Best Business Cards Ever

Check out Steve Martin’s business card:

This guy’s pretty convinced about his own business card too – it took him 25 years to design it! Love the quote: “I build crowds – guaranteed! What do you do guaranteed?” Hahaha.
Edit: Oh I want to choose more quotes but there’s too many! “It doesn’t [...]

External USB Hard Disk Performance

I’ve got a 320GB 7200RPM drive in an external USB housing that I use for extra storage and backup with my 15″ Macbook Pro. I also use Parallels a fair bit because I do ASP and ASP.NET web development, so I was wondering if it’d be faster to run the Parallels VM off the external [...]

The Last Web Appplication You Will Ever Need?

OK I admit that the title of this post is slightly hyperbolic, but I’ve just installed and started using PmWiki to replace my well-worn, dog-eared copy of ASPWiki that I have loved so well since about 2003, I think. And, I’ve gotta say that I love it! Out of the box it’s simple [...]

What’s The Worst That Could Happen?

The 2007 esCarpade started in Canberra and Dad drove [...]

Hey That’s Todally Swede

I came across this Swedish guy’s blog. I’m mentioning this for three reasons:

I love the site’s layout; and he links to a few cool things:
Roundabout Dogs
Stupid Cats (mainly for Bowman but if you like it then good for you. I love the condescending note the phrase “good for you” has)
He had this quote: “Norway [...]

Fixing a Blurry Philips 107P Monitor

My shiny, expensive (for a 17″) TFT is being a moron and going bright for about a second before turning off its backlight so I can’t see a thing. I think it’s under warranty…I hope it’s under warranty.
Anyway you don’t care about that, you care about finding out what to do when your Philips [...]

Oh my Lord — Awesome Microsoft Paint Artwork

Check out this video of a dude drawing a car in MS Paint. His skill and attention to detail are insane!

I think he’d even put Maddox to shame, and Maddox knows how to handle MS Paint.

Work Christmas Party Photos

Our IT Department’s Christmas Party was at Friday’s nightclub in
Brisbane. It’s all fun and games until somebody loses their
wallet/phone/dignity.
