Still alive, great birthday and christmas, more soon.

ok so Love Actually, doesn't come out in Oz, until the 26th, now given the theme and content of the movie, does ANYone else think this is fucking silly timing?

We went and saw Love Actually, great movie - funny and you leave feeling all warm and fuzzy. When we got home we were just in time to watch some fat arse jump on Emma’s car, nice dents (No more warm fuzzy feeling either). Ah don't you love fat drunk people; there should either be a law against them or a license so you can shoot them. Fat Fucker hope his heart stops or something, I mean really I must so have Karma in the bank. If I do I wanna spend some of it - Baa.
Hmmm also, I looked at the Calendar today and there is only a week left of me being young, after this week it's all down hill. I'll need a walking frame and adult nappies. Then again at least I wont have to get up to use the loo or worry about falling over when I drink too much - Silver lining I guess.

Doesn’t it peeve you when sites don’t have RSS feeds, it’s beginning to feel strange to have to go to a site to see if its been updated. Not just have a spinning cube in the corner of the screen – I use Feed Reader. I’m also aware that I don’t have a feed either before anyone comments.

I have been reading in the general press and – I was going to say industry, but it’s more geek blogs – about bluejacking. I’ve been hearing more and more about Bluetooth in the last few months. I was interested in it about 3 years ago but then only the top of the line phones had it and umm, nothing else – so I lost interest.
Bluetooth in the news again has once again sparked my interest – so I wandered off to see if I could now write Bluetooth enabling applications for phones and the like. Low and behold I can, but no phones yet exist, and I’d be writing for one of about 3 emulators – all I which I would have to pay for and none of which seem to be backed by the major Phone Companies. So it looks like its back to sleep for Jono in terms of Bluetooth and Java hopefully not for 3 years this time.

Relaxing weekend, went to the Australian Reptile park on Sunday, the park is MUCH better than website, got to say hello to a Koala and see a load of other animals some even reptiles :D. Good fun even if we did seem to be one of the only non kid ridden groups.

This would be funny if I hadn't happened to me before.

Melbourne was good, loads of cool bars, was good to catch up with Tom and Julia. Rugby was good last weekend, although both of us felt like crap on Sunday.

On a different subject

So you have decided to implement some API/ Specification with a few of your friends / co-workers / script kiddies [delete non-applicable].
I have a few small requests:

1. Unless you plan to finish the fucking thing in a timely fashion - just go back to looking at porn or something.


2. Every time you implement a feature that either
   
   
   
   • Makes your product non wildly standard,
   
   
   • Hinders you from finishing the core functionality,
   
   
   
   Cut off at LEAST one of your fingers - I'll leave it up to you how many you remove – it should be inline with how much you have fucked up your product. - think of it as a primitive priority tracker.
   
   


3. Documentation– assume that whoever is going to use your product isn’t say YOU and maybe didn’t write the fucking thing and may not know what you were thinking when you only write half a sentence.
   


4. If you get bored easily with documentation - examples are good - they at least show the poor bastard trying to use your product the twisted way your mind works – also cut off a few fingers for good measure.
   

Had a good weekend with Emmas folks, loads of people over for a house warming and then Peters birthday on Sunday. Managed to see some Oz wild life that wasn't road kill which was cool, we are back in not very sunny Sydney now. On a completely different subject isn't it interesting how roaches can withstand a nuclear blast, being frozen in ice, roach spray and all manner of other bad shit™, but not a small amount of force exerted in the right direction.

Oh for the love of sweet Jesus today is toys day. First I find a slot car set I MUST have NOW
and then I find out that SSX3 is out.

Have just finisehd watching scratch with Emma, baaa beyond words - Qbert is a god.

new sport: abuse by

haiku - too late for athens

Maybe toronto



_sorry

It at least makes you think before you abuse people :D

Went to see Madame Butterfly last night at the Opera House, it was good. This morning we went for a swim at the Bondi Icebergs salt water pools, nice thing to do first thing in the morning.

Don't read if you haven't seen Kill Bill
Just got back from Seeing Kill Bill vol1, the dialog is well over the top, pulp fiction not hamlet, remember, I liked it over all I think I will let it settle before saying much more, apart from maybe the sound track was also a bit OTT is places - still overall I liked it. more later

In other news Emma brought an iPod, she has only had it for a day so I will hold back from the full apple products are godly. So far it seen pretty piss easy to use, it got me to install itunes even though I'm a) not on a mac b) don't have an ipod (Yet for both I'm hoping). Funny after Emma saying dont' need 40 GB, don't need 40GB she started ripping CDs about 10 into she says " I should have got the bigger one".

So retards of the world unite and move to Australia and plan online music sales. So installed iTunes thinking ooo ooo online music, but no, only available in the States. Email apple - no response, ring apple - “ No – check the website it might happen, but Australia has different yadda yadda yadda”, zzzzzzzzz. Look online - Telstra has ONE fucking label signed and may have something out before Christmas, a couple of other labels are also thinking about, baaaaaaaaaa. Kids if you wanna stop people nicking your music make it available online, here think about this “Oooo I really wanna listen to <insert favorite band of the day/> shall I fuck about looking on whatever has replaced napster and Kazaa for the full version of a song that is labeled right or should I spend 4 fucking seconds and a dollar and download it from itunes “ Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - read this

So Apple.com.au doesn't go anywhere but www.apple.com.au does, ummmmm apple has good usability - but in this case pants pants pants.

Suckage, the Alpha was / is a great processor, used to kick arse.

We have just had a fan-bloody-tastic weekend, even if it did get off to a shaky start. We had planned to go out for a few quiet drinks with friends, but as things do, it got a little out of hand and we both woke up feeling like crap - not even greasy egg sarnees helped. Anyway we managed to drag ourselves out of the house and up to the hunter valley to Opera in the Vineyards. Really cool idea, loads of great food and booze and you take everything else. We lay round listening to the music, eating and drinking. On the Sunday we drove round the Hunter Valley a bit more then headed home, with what appeared to be everyone else in Sydney, only took about 1/2 hour longer than I thought it was going to so the traffic wasn't too bad. Anyway go to the Hunter Valley, very beautiful.

So the squirrel from the bench, catbert and bofth, have nothing on Foxtel program director, or whatever their evil title maybe. So Sunday moto GP is on, and they show the 125 and the 250 races and I�m just getting ready for the main event and what happens, they switch to a replay of the Saturday RWC game between Italy and NZ, baa it�s a �"$%#�%$ replay, they then show the race �delayed� later that night which I miss. Then today the race is on and what happens they push it back so they can show Baseball, this I can almost understand because its live, however its still baseball, baaa evil evil evil I tell you, what was wrong with showing it live instead of bumping it so we can see 54 million rugby replays, arses.
