Cheap Therapy

• 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

• 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.

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.
