drive
The invite had disappeared in the massive pile of paperwork that occupies a significant portion of my desk. Regardless, I was aware that Tye was turning 27 and that there was a party to be held in celebration of that event somewhere in Sydney. Robbie, running on a program of his own, had already booked [...]
Raviloi!
His is partially a test from my iPhone, partially a post to let you known can make my own ravioli!
Tridge talks
Ever wondered why a top software developer would spend his time helping out non-profit organisations? Is it possible to be involved in a court case with Microsoft for 10 years and come away happy? Did CASE really teach a Masters level course in Free and Open Source software development at the Australian National University? Hear [...]
short circuit
I don’t know about you but I think I can feel a re-design coming on..
Joomla tutorial videos
I keep forgetting to mention that I’m slowly producing a series of simple video tutorials for Joomla 1.5. They’re for CASE (since we’re all about Joomla these days) and all available on the CASE Youtube channel.

New home for the network!
Over the past few weeks Elroy and I have been migrating our collection of sites to a new host (yet again, I labeled myself a digital bedouin last time – it still stands) and I’m happy to report that It’s now complete. The process was much much easier this time, our new host having a [...]
CASE Podcast 2 – Content Managment Systems
There’s a golden rule when it comes to content. If you’re doing a series, have a few episodes complete before going to air so that you have a buffer. That was the plan and of course we haven’t followed it. So I’m pleased to replease Computing Assistance Support & Education Podcast Episode 2! In this [...]
CSU gets a website
Day of Defeat: Source has been one of the games i’ve played the longest and with most consistency. A small group of local friends have been playing under the tag “[CSU]” for, i guess, years now. Only recently have we come together to try and bring about a cohesive gaming clan. That involves a website [...]

In episode I Darrell Burkey, president of CASE, talks about the history of the organisation. We look at the ideas behind providing shared IT services [...]
Halloween in Pakistan
It’s amazing what gets you hits these days. Take Better Homes and Garden’s (US) tutorial on how to make a Halloween wreath. It’s a full page article that can be summed up in a single sentence. To make a pumpkin wreath, glue pumpkins to a wreath! Good advice. But not enough for poor She256: “I [...]
back on the air
It’s kind of embarrasing really but some of you may have noticed BuzzMoo.com disappear last night, replaced with a parking page full of ads! Well, I forgot to renew the domain. Not forgot exactly, I just thought it was set to automatically renew. Nope! Thanks to Pia‘s heads up just as I was going to [...]
Tweeting the terror: How social media reacted to Mumbai – CNN.com
CNN reports on how social media is playing a role in developing events, like the terrible situation in India. Haven’t heard from James yet, but he’s (in theory) on the other side of the country… The minute news broke of the terrorist attacks on Mumbai, India, social media sites like Twitter were inundated with a [...]
no more need for no clean feed
The “No Clean Feed” movement here an attempt to raise awareness about the Australian Government’s plan to institute ISP and national level IP data filtering. I didn’t rush out and sign a petition, nor join the Facebook group because I figured the whole deal was going to be a non-starter. Not that I think you [...]
here comes eGames – 14th-16th November – Melbourne
The eGames Expo will be in its third year when it kicks off this friday at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Despite being fairly close to the whole process, this year will be the first year I’ve been able to attend (and even then, it was touch and go!). eGames is packing some interesting things this [...]
