  • @theheadsage I'm not as confident but long ago came to the same conclusion. Also, I hate their price stickers – they're too hard to remove! in reply to theheadsage #
  • Finally hooked up the old theatre system as a prototype. Works well! Now to get a new receiver with HDMI support. 5.1 sound here I come! #
  • Oh, also need a digital cable from the PC for 5.1 support, rather than current 2.1. HDMI really makes things so much easier. #
  • @chadnickbok As long as you like SGU! :) in reply to chadnickbok #
  • Getting ready for a massive site update for a client. Hoping for minimal problems! #
  • Had a few years shaved off my life today. Hoping a relaxing evening with new TV shows will help. #
  • I've now gotten more anti-Westfield spam than actual Westfield spam. FAIL. #
  • @chadnickbok Good to hear! Just wait until you get started on the Magento projects… in reply to chadnickbok #
  • Quite annoying when you're in the middle of drafting an email and accidentally send it. #
  • A crazy Friday afternoon. More so than most. #
  • @feliciaday Loved TLJ! Have you played Dreamfall? Not quite as good IMHO but well worth playing. in reply to feliciaday #
  • Again tempted by the Dell Studio 15. Enticing little vixen, and would get a very nice machine for my $1500. Should I just give in? #
  • @chadnickbok Definitely getting the 1080 screen. Thinking an extra $270 for a Blu-ray drive isn't worth it. Opinion? :) in reply to chadnickbok #
  • @tcmg I'd already tried that and fuppes. MediaTomb was the only one I could even remotely get working. in reply to tcmg #
  • @mdenis The office has stayed cool this weekend, despite the lack of air con, so that's a plus. in reply to mdenis #
  • This is excruciating: my train is not moving and the air con is pathetic. Good start to the week. #
  • @annatheannoying Better than being "gay hostile" I guess. in reply to annatheannoying #
  • Argh! This tram has no air con! #gripe #
  • Opera Mobile 10 beta still has a broken input system on S60. Can't enter newlines into a text field! Non-standard shift behaviour! FAIL #
  • I should mention that the rest of the browser is pretty cool. Looking forward to Opera Link functionality. #
  • Train air con WIN! #
  • MediaTomb is working like a charm. Too bad transcoding with subtitles is amazingly hard. Further work needed for my perfect media server! #
  • Submitted my application for an RACV Club membership. Soon I won't have to pay $20 each time I want to use the gym! #
  • Dinner from Grill'd tonight. Enjoyed the walk in the cooler weather. Seems a lot of other people had the same idea. #
  • RT @JewelStaite: Just found out Dollhouse was canceled. "SUMMERRRRRR!!!" #
  • Flying on Friday the 13th … from gate 13 … what could go wrong? #
  • Trying out the Selenium testing framework. #
  • @NathanFillion Maybe not – in a couple years there might be a movie! *crosses fingers* in reply to NathanFillion #
  • Woot! Google Wave invite! :) #
  • @chadnickbok Thank you for more useless yet cool trivia. @feliciaday just keeps getting more awesome really. in reply to chadnickbok #
  • Cinema stuffed up and played the wrong movie. Now I'll never get to see Astro Boy! At least I have two free passes now. #
  • How long has carsales.com.au had a mobile site? It's pretty nifty – even has layered navigation support. #
  • Mum asked today if she could get an iPhone. Apple claims another ignorant victim. #
  • Damn you people playing music at this time of night. Especially when they're songs that are going to get stuck in my head. #
  • Hearing "Blue" by Eiffel 65 just reminds me of high school. #
  • Ah, the party is over. Time for some sleep. #
  • The great Fontis office move of 2009 is underway. #
  • Most of the equipment has been moved, awaiting setup. Might have this done before the end of the day! #
  • Move is complete. Fontis is now at Suite 2, Level 9, 167-169 Queen St. Easiest move ever! #
  • @chadnickbok New place is awesome. You'll have to come up and see it. in reply to chadnickbok #
  • Tram is nicely air conditioned. Much better than the heating they decided to use this morning. #
  • Karaoke works better with alcohol. Which I am lacking. #
  • @dhewlett Each beer is GMed & creates various crazy effects in the drinker; time travel, gender swap, etc. It could be comedy or horror! in reply to dhewlett #
  • Hour 3 of the most epic apartment cleaning ever. Amazing how much easier the new bookcase is making things. Time for a break! #
  • Finished with cleanup for now. Still not done, but I'm satisfied that "phase 1" is complete. #
  • Actually hit the gym today. Feeling good, just need to keep it up. #
  • Finally got my PS3 to connect to a UPnP server running on my laptop. Seems either the PS3 or router only likes UPnP over LAN, not WLAN. #
  • Using MediaTomb for media serving. Not to get it finding the media to serve… #
  • @lloydhazlett I'm waiting for Chrome Mobile. Might need an Android phone for that though. :( in reply to lloydhazlett #
  • @m_p_p Agreed. I don't care if the architecture is better – the GUI sucks. in reply to m_p_p #
  • Delays to flights to and from Canberra due to the weather. Current departure estimated at 40 mins late. #
  • Oh bed, how I've missed you. It's a shame we will be parted again so soon. #
  • RT @spolsky: New article: Capstone projects and time management http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2009/10/26.html #
  • Sleep eludes me. Damn insomnia. #gripe #
