Night shifts for java developers? How does that work? Around the clock development. Pass your source onto Frank who works the night shift.

Man, is there any doubt that globalisation is going to come back to bite the rich nations who are currently benefiting from cheap Nike's, iPod's and web services? What can't skill can't be shoved off shore? Mangagement, leadership, creativity, personality, humour?

Night shifts? I tell you, the average teenager (which I know I was) in Australia who is more than third generation seems blissfully complacent.

II'm so interested to see where this goes in ten years.

What do you want to eat?

Do you like a simple menu, or lots of options?

We went to one place that only had six things on the menu then we went to this place that had hundreds with lots of extra options and specials and crazy stuff.

Is Australia ready for this?

Muzz Buzz Coffee to Go

It would have to be right in my way for me to think about it.

Of course I don't even have a car now, so not really an issue.... The coffee place near me is so great. Very tasty. Hmmmm.

Welcome to Friday

Keep it Real!

Hey, some quick random thoughts;

1. This morning I saw an ad and thought - wow, 2 gigabytes, what does that mean? Then I realised it was the radio station 2GB.

2. It's so sunny in Spring, is it going to be really hot with bush fires this summer or really rainy?

3. California is suing car makers for causing pollution.

3. Microsoft is releasing an iPod thing called Zune. It comes in White, Black and Brown.

3.1 I mapped out a run I did in San Fran - See it here

e. I drilled a hole in a wall at home because I can.

f. I fixed the washing machine. (The hose wasn't on right). Ryan, have you fixed my showerhead yet?)

XXIX. My DVD with hard drive has to be on standby to record stuff. Sux.

45.2.6.1. KC cracked me up this morning by finishing a convo with "Keep it Real" - anyone get the reference?

That is all.

Mum and Dad Back

Try to think of River Kwai without whistling. I can't.

So mum and dad are back from Europe (that reminds me of something funny;

"When my parents arrived from Europe, they were dirty, hungry and pennyless. That's the last time I let them go Kontiki!" from www.topfive.com
)
and Phuket. They had a great time and bought me a little wooden Elephant to pass on the little elephant tradition.

Great to have you back.

Sofa and Futon

Petanque With Pianos And Sofas
Originally uploaded by JimPurbrick.

I need to buy a couple of sofa's and maybe a futon for my new pad.

Any tips on where to go? I want nice, but not crazy expensive.

Also, I'd take a second hand futon or sofa bed if anyone had one.

Lemme know.

I'm Back

Hurry back

And what a beautiful day.

Did I miss much?
