Just some more notes on my previous blog posts about the Bank of Queensland and the Greater Building Society here and here.
I still haven’t actually had any indication from the Bank of Queensland that anyone there has noticed anything I’ve said online. I still don’t expect to either.
Since my last blog, I have received mail [...]

The Skate-Parts.Com Home Page

As some of you may know, back in January/February last year, I began working towards starting up a new business. 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 online at [...]

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 be [...]

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?

The story is a little bit slow to get underway, and some people might [...]

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 one person [...]

Come along to the #nocleanfeed rallies and protests Australia wide on Saturday the 13th of December.

For more info, have a look here and here.
While you’re at it, if you haven’t already signed the petition, head on over to GetUp’s Save The Net Petition.

Australia, probably the biggest Aussie film produced to date, advertised as an epic, reviewed as a bomb.
I wasn’t sure what to expect before I saw it, the trailers looked great, the marketing was great, but almost all the reviews I saw indicated that it was a bit of a flop. On IMDB, at the time [...]

For anyone that doesn’t know what Pathfinders actually is, it is similar to the Scouts teen and youth programs. There is a lot of information available at Pathfinders Online. Basically though, if you come across someone who is a Pathfinder, they are part of a worldwide organisation of people that are sponsored by the Seventh-Day [...]

Australian from yesterday covering the pitfalls and problems with ISP level filtering and various forms of filtering. It is probably the most accurate and reasonably presented article I’ve seen from a newspaper yet, even though the quotes are predominately from IIA spokesman Peter Coroneo’s rather than someone from the current government.
“…he warned it could never [...]
