PERSONAL: Back in Sydney

January 7, 2007General Tech

As I write this on the plane flight home I am a mix of emotions…
On one hand I am really glad to be home. It is difficult living in someone else’s place for 6 weeks (and trying to work remotely at the same time), especially when you need to get everywhere by car (and I [...]

PERSONAL: A White New Year

January 1, 2007General Tech

Happy New Year everyone!
Finally we get to see some great snow. We were hoping for a white Christmas last week (and missed out) but this morning all we can see is white (pictures here). It all started last night when we were out shopping (at yet another mall…) and it started piling down.
This morning we [...]
