QC 06 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Well, I'm going to post my very much belated report from Queer Collaborations 2006 in Sydney. Frankly, it was a bit of a horror. By day two I had become convinced that the conference had run awry and that it wasn't worth attending any more of it. This will quite probably be the final chapter in my involvement in QC ( Read more... ) -
Private Postcards
Just a note to everyone out there who might not know already. If you send information over the Internet you are writing it on postcards and hoping that no one reads them ( Read more... ) -
Cash
Following extensive negotiations with our union we now get the Foundation Day public holiday off. Well sort of. The academics don't because their union isn't as good as ours. So we need to have a skeleton staff here to cover their needs for that day ( Read more... ) -
Endings
So I watched the final episode of season 2 of Lost. And may I say, OMGWTFBBQ? Lost would have to be one of the most clever shows on TV at the moment. Everything is gradually revealed to you in such a way that for every answer you get five more questions. Numerous crazy puzzles lead to other crazy puzzles and provide careful clues to other puzzles.

Shameful Quote of the Day
A work colleague stood looking out the window, then, as a girl carrying two coffees walks past he comments:
"Check out the mochas on that one." -
Debating...
I'm debating if I should attend all of Queer Collaborations this year. See, I may suddenly have a better offer. QC runs from the 3rd to the 7th of July, however an Apple University Consortium conference is also running in Sydney from the 5th to the 7th of July. So I could possibly attend some of QC, then skip out and attend the AUC conference as ( Read more... ) -
Waste of Time
So my long weekend wasn't as good as I would have liked. Basically, I felt exhausted on Friday and then Saturday morning I woke up feeling sick. I'm still a bit sick now. So I spent the whole weekend with a cold. I had various ups and downs through the weekend, but all up I'm a bit disappointed. Was looking forward to having that time off work. -
No I Will Fucking Not! or Why I've Stopped Going to Connies
The number of questions I keep getting about why I'm not going to Connies lately has increased. In fact the last time I was at Connies was January 28th, more than ten weeks ago. Because I am bored and because it is easy this way, here are some of the reason I've suddenly stopped going to Connies almost every week.- It's a shit hole dump. Yes indeed ( Read more... )

My goodness it just got cold in here!
In something of a startling move Apple has released a beta of a new product called Boot Camp. What does Boot Camp do? Why it allows you to install and run Microsoft Windows XP on your new Mac computer. Truely we live in strange times.
When Apple announced that it was moving to Intel many people figured that installing XP would become an option, ( Read more... ) -
Jitters
I've decided to wean myself off coffee. For quite a while it's been my routine to have a coffee in the morning, but I did the numbers and figured out that at $2.90 for a Guild coffee each weekday I'm spending something like $750 a year on coffee alone! Quite the waste of money. That and it's not generally good to be using caffeine all the time. ( Read more... )
