother absolutely loves reading, and I am sure …

4:50AM… Half time with the Soccer World Cup… Italy vs. France. And for some reason I am not finding this match as good as the Italy vs. Australia match… It was really tempting to just turn the alarm off and …
Another movie – Fast and the Furious – the original, not the new one. Near the beginning of the movie they have a heap of cars coming up to a diner and people getting out of their cars… The only …
What I cannot believe is how little plot some movies have. Take an example I saw yesterday… I have always loved the music from the movie Flashdance, but have never actually seen the movie – I dunno why. I actually …
One of the WWW sites I visit had a banner advert for a strange thing called The DaVinci Coder. This is just a hilarious advertising campaign for an SQL product as far as I can work out. Quite satirical really …
The other thing… friday night I wanted to record Silent Witness on the TV since I was going out. I only made one mistake – I had been watching a DVD, and paused it. And then I changed the channel …
I was surfing on the Foxtel channels and came across the HowTo Channel, and the show ‘A year at Kew’ talking about the british Royal Botanical Gardens. After seeing this I am not totally convinced that I want to visit …
