    Holy crap… iiNet WON THEIR CASE? http://bit.ly/cZ7V6L That’s awesome!

    Thanks to everyone’s opinions… We went with the Lovebird Suite. Bring on the big spa bath!

    Next question: What’s the verdict on Jambaroo? Worth going? Will I really get to control the action?

    RT @likeomg: from here on out, anyone who creates a word with the prefix “tw-” in the hopes of being seen as cutting edge gets a courtes …

    @chrisgander This Seppo is a full convert. Pineapple all the way.

    @Jimbo_W I really want to do the Striders series, but I’m not at a 60min 10K just yet. 🙁 #running

    My clients are all internal. Hm -> RT @gilmae: I think we should kill our client and steal all their money. It will be win win for everyone.

    Realisation: The “Out of Scope” section is my favourite part of writing a spec, by far.

    I’m entering @Crust_Pizza #CrustFreePizzaFriday because evidently I’m a glutton for disappointment.

  • RunningBlog: Week 5

    A hot and muggy week. I missed going to Spudds three times this week, which really sucked. (Monday I was sick; Wednesday I had meetings all day.) I think the week off from weight training helped me though. My run this morning felt great, and I was able to keep a consistent pace and heart rate without too much effort. The weekly totals…

    Jan 29: 5.17km
    Jan 31: 7.8km
    Feb 2: 5.47km
    Feb 4: 5.53km
    Total this week: 23.97km (15mi) – pretty much same as last week!
    Total in 2010: 116.4km (72.75mi)

    I’m 20km ahead of schedule for my 1000km Challenge…

  • iiNet won their case!

    In a landmark decision – and a stunning victory for common sense everywhere – iiNet has won their court case! Basically, a bunch of the big Hollywood studios sued this Australian ISP for allowing people to download copyrighted movies on BitTorrent. iiNet argued that they’re a service provider like the electricity company, and they have no duty to police the actions of their users. The case is a precedent-setter and has been followed extensively on tech blogs and news sites for the past few months. AND IINET WON! Excellent news.

  • Happiness Project

    How are you guys doing on your Happiness Project? We’re finished with January’s theme of “Energy” and I’d grade myself about 70% on that one. We’re in bed by 10pm on most nights, and I’m getting plenty of exercise. I crossed a few nagging tasks off my To Do list. I still have some much needed organisational chores to do though that I keep avoiding. (I really need to wash all my jumpers and put my winter clothes away. Of course, by the time I manage to do it it’ll be winter again.)

    The theme for February is “Love.” I like the idea of giving proofs of love. I’m workin’ on it.

    Note to self: Make stuffed eggplants. Those look YUM.

    The truth is that I’m still ambivalent about the iPad. But raving frothing haters are turning me into an iPad-supporter, just out of spite.

    Apple just sent me a survey about my recent repair. The punchline is, NextByte haven’t even called me about it yet. It’s not done, AFAIK.

    @stufromoz The repair. Asks me about the technical ability of person who did the repair, etc. Needless to say, I can’t answer! 🙂

    Bit of a surprise to see @acatinatree’s lovely visage pop up in my Google Reader! Congrats to @Readingroom_Au…

    @acatinatree The Mumbrella story with your piccy! Well done. I was getting worried you were going to be deported… 🙂

    Wow. GGR Episode 2 has had over 100 downloads in the first day. It took Episode 1 four days to reach that! http://bit.ly/beAHBt

    @Bevfam Puh-leeze… I don’t need an even bigger head about this than I already have! 😛

    Tegan and Sara coming to Oz: http://bit.ly/bg7mCN. Anybody want to go to the Sydney show in May with me?

    @kaztx I don’t have a problem with forefoot running – and I’m slow! But I started out alternating run/walks for several weeks to build up.

    Planning a weekend getaway to Kiama. Is it worth $100 extra to get the “Lovebird Suite” with the big corner spa?

  • Pigeon Pose

    “Why do I get emotional during one particular yoga pose?” That’s fascinating. I haven’t experienced that in particular – I don’t do much yoga – but I’ve had something similar running. On a handful of occasions at the end of a race or a particulary draining workout, I’ve just found myself on the verge of tears. Being wrung out makes me cry, I guess.
