2009 I believe in three douchebagsEvery time our dear Senator Conroy makes an announcement it is met with much ridicule. It almost seems that he goes out of his way to seem as incompetent as possible. The whole internet filtering fiasco has been becoming more and more farcical over the past year. I wouldn’t have thought it could get more [...]

2009 Shouldn’t RAII should be RDID???I will openly plead ignorance for design patterns. I know this is really not the way to be and Design Patterns and Code Complete are on my “to read” list. It’s only that I trawl through StackOverflow a bit lately that I get to hear a lot of buzz about patterns and idioms. Some people [...]

2009 Dear AGL…This is an open letter to AGL marketing department. I post it on my blog because the online enquiry form does not take text over 1000 characters and my rant was well over 2000 characters.

Still, I sometimes find it amusing when people slap stickers that came with their Apple product on things that are not remotely Apple or [...]

2009 I download and I vote (oh, and #iitrial is cool)Yes, I “illegally” download copyrighted content. There are many reasons why I do that and for some time I felt a tiny bit guilty about it. I don’t any more. I am not THAT person to say that I buy more DVDs than ever before or that I ALWAYS buy the TV show DVD when [...]

2009 No diggInspired by Kevin Rose talking about digg_2000 on TWiT(http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/TWiT_214) I decided to follow …it (i think it’s it). I clearly remembered the username being digg_2000, so I decided to use Find People feature to do so: Hmm… OK, must have gotten the underscore wrong, so I searched for “digg 2000″: Gotta say that’s pretty spooky [...]

2009 The definitive step by step guide on how to delete a directory permanently from git on Widnows for dumbasses like myselfI admit, git hurts my head. I also admit that I only understand about 10% of git documentation. This is probably about industry average. Removing big files out of git index is just about one of the painful things a normal person will ever have to do. At some point Mr Craig of kodespace indicated [...]
