Advanced WCF Training Coming To A Town Near You!
Well, so long as you live in or near Sydney or Melbourne. This is really exciting - I certainly want to go, and if you're interested in WCF, then you should too :) Readify has managed to bring Juval Lowy, a .Net 3.0 specialist and a Microsoft Regional Read More...
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...
Getting Mo'ey
I thought I'd post a shot of how my Mo is going one week in (the photo was taken one week in, even if this post is a little late). Yes, I know it looks like the goatee is coming back, but it's just shadow - the sides of the mo go straight down, and that's Read More...
Dear Lord, What Have I Done To My Face?
From about the age I was 17, I decided that I didn't like how I looked clean-shaven. So I grew a goatee. I much preferred it over smooth skin. It had to shaved off when I was at school - I want to private school where one of the rules was that the guys 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...
Leaving on a Jet Plane...Eventually
When I found out last week that I'd be working in Melbourne for 6 to 8 weeks, the first thing I did was work out my flights. For the first 2 weeks, I'm flying out of Canberra on Sunday evening, returning on Friday evening. Simple enough - yes? Not when Read More...
No Surprise - My Thumbs Hurt
Well, I knew it would happen. Last night I fired up Kingdom Hearts 2 somewhere between 8 and 8.30. I turned it off so that I could go to bed at 1 o'clock this morning. My thumbs hurt, my neck hurts, and I'm tired. Man, is it worth it though. This game Read More...
Do The Bus Stop
I think I can really get to like this virtual office lifestyle. This morning I'm sitting at a bus stop waiting for my bus to arrive. I was going to be spending my day at home finishing off a prototype to prove that you can execute windows powershell scripts Read More...
More Notes On Inductionationment
One thing I forgot to mention before . I'm a Canberran. For those that don't know, Canberra might be the capital of Australia, but it's quite a small city. There's not many people compared to Sydney and Melbourne, and it's a very spread out place with Read More...
Inductionated.
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...
Off To Melbourne
I'm about to head off to the airport to take a flight to Melbourne. The afternoon will be spent sitting in Dad's office with my laptop, happily coding away until it's time to follow him home after work. The only pain is going to be the lack of internet 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...
I Could Get To Like This
Adjusting to working from home is a strange experience. In the last couple of weeks I've been getting used to it, although it still freaks me out that when I finish for the day I only have to walk to the next room to sit down on the couch and watch Read More...
Assimilation: Complete
The assimilation was completed today . First I got my shirts with the Readify logo badged on them. Then I got my laptop, with Readify logo splashed across it. Eariler today my mobile was ported to the Readify company plan. And now what appeared in the Read More...
