Loved.com is still for sale
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Any Cloud in a Crowded Atmosphere?
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011Cloud Computing. It’s what we need, along with Agile and Scrum/Scrum Masters.
All these new things….how do people keep up?
How about WAN, RAD and Project Managers? Some poeple invent new terminology just to keep their jobs. They’re called journalists and/or marketing people.
Whilst the technology embracing these technologies has evolved since the 1990s, it is still the underlying principle of the original idea. But no, we have to give them NEW names.
Enjoy your stand up meetings whilst i lounge in my luxurious chair updating my projects via my iPad2.
cheers,
me
The Lunatics Are Escaping from the Asylum
Friday, March 18th, 2011aaah i remember that song…Fun Boy Three. From the 1980s. Also recently covered by Collide.
Now i’m gonna be a bit opinionated and contraversial…the asylum seekers on Christmas Island have rebelled and torched the place.
Send those people back.
Fuck em.
They jumped the queue anyway, now they burn the detention centre down while we’re trying to figure out if they are legit asylum seekers or not??!!
What are they hiding?
Send em back. No mercy.
Untaught History
Monday, March 14th, 2011Something that is not taught in Australian history, nor is it in USA history. But in the 1950s/1960s we fought the Indonesians.
The Indonesians expanded. They took over many parts of where we are. Malaya, (now Malaysia) asked Australia for help.
Australia purchased the F1-11 fighter bomber from the USA in the 1960s during the Vietnam war, in case we needed to drop a nuke on Jakarta. True and scary story.
As it turned out, the majority of Aussies think we should have just done it.
Looking After Our Senior Citizens
Monday, March 14th, 2011I worked from home on Friday. It;s a privilege to be able to do that if you need to. The Australian arm of where i was working has an issue with it, and my immediate “boss” that was from the USA said work from home whenever you want as quote “everyone works from home at this Co in the USA”…
Anyway, the local Co has a strangely different policy….they assume you are slacking off which is not true.
Thankfully i no longer work for them and have no desire to ever work for the Australian arm ever again.
Anyway, i had lunch and went up to my local shopping place, Studfield Shopping Centre…basically a “strip shopping centre”…named as it’s a strip of land along a major road, Stud Road.
Keeping the Faith
Monday, February 8th, 2010thanks to everyone that have stood by me thru my time of need.
In particular, BlueHost…my hosting co, and my friends and family.
I’ll try to be a better son, brother and friend in 2010.
thanks and massive wishes!

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

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
