Jesus people will really write any shite they want. I thought papers had editors to check they weren’t publishing complete crap – apparently not.

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?

Tuesday, December 16, 2003

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.

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".
