Hi Everyone, Given that (Microsoft’s) TechEd 2008 is a little over a month away now, I thought I might find out who is planning on attending in Sydney this year? Last year I didn’t think about it until the week before TechEd. This year, I’m thinking it would be a […]

Hi Folks, This week the blog entries may vary as I have sporadic access to emails and so forth. Entries may vary in length and regularity. Normal service will resume soon. Please vote on the previous two posts! Cheers, /R
Well, how my blog writing process goes (yes, there is actually a process) is that I typically think of something to write about – and then I’ll post a draft to the blog. This can happen almost any time of the day or night. What basically ends up happening, is […]
Sorry folks, my previous web host stopped providing web hosting last Friday, so last week I had a bit of trouble getting the sites across to another host. It’s taken a large portion of my personal time, trying to organise everything – hence few blog posts. The good news is […]
The topic of how to improve Tech Ed (Australia) came up today from various avenues. Me being me, I’ve decided to blog my comments/feedback. More in-depth sessions (make them longer if need be)! Potentially half of the attendees work with the technology on a daily basis, we don’t need the […]

There’s an auction coming up shortly at Christie’s according to this story from the NY times (online). Included is a copy of Nicolaus Copernicus’s book “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium” printed in 1543 which arguably kicked off an era of thought which contravened the thinking of the day (predominantly driven my […]
So we’re trying a new procedure to combat my restless leg syndrome (RLS). It has been encouraging thus far, but unfortunately my usual dose (300mg of Madopar) isn’t working for some reason and I’m up, again, wondering if I’m stuck with this condition.. What better a time than to look […]
First and foremost, let me take the time to congratulate Readify’s own David Burela who is a member of this years winning team (in Australia) in the Imagine cup! His team will go on to compete, representing Austgralia at the Imagine Cup world final in Paris later this year. Excitement! […]
So my wife and I have been residents up north for a little while now. Getting to know the lay of the land, as some might say. Tonight was a big deal – our first "State of Origin" clash in Queensland. This is a series of Rugby League games which […]
Some may be wondering where have my blog posts been? I’ve just been a little ultra-busy of late, but plan to return to form shortly. There has been much work and interesting things happening and I’ll work to write up what I can. Good luck to Paul Stovell tonight, he […]
Hi All, On Monday I finally went out and bought a new handset. The choice: a HTC Touch (not the one with the keyboard though). There is a link to the official site here. Now, of course, this means Windows Mobile 6. The possibilities seem endless! </mad laughter> Let me […]
As per last year, this year I am in a Super 14 (Rugby Union) tipping comp. Unlike last year, I forgot to put picks in during the season a massive three weeks in a row! Here is how I am tracking right now: You are ranked 931 out of 5,601 […]
It’s time for another Proclamation of Doom.. This time, it’s my fair and well balanced government who are adopting the same puritanical overbearing right wing fundamentalist viewpoints which we have come to know and love from the United States government: the systematic removal of a democratic society’s right to privacy. […]
So, I was going over some old emails and trying to catch up on my learning (I’m currently doing some Professional Development) and I came across this interesting tidbit. Seems that managed C++ will be dropped from the Microsoft certification program. This is probably fine with me, I don’t know […]
