The Magic Fix
A few weeks ago I was discussing with Matty Cosier a new job I was starting that was going to involve doing some Biztalk 2006 work. He said that if I had any troubles with it then I could give him a call since he's used it before. Yesterday I had a trouble. Read More...
Hey there MattyT!
I just had lunch with MattyT . Matty was probably one of the first ever subscribers to my blog - first to admit it anyway :) For a C++ person, he's a pretty nice guy. He certainly dresses a lot neater than a lot of C++ guys I could name. He obviously Read More...
Things To Do In Melbourne
I'm stuck in this crowded, too-hot-or-too-cold city for the next 6-8 weeks. I'm going home for the weekend, but Monday - Thursday nights are available. While I certainly don't want to live here permanently, I do want to take the chance to catchup with Read More...

That's probably not really a word, but it should be. Today I'm at induction - basically it's a chance to finish off doing all the little crappy things that you don't want to do, like write a bio and work out what phone to get, and learn about how the Read More...
I Need New Sunglasses
I'm spending the day sitting on the back verandah again while I'm working. I have to say - this is really a nice way to spend the day. It's warm (but not hey yet, although once the afternoon kicks in and the sun moves aroudn to shine on me it might be Read More...
Toy Week
Week 2 at Readifiy is going well so far. I actually checked some code into the company TFS repository yesterday and today, which is quite neat - so far I haven't heard too many complaints :) But more importantly this week is toy week. Yesterday my Read More...
Airport Blogging
Well this is a new experience for me. I'm sitting in Sydney Airport waiting for my flight home from TechEd. I've been here about three and a half hours already, and there's still almost an hour until takeoff. Luckily, Mitch has been stuck on the same Read More...
