change, not for the sake of change.
Well, it’s become clear that my current IT setup away from the office is no longer fulfilling the requirements. At present I have a SBS2008 which handles my mail (although not receiving with an MX record), some file storage, torrents and remote access. My Windows mobile device syncs to Exchange over the air. I also…

Yaari SPAM
I’ve recently been receiving a fair few emails from Yaari.com along the lines of: [unamed person] wants you to join Yaari! Is [unamed] your friend? Yes, [unamed] is my friend! <link> No, [unamed] isn’t my friend. <link> Please respond or [unamed] may think you said no 🙁 Thanks, The Yaari Team A quick Google search…

Safely on the ground
A while ago, I looked up at the ceiling at work and found myself looking at a Canon webcam. Finally, that camera is now sitting on my desk waiting for its power pack and then a new use. I’ll have to get into the roof cavity to track or even just pull back the cables…

The annual bike ride
Well about 5 or so years ago I started doing full day rides with a friend, aiming to cover most of the bike paths in Melbourne. As time went on, I became busier on weekends due to theatre commitments. The rides became monthly events and then finally it seems an annual event. As I now…

A new alarm clock.
There’s a new member of the household who arrive 1st January. A kitten called Dexter. He’s unexpectedly turning out to be a great alarm clock. There’s nothing like a wet cat nose being rubbed all over your face and loud ‘purring’ to get you out of bed in the morning.

2009, year of the blog….. maybe.
It’s not a New Years resolution, but I had a random thought that maybe I might actually do some blogging this year. I’ve started looking for some mobile blogging tools for either my Blackberry Bold or I-mate 9502 Windows Mobile device. I’ll also get around to doing my own comparison between those devices too.

Ohayou gozaimasu from Tokyo
The Ballet’s international tour this year is to the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan theatre, Japan. I arrived with the advanced party (mechs / stage management / Operations Manager) a few days ago and had the first day in the theatre today. What do I do on tour? Glade you asked. It’s my job to ensure all…

I’m Shout!ing.
Well, I’m on the eve of one of my bigger lighting designs. It’s for CLOC music theatre’s production of Shout!. I’ve remembered why I hat big designs for organised companies. It means I have to be organised. I’m just too good at procrastinating…. On the otherhand, it’s not that hard. I’m using WYSIWYG for all…

Every day is a new experience at the Ballet….
Yes, you can quote me on that. I don’t know if other organisations suffer from the same thing, but in the past 2 weeks i’ve discovered a number of paid services which have not been used in 4 years. This just comes down to lack of documentation about those services so when departments changed hands,…

Time to make an office a usable space
Thursday looms as the big I.T. cleanup. Over the past 3 weeks i’ve cleaned up and given away about 35 retired desktop and laptop computers from the Ballet which has certainly created some breathing space in my office. This time we’ll attack the server room and the rest of the office and actually finish the…
