webDU 2009

I am all booked in for another trip to Sydney, this time the familiy is coming as well. Fly in Wednesday lunch, check in, then on the ferry to Manly. If there is time will try and swing by Bondi too. We are planning on going to the Aqaurium one night.

Then two days for ColdFusion and web goodness for me while the family hits the Sydney town. Looking foward to catching up with CF buddies and finally get to meet Gert Franz.

After that it is off to the Blue Mountains for the weekend. Then one more look around Sydney before flying home Monday afternoon.

Worlds Greatest Shave

If I thought I could raise more than 5 cents, I would join the time at work.

Put in a comment if you think I should do this and you will sponsor me.

nearly getting left behind in 2008

2008 was nearly a year when I got left behind in all the cool techno stuff; which has got me asking myself, 'Am I getting to old for this sh!t?'

First it was the iPod. Overpriced glorified MP3 player I said - now I own two and am looking seriously at the iPhone.

Then Twitter. Who cause that you need a coffee I said - now I tell my followers when my 5senses order come in.

Now it is Guitar Hero. Just testing it to make sure it works I said. Just one more song I said. Oh, you want an encore, OK I said. Now my fingers are bleeding so much I don't think I will be able to wrap it up.

So I used my daughter's present to take a photo of my son's present. QA 100% successfull. Time to go some wrapping - well as soon as I have finished blogging.

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009.

I dont mind standing on the train...

...well, not too much

And I don't mind moving to the back so TransPerth can squeeze in more people in (well not too much, would prefer more carriages put on)

BUT... when the train gets to the city, all the people that have been sitting down for the whole trip, staring at their books / phone / shoes to avoid eye contact with old / pregnant people, deside that is when they want to stand up - well that is when I do mind!!

Bring on the Mo

The MoGyver's (PSL IT) are doing their bit for men's health - by growing a Mo. I think we would raise more money from our partners by not having one- but hey, it's a man thing.

You can check out my progress and make a donation to Movember here
