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 [...]

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.

Halloween in Pakistan
