Tonight I finally zeroed all my credit cards.. wooooo!! What a feeling.. of remorse 🙂 However, it’s nice to turn a corner and be faced with the possibility of maybe, just maybe, being able to retain some of that hard earned paycheck the next month.. It’s been a […]
Hi all. Edit: if this entry helped you, please leave a comment! Thanks 🙂 Virgin Mobile Australia (i.e not UK) now offer a decent WAP/MMS/GPRS data plan. This has been a long time coming and is great news for consumers. However, if you use a Windows Mobile […]
Let me introduce bash.org with the following quote: <malaclypse> The general rule on about people on IRC seems to be "Attractive, single, mentally stable: choose two" It is with this feeling in mind that bash.org is so funny. If you’re not familiar with IRC then you’ll probably not […]
Today.. Polite SQL Server manners.. 1. Use a consistent naming convention Pretty obvious rule, this one.. Best to try and stick to a common SQL syntax too… 2. Indexes: use them Why, oh why does it take so long to query 100,000 rows? 3. Keep the […]
Well, it’s a damn good thing I’m not ET – ’cause for a while there I couldn’t phone home. Three weeks ago I broke my mobile phone – iMate Jamin – when (encased in the protective thingy) it careened off my belt to land face first on the floor of the […]
Hi. On the weekend past I made a coffee for a friend and after adding skim milk, the picture attached was the end result. Reckon I could’ve sold it on eBay?? If I’d frozen it, it would have been spoilt. 🙁 Do you think it looks a lot […]
Well, the weekend’s over and now it’s Monday. The weekend Wobblies looked every bit as shaky as we’ve come to expect in the first half until the second half when Gregan came on and the team was transformed, once again, into soem kind of cohesive force. The team […]
According to this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/ausdev/archive/2007/05/03/windows-vista-beta-2-rc1-and-rc2-set-to-expire.aspx Those still running Beta and Release Candidate copies of Windows Vista are soon to be set to deal with their OS expiring. This as a consequence means that people will either have to upgrade to the RTM version (which isn’t a bad idea) […]
Hi. Well, I’ve been thinking about sitting through another Akira Kurasawa epic sometime soon. I have a number of options, but can’t decide which one to choose. Maybe you can help. I’ve got four options (four unviewed films): 1. Throne of Blood – Japanese adaptation of Macbeth (filmed […]
According to this post there be no PDC this year. This means that TechEd will undoubtedly be huge this year. Get your tickets now. While you’re at it maybe it’s time to learn about: Codename ‘Orcas’ == next version of Visual Studio SQL Server (Katmai) == next version of […]
So, this is more of a rant than a feature posting. At 7:32 PM on Monday 28th May 2007 I posted a support question to the TomTom.com website through an account which was mandatory (to be created) as part of filing a support "question". Basically, I bought a […]
Well, I’m pretty depressed with the state of Australia right now. Pretty damn ticked off, to be precise. So sick and tired I reckon I should set up my own policital party. The Liberals can’t be trusted. The Labor party are too incompetent (at any level) to be in […]
Hiya, all. Some new content for you. Phil Beadle (of DNN and Readify fame) yesterday introduced me to a video clip demonstrating how this thing is used and I must say, I’m a big fan. Note: I’m not a huge fan of WYSIWYG or drag and drop, but this […]
Hi ‘Yall Well, nothing new really, but I’m moving back onto a very heavy project so my updates will, unceremoniously, become somewhat less often. Shame, but I just won’t have the time to act as ostentatiously as I would like.. Anyhow, in the meantime watch this space – […]
Well, visitation to the site has gone down, to basically none [none = me]. I’ve often wondered if there was much point to maintaining a blog that no one reads. So.. Unless someone puts something in the address book, or leaves a comment – or visits the goddamn site, […]
