Just got back to Sydney from a fantastic (but hectic) weekend in the UK at Kris & Hayley’s wedding. Yes, you read it right, a weekend in the UK. I left thursday morning, and arrived early on Friday, spent the arvo with Andy H chilling in St Albans before Dave, Christy and I drove up [...]

Been using Git for a while now and getting to like it. Found out some more info about some of the commands. The commands I gave previously for adding p4merge as the merge tool didn’t do quite what I was expecting, and didn’t actually work :) After expecting git to use this merge tool whenever [...]

Just spent the morning rock fishing at Whale Beach, and this time we actually caught something! It’s a beautiful day, blue skies, blue seas, and almost no-one there so we got to pick our spot.

Well, we decided to head out for beers and pool last night, so after some dinner at James Squires I introduced Dave to the delights of the Shark Hotel. It has supposedly been refurbished, but looked pretty much the same to me, although they have taken up some of the space for more chairs and [...]

However it [...]

Lets see what this live writer is all about

One thing is for sure, I won’t be buying anything from Dell again. Almost a year ago I ordered one of their XPS gaming laptops, and after the poor sales service I got from Rock before I left the UK, this order went like clockwork, and the laptop arrived within a few days of ordering. [...]

Yeah, I haven’t posted for quite a while, I’ve been busy doing… well, stuff that isn’t that interesting I guess :) Mostly been hanging around for the last couple of months making sure I was available for recruitment agencies just in case they had any interviews for me, as I started looking for work at [...]
