Tuesday, January 30th, 2007First day of school today for Liam and myself.
Liam discovered what Year 10 is about, and I started on the Microsoft voyage. Windows Vista, Office 2007. Too much software to fit into one morning. Too much for the old projector too (it was upset at the kerfuffle of hot software). Wow, what a Vista:
I relax [...]
Let the New Journey Begin
Monday, January 29th, 2007So, I reached 7 months before my feet started itching. Or was it that my brain was itching? Either way, I started looking seriously at contributing to the corporate world again.
After resigning from my previous job, it was clear that I was not going to do the exact same role. There were a couple of [...]
Moore’s Law, More Horses, Less Chaff
Saturday, January 27th, 2007A major change in the fabrication process, changing a 40+ year old process to make transitors that are 45 nano-meters large/small. At this level, atoms become significant.
Scoble has released a new video detailing the new 45nm process at Intel. What does this mean? Two things: Moore's Law still applies, and there are going to be [...]

Time on Earth
Thursday, January 25th, 2007Time on Earth is the name of the fifth studio album from a reformed Crowded House.
Time for musicians, and capturing a zeitgeist is something that is embodied in their work. The songs represent at time in their personal lives, and the journeys they have been on.
Yes, I will buy the album and listen.

We’ll all be rooned
Sunday, January 21st, 2007My favourite Australian poem, "Said Hanrahan", by John O'Brian (aka Patrick Hartigan)
"...We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out."
This whole poem seems to epitomise the current weather conditions, farmers and a fleeting glimpse of an old Australia, slowly disappearing.

Crowded House Reforming for a World-wide Tour
Sunday, January 21st, 2007Not quite sure how I feel about this: Door opens for Crowded House.
Would I go to a concert? Yes. Would I buy any new material recorded and released? Yes. Would I think that this is the old Crowdies? Probably not. You could probably call me a Crowded House fundamentalist, in a way. Anyway, it's early [...]
Hodge and Wandel Clan Contributes to World Knowledge
Thursday, January 18th, 2007The Hodge and Wandel Clan Contributes to World Knowledge ... thereby going a small way in balancing the force of knowledge use.
Liam and Avril, and some of the wider relatives in the SA clan took this photo of C/2006 P1 (alias "Comet McNaught(y)") whilst on holiday in South Australia.
In a not-so-typical hardware/farmer mashup: the old [...]
Smartest Accountants in the Room
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007Mac Geeks vs. Apple Accountants. Fight!
According to The Inquirer, Apple is "blaming" an Enron-inspired US Federal Law Sarbannes-Oxley (SOX) for the need to charge US$2.00 for the 802.11n update to MacOS X 10.4. Following the link at the bottom of the page, there is a slightly longer article on iLounge.
SOX? Probably more important than the [...]
