Yet another facelift – stage 1
It’s redesign season! Here’s what seems to happen once every 6 months or so whenever I go for a facelift on this blog: -I piss around for hours playing with bits and bobs -Whack a load of time into it without ‘taking it for a test drive’ -Eventually get so tired with messing around that …
Intellectual overload… ODLAA 2005 So far
Gordon Bennett! Quite a morning, down here in Adelaide, just a *little* bit of stimulation! First up Denise Bradley is exactly the kind of VC that I want, then Terry Anderson… well, he’s Terry Anderson, what more can I say (and he’s using Elgg… talk about a positive convergence of minds!!!) Follow that with Paul …
ODLAA Presentation
For my own record and just in case anyone’s interested here’s the powerpoint (don’t have a heck of a lot of time free!) for my ODLAA gig talking about those cases I mentioned.

Had a cracking time on Tuesday talking with ‘im and Cam which then extended to an excellent dinner also organised by Cam in St Kilda where met some very interesting people, especially Phil …
Out of the box
Basically I work day to day in a large concrete box. On a corridor with a view of some leaves obscuring a 6 lane road, in the suburbs… it’s thrilling. But something really cool is happening down under the box in the carpark (another benefit of smoking is that you get to notice these things). …
Looking for mediawiki / php / MySQL hackers
This would be a job posting if we had any money… but we don’t, so it’s a partnership proposal instead. Basically I’m running a couple of projects that involve mediawiki, and me & the other partner in this need an enthusiastic mediawiki hacker (or someone with good php / MySQL expertise) with a bit of …
