Back In Black
Saturday, September 12th, 2009I’m better now. So, aaaah i was out ‘n about. No real plans. Go up to Broken Hill….go to Lake Eyre from there. Sounded ok. Got me new exhaust system too. Sounds good. More economy…ticks all the boxes. Sounds like a V8 now tho….
Driving along. Meeting nice people. Staying at various places. And i get a call. I have to go back to Melbourne. The interview i had been waiting 8 months for.
An informal interview by the way. Not a real job interview. It went ok. I’ll hear soon. ??? And i am back in the cold of Melbourne. Typing this, i see i need to go back up to where i was gonna go…Broken Hill…Woomera, Coober Pedy.
Got me mail on hold til Sept 19. I think i’ll go pick that up….pay the bills….hold it again.
Life is too short ! Take care

Loved dot com Sale Speculation
Thursday, June 25th, 2009well…no…our share price (sic) is ok.
World market gloom and doom resounds…but here in Australia, things are good.
But me, I am thinking (yes again) of selling the Loved.com domain due to the constant bombardment of interested parties.
Yes i’ve had previous offers.
So. Here it is. $10 million USD and i get to keep the peter at loved dot com email address for one year post sale.
You get Loved.com.
that’s it
serious considerations to peter@loved.com and subsequent legals will be formalised.
take care

Loved.com for Sale pt3
Friday, March 20th, 2009Only if you want it!! Sorry been asked for more!!!
$AUD6 million or $USD6 million which ever is the most.
That is, in English, the site is for sale for 6 million United States Dollars or 6 million Australian Dollars which ever is the best for me. If the USD is worth more than the AUD then the price is in USD. You get the idea.
There are three caveats:
1) domain transfer will only happen when the cheque/check/money order has cleared and the funds deposited into my account.
2) i get to keep all of the content that was here
3) i get to keep the email address peter@loved.com for six months after the domain transfer date so i can update anything and everything that i need to update
Serious enquiries only to the above email address.
cheers

Being Made Redundant
Friday, March 20th, 2009I’m going through an interesting time in my life. I’m very circumspect and level headed these days. So last December i thought i’d enquire about Voluntary Redundancy where i work.
I’ve always been pretty good at predicting things – i asked my Mum to sell her shares a year ago and put them into cash. She didn’t, but she eventually got out after a small loss.
As for me – i could see that where i work was gonna be hit with “headcount pressure”. That’s Stock Market speak for “we have too many people and we need to lose some”. (more…)
Chewing the Fat
Sunday, March 8th, 2009City people have lost the art of true conversation. It’s all about “hang on, i’ve got a call” on the mobile/cell phone when you’re mid sentence. And “i won’t be a minute..”…meanwhile you’ve given up, paid the bill and gone and left your phone-fucked up friend in a cubicle trying to get the best reception.
Don’t let them use this as a way of dodging the bill tho. That would be BAD! We all have our days, but friends look after friends right?
Me. I’ve been out in the country. Country Australia. Country Victoria (an Australian state) to be precise.
It’s been good to actually nod and wave whilst driving the one lane roads, moving into the shoulder when another car/4WD/truck comes along. I have a fine Landcruiser 100 V8 BTW…so there you have it, but i’m always moving onto the verge (good word that) to avoid the weekend 4WD’er and the people that have NFI. Lucky for them that i can see ahead and move…for them. I have a nice bullbar 
and a nice temperament.
Manners is a thing long gone, but it shouldnt be. It isn’t hard to be courteous now and again. A hello here, a g’day there. Even a “how are you?” even if you don’t mean it. It goes a long way.
But remember to respect towns and townfolk, even if you dont like the town your are in.
Pick up your rubbish, try not to swear too much and just be polite in the towns. Save it for around the campfire in the middle of nowhere and let it all out.
cheers

Don’t bullshit me like what happened last time.
Domain transfer will happen when YOUR cheque clears.
take care

We’re Back! But not all quite right.
Friday, August 29th, 2008hey, sorry for not posting fo a while. And yes, 7:40am a sign of my new times!
I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately and was ok, until i was told that i had to work offsite coz my preferred place of work was a distraction.
Fuck off.
The project manager basically didn’t like that i had to attend team meetings and an ad hoc meetings. We are a f’ing support team after all.
No they wanted me to work in a foreign environment on a foreign computer. I DID point out that me using a Windows PC would significantly reduce my productivity – i use a Gnome Desktop, and not that it matters between Linux or Solaris, i use OpenSolaris. Given all my testing and dev work is on Solaris 10…..makes sense right?
Unless you’re using Red Hat, then that’s a “don’t get me started” type of argument. And thankfully, as aforementioned, i’m on OpenSolaris. I can’t test zones on Linux, unless i use VMWare and saccrifice RAM and resources, but given i’m 100% Solaris 10….fek…why would i?
So, when will i be back?
When will Project Managers be banned from walking up to my desk?
I think you can deduce the answer. I’m undergoing “counselling”…and will most likely work afternoons until further notice. Project Managers – we shall see.
