According to news articles I’ve seen cropping up this week, it looks like EFTPOS has implemented a new fee schedule. According to their press releases, these were actually first mentioned back in March and clarified in early September, so I’m not sure why there wasn’t more mention of it back then. Maybe I just didn’t [...]
My girlfriend showed me this video the other day that they watched part of in one of her law lectures. This guy talks so fast, but the message is certainly pretty interesting, well worth the watch if you have some free time. It’s USA focused, but it’s just as relevant here in Australia in regards [...]
I’ve been teaching myself Magento themes as I’m planning on setting up my new websites, MJB PhotoArt and U-Scrap using Magento as the e-commerce CMS. So far, I’ve got the following handy links in no particular order. These are pretty much all that I’ve read so far and have helped me get my head around [...]

It took a lot longer than I had been hoping to get suppliers on board, but in February this year, the website has finally gone live! You can now buy skateboards [...]
I’ve been looking through the Australian government’s new My School website, which shows the graded performance of schools around the country, both public and private in the areas of reading, writing, spelling, grammar/punctuation and numeracy. After looking at all the schools I attended, and those that my sister attended that I didn’t, there seems to [...]
I noticed an article on IT News Australia this morning about talk of the “Australia Card” identification card/system coming up again. This got me to thinking a bit today, and also trends I’ve noticed previously and things that people have pointed out to me and that sort of thing. Who really is watching? Think about [...]
Anthony Eaton’s “Nightpeople” is an interesting deviation to the usual post-apocalyptic fantasy novels, largely in that it has very clear Australian influences, especially indiginous Australian influences, in a way that is easy to read and easy to understand for most age levels. The story is a little bit slow to get underway, and some people [...]
It’s great to see a boss pointing these things out to the employees. Sure, a cash handout is great, but ongoing work is much better. Have a read of the letter that this employer sent to his employees here. As a small business owner, I agree with this email entirely, even though I only employ [...]
