Blogging Code of Ethics
I have decided to adopt the following Code of Ethics (taken from Desirable Roasted Coffee)

Can Scoble truly be a geek, or is he faking it?
If someone claiming to be a geek is completely unaware of one of the greatest Sci-Fi writers of his time, can he truly be a geek?

Automated Wireless Security
It’s probably nothing new to anyone interested in easily securing wireless networks, but I thought it was hilarious: Timers on the power cords. I have no idea if any other security measures in place, but surely turning the AP off on a schedule guarantees it cannot be abused! Maintenance at daylight savings change-overs would probably…

Font downloading continued
Please, help! How do I make CSS @font-face actually download a font??

Blog Flood!
Why have I been blogging so often recently (at least compared with my previous average)? I have borrowed a laptop from work, run a cable from the study to the lounge, and have been spending my evenings reading, coding, learning, blogging. Ok, so wireless & tablet makes a lot more sense now! 😀

Short Bytes
I’ve been using Firefox for a while, and am finding things almost daily that I love about it. Todays major feature is cross-platform usability … Using Firefox on Linux is identical to the Windows version I use everyday. Keyboard shortcuts, extensions (Sage & Adblock mainly), tabbed browsing options, Live Bookmarks, preferences – everything works the…

Unbalanced Australian Agriculture
I’ve thought about Australia’s non-household water usage vaguely before, but didn’t bother researching it to find indicative numbers. A colleague pointed this article out to me – I was gob-smacked: Guardian Unlimited | World dispatch | Plunder down under. For those who couldn’t be bothered to read it, roughly 33% of our nation’s supply of…

Playstation2 Network Adapter
In a fit of impulsiveness, I purchased the PS2 Network kit a week ago. I really wanted to get an X-Box, but the store was out and I wanted to splurge NOW rather than drive to another store… One line impression: Good, Bad, Fair, Excellent, Excellent! Good: Easy to install, no tools required, my 4…

Lukewarm, straight from the kettle
We have two ways of getting hot water in the office: A kettle (Russell Hobs), or the In-Sink-Erator 190? Hot Water tap. The hot tap claims to be 190?F or roughly 88?C – plenty hot enough to scald, make tea/coffee, etc – I think so anyway. Many others in the office use the kettle. They…

Dis-Connex
I’ve ranted about Connex and train performance before. I don’t read MX often; I feel it’s the type of paper that gives the tabloid format a bad name. When Daniel Bowen is mentioned though, chances are that they are on the right track when it comes to Public Transport Users issues. If you catch public…

Tranquility?
On the odd occaisions recently, I have experienced moments of “Peace and Tranquility”. Reflecting on those events now, I can barely remember what it felt like … It happens so rarely these days. I can’t even identify why, or how, I reached these states but I want more. Five to ten seconds 3 times in…

Band in a Bubble
I couldn’t resist. I went to see Regurgitator appearing live as the “Band in a bubble”. And I’m still not sure what to think of it. At face value, it’s a cheap tawdry marketing stunt for both the ‘Gurg and for ChannelV and the Digital Cable “pushers”. On the other hand, I have found it…

#2 – The Fridge in it’s natural camouflage
… and I think I’m only responsible for two of the “camouflage” items … My plan appears to be: release Meme content slower than Daniel and maybe I’ll catch up? Hmm. I’m not game to expose the surrounding area 😀
