I really need to start blogging this stuff when I think of it. I brought a 50mm lens while I was in SFO, err I was in SFO for JavaOne.

Anyway back to the point I brought a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and it has been wonderful - I'd forgotten that shutter speeds faster than 500 ms existed.

I think the lens may if anything let in too much light :|

It's loverly, have a look on flickr ( Also pictures of SFO and the Moo party ) there are some pictures of Gordon's Bay Anna and I took the day I got back.

How good was the China MotoGP, just finished watching it - hoping the rest of the season is that good.

It would be nice if the other Ducati and Yamaha were up the front as well, but it was nice to see Hopkins up there in a solid 3rd place - bring on France tomorrow.

My only dislike of watching the MotoGP is wondering what is going to happen - will my connect last, will it bomb out, will the audio get out of sync with the video.

It would be nice if you could book dedicated blocks of bandwidth - Sunday night from 22:00 for 3 hours. Shit I'd even pay, I mean I know I've signed up for a 24 Mbps connection and I only want 1/24th of that guaranteed for 3 hours - but still I'd pay.

Oh god, someone on the news has just said " how much content do we really need "
this is to do with science classes.
None, just put them in front of fox news I'm sure they'll learn everything they need. For fucks sake in another generation people wont be able to shit for themselves.

Blair out, Brown in.
Chirac out, Sarkozy in.
Bush out, who in ?
Howard out - October elections apparently.
Helen Clark - We'll find out next year, not really that important in the grand scheme of things, much like Australia. However France and England will be interesting to watch over the upcoming months and years.
Sarkozy wasn't my preferred choice, however having read a brilliant article in economist I'm interested to see how he goes. France is in desperate need or reform and it will be painful.
Brown could be the best thing for Britain in a long while, but will need to move outside of the Iraq Halo and hope there are still people interested in values and not media created spin.
Bush out, please got not Hilary, then again the next leader of the US will not be a president, they will be the first. The first black or the first woman president.
Howard - Rudd is looking better and has managed not the implode, it will be interesting to see how it pans out.
New Zealand is to far out and god only knows if they have moved forward enough to have a credible opposition.
