Cayne's been here almost a week and everyone is still talking which is a good thing. 

I haven't blogged in a long time.  

oh well.

Ventriloquist flatulence - ability to throw your farts. It turned out it was just Anna's phone in a different room, but still - the idea is interesting.

Just watched Across The Great Divide, it made me think about how little I got into local music while I was in the UK. It was a mistake, local music everywhere is good and should be embraced.

I've just looked through the photos from the Madgex party photos and a couple of things struck me.

• I can keep in touch with my friends who are geographically disparate.
• I've never given a lot of credence with the sociology and other humanity studies that have been going on into how technology is advancing at a rate greater than we can adopt it. Until tonight, when looking through the photos, I was struck by the idea that Jane had put them on flickr for the local Brightonians and the medium used to tell them about it also allowed me to "listen in". The thought of listening in made me wonder if I should be looking through the photos, if it was some how an invasion of my friends personal space.
  
• No matter how connected you are with people digitally, nothing counts for physical time.
  

This all brought me to the following conclusions:

• Technology is reducing the distance between people, but it isn't quite there. It misses some of the intimacies and that I guess exacerbates the distance, not being able to talk to people or see them dulls them, seeing and hearing them just out of reach is some times harder.
• How does the speed of adoption allow people to understand and fully comprehend what they are immersing themselves in?
• Being along way away from friend is still pants
• The party looked good.
• Seeing happy people you know is a wonderful feeling.
  

I'm hanging out for some screen shots of Sublime Text, sounds like a cool idea.

Looks as though we may we finally get good bars in Sydney, read here.

I just bumped into a guy from school, how cool.

Really don't understand people who don't want to live forever, or at least for the very long term. Different perspectivies I guess.

On a different note, my song of the moment is 32-20 Blues a very strong second is Come On in My Kitchen, from the same album.

Getting well back into blues and jazz.

So regicide isn't the killing of Reggie ?

Moose milk.

Hmmm google maps have lost there Satellite view for the entire world from Australian IP addressed, one would assume this is due to APEC and terrorist being A) so disorganized so as to not already have there maps ( because the CBD moves so much b) already be in Australia.

Then again, it could just be that google has lost all satellite image data for the entire world for people from AU IPs.

Google earth works, although one would assume it is cached data.

gah gah GAH HCF has to be the worst website I've had to use in a while, payment only works in IE and the morons don't understand * required means. I've just filled in a form for notification that didn't * all required fields, Possibly because depending on the information depended on what was required, but I'm thinking javascript would get ya round that, seeing as you have destroyed the usability of the rest of your site with it, why not finish the job.

honestly you should be able to charge people for wasting your time with websites that don't work.


GAH

I'm back from Blighty, have given notice at Travelocity, left and am now working for Spiral Arm full time. All rather exciting. I'm also spending far to much time pissing about with twitter and Linked In. I have several things to blog about including new toys and a couple of weddings, I'll also attempt to get my photos sorted and onto flickr.
Sorry no links, I'm sure you can all work them out if you are interested.

If you think I'm slack and not saying what I'm doing, check twitter.

Is cupcakes a euphemism for breasts ?

Made it here safe, 26 hours is far to long on a plane, at least in cattle class.
Have made it to several pubs and pints and real ale and pub food.

Also found out about sea gulling, my life is now richer.

Where the bloody hell are ya - You too can move to a Australia as a doctor.

Auckland is between two and three degrees warmer than Sydney today, that is just so wrong.

I've had a really annoying cough of late, keeping me up most of last night. So today I went to the chemist and got cough medicine, which may have the unfortunate side of effect of acting as a laxative.

Is it me or if this doesn't work 100 percent am I in trouble?
