Something and a bit redux

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008
  • Many things have happened, given my last published update was September 14th :)
  • Went to something to do with the iPhone that I can’t talk about.  And yet I can talk about programming the iPhone. Stupid NDA. Met some interesting people and talked shop.
  • Wandered aimlessly around Sydney. Well, there was the Lindt café, beer, much walking (and thus blisters), cheap cherries (AU$7-8/kg), Qantas Club, art and nice Unagi-don. Oh, and Nicole and Hugh opening their film. Catching up with friends was good too, although would have liked to catch up with more of them!
  • Less than a week away and already Bilby and Cygnet have changed noticeably.
  • My father made 3 score and 10. Hopefully now the world is a different place to what it was then.
  • Shopping with the whole family
  • Deb’s fabulous Disco 40th
  • Camera (box) shopping
  • J’s first Birthday party
  • Dreams of people falling. People falling in reality :(
  • SF@The pub

The fortnight and a bit, redux

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

 

  • Home Based Learning Network trade fair. I won the first door prize :)
  • Touring the frozen eastern states. Qantas cancels two of my flights due to maintenance issues, and books me on the earlier flight. Fortunately I am able to make it to the airport on time in both cases, although one of them involves eating my dinner in the car… One flight is on a plane flown up from Melbourne to replace the original aircraft. The new plane has a loose interior panel next to my seat, which the hostie kicks into place :) And the reading lights don’t work. Hopefully nothing else is wrong with it!
  • I’m going to try a cut for those who like such things. Apologies if this doesn’t work on the syndicated feed.
  • (more…)

Aussies for ANZUS

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

These people scare me, they’re preparing to demonstrate at APEC. Or maybe it’s really just some elaborate Chaser plot?

Meanwhile I believe mobile phone reception will be dropping out in Sydney to herald the arrival of George W. Bush within the next 24 hours.
