The weather is beautiful outside – it really is. There is not a cloud in the sky and the sun is slowly setting – and there is a slight wind. And things are fairly quiet. It is the time of …
When I was out today before I put the iPod on I had the radio on – and there was a hauntingly beautiful song on. It was ‘Beautiful Life’ which in the past had been performed by the ‘Ace of …
I can see how it can happen, but I do not totally believe it. A mueseum in spain has lost a 38 ton sculpture. It is not as bad as it sounds. The sculpture was in storage, and when a …
Morning meeting today with a new client. Should be a fairly quick meeting, but you never can tell. Sometimes the meetings that you expect to take five minuts take hours. And the reverse is true sometimes too! Then I need …
Slight problem with the SMS control. Only minor one. The code to send SMS messages is working, but for some reason it is being a tiny bit too aggressive with the formatting requirements of responses. As an example, I sent …
I have traced the problem with the SMS control. It has to do with the PIN NUMBER function of the SonyEricsson modems. The cards do not have a PIN number requested. And I should have worked this out a lot …
ARGH. Some issues with the SMS control. I am not sure what is wrong, but the software cannot seem to work out what the SMS Message Control Centre number is. This is strange. It used to work, but is not …
My VoIP phone arrived a bit earlier. It is actually a nice phone – seems like good audio quality, and only took about 25 minutes to configure. A manual would have helped, but I am not sure how much. The …
Home after a couple of meetings. Not sure what I can say about them, but here goes. The first meeting went well… I found a parking spot at the Redfern Shopping Centre. It is amazing how these little shopping centres …
I need to pick up a couple of pre-paid SIM CARDS with Telstra today. They offer 1c per SMS between prepaid users, and this will be good to load test the SMS software as well as to test the SMS …
This morning I have a meeting with a company doing a Reality TV show. Before being scared with the prospect of me appearing on ‘Big Brother’ or ‘Survivor’, or even worse, ‘Australian Idol’, do not be alarmed. I have not …
The MythBusters show is really cool. Discovery have now released some videos that did not quite make it into the shows – dues to potential liability with the actions shown. Some things are apparently too dangerous or irresponsible to show, …
I did a 3-4Km run a bit earlier. Same distance as my last time, although I think that I did it slightly faster. I cannot be sure. I really need to drag out my GPS and start taking it with …
The cable for the SMS application worked well. Actually, so did the application, but I am getting ahead of myself here. I got much of the programming outsourced. Frankly I could have done the work without issue, but right now …
One quote written, one phone call receieved putting me onto a short list for a Request for Quotes. And about to make up a serial cable. Not a bad effort for a morning I would guess. And it is only …
