There are times when I just feel like having some time off. Right now there is too much stress in my life, and there is too little I can do to reduce it unfortunately. Some of it is personal. Some is business. Like everyone I do not like stress. I can cope with it fairly well, but that does not mean that I have to like it.<\/p>\n
One stressful thing – a company here in Australia has applied for a provisional patent on a GPS tracking system based on radio. Their system is aparently highly innovative. Their system is not actually patentable in the form that they are protraying. You see, I started using an almost identical system 4-5 years before the date of the patent. My friend who actually developed the system I use published his first paper on the subject in 1992. Of course this is not mentioned anywhere on the prior art for the provisional patent. <\/p>\n
Also I will have to spend more time with the horribly expensive lawyer later this week with some business issues. I have a real problem with paying $450 an hour for the services of anyone. I dont know about you, but $1 for 8 seconds of anyones time is excessive. <\/p>\n
And then there is some other stuff. Unfortunately my copy of the Copyright Act is getting Dog Eared. Not a good sign. I have better things to do than reading legislation. OK – I know I can pay someone to do it for me, and that they would be trained to do this. But in this case I am the one who needs to know since there is too much information to wade through in order to make a conclusion. <\/p>\n
Anyway I have some more work to do… And I MUST do it now. <\/p>\n
Speak later. Ciao<\/p>\n
Music:For once the music here is not something I am playing. It is something that I am singing in my own head. There is a song from The Wall by Pink Floyd. The lyrics go something like “I want to go home. I want to take off this uniform and leave the show.” I cannot think what the title is, and The Wall is one of the few Pink Floyd albums that I do not have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
