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&#8230; 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&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Right now I am fairly tired, and if I closed my eyes I think I would have the QWERTY&#8217;s in the morning. For those who don&#8217;t know, the QWERTY&#8217;s is the condition that you get when you fall asleep with your face on a computer keyboard &#8211; the impression that the keyboard leaves on your face. This is a DILBERT thing. <\/p>\n<p>I have mentioned the polygamist Dilbert cartoon before. The other classic has Dilbert going to an airline counter, finding that he has been &#8216;bumped&#8217; and is not able to get a flight. On the next frame he is saying &#8216;I paid for this flight. I demand service&#8217;. On the last frame he is taped to the wing of the plane using duct tape, and he says &#8220;You know, I am not convinced that there really is a thing called &#8216;Duct Tape Class'&#8221;. Sometimes you have to be careful what you demand. <\/p>\n<h2>Now Wednesday Morning 6:24AM<\/h2>\n<p>OK&#8230; I have had some sleep. And no QWERTY&#8217;s for me &#8211; 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. <\/p>\n<h2>Pixar<\/h2>\n<p>There is a cute <a href=\"http:\/\/aintitcool.com\/display.cgi?\">Article<\/a> on AintItCool.Com detailing a tour of PIXAR. The coolest is the cute little &#8216;houses&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p>There is also an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/articles\/2005\/03\/22\/1111254026452.html\">article<\/a> on the SMH WWW site about how the &#8216;NSW Office of Industrial Relations&#8217; &#8220;Raided&#8221; one of the restraunts from the Channel 7 show &#8220;My Restraunt Rules&#8221; 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. <\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/articles\/2005\/03\/21\/1111253920087.html?from=top5\">story<\/a> in The Age is one on the FireFix Web Browser. Rather computer savy in Melbourne? Well, no. <a href=\"http:\/\/slashdot.org\/\">SlashDot.Org<\/a> linked to the story on their WWW site causing the increased traffic. That is why&#8230; <\/p>\n<h2>Music:<\/h2>\n<p>In the car I have the soundtrack from &#8220;Love Actually&#8221;. I do so love that movie. The wedding is so cute&#8230; 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 &#8220;Can&#8217;t fight the moonlight&#8221; from the movie &#8220;Coyote Ugly&#8221; is on. This is a movie I didn&#8217;t really have any desire to watch until I was &#8216;forced&#8217; to watch it on a flight from Sydney to LA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog entry will probably be written in two parts&#8230; An evening part, and a morning part.
