I think we need to get air conditioning installed, or sleep in the car.

Horrid weather…

without comments

Earlier today it was very hot and humid. This evening we’ve had a big storm and lot’s of rain. The storm was predictable, Sydney does that after a very humid day this time of year.

Firefox web browser

without comments

I’ve switched to FireFox the open source web browser because it appears to handle some of the sites I use rather well and it’s got some cool features. If you are having issues with sites using newer rendering technologies I suggest you Get Firefox!.

Lazy Saturday

I’ve decided to have a lazy Saturday at home. Just took this pic, cat in a Mac. The cat’s sitting on the floor boards and both are reflected in the Mac’s chrome CD doors.

Just got back from Singapore

I’ve been in Singapore most of the week, practicing my selling skills at a resellers product showcase. After three days telling the story to groups of six people every 15 minutes I now have the perfect bus stop and elevator pitch for MessageLabs.
