Mentalechoes

These days I’m becoming increasingly more frustrated with email as a communication tool. My inbox and related subfolders are absolutely FULL of stuff that isn’t spam, but which I’m starting to consider spam. Things like emails from social networks that you might have signed up for long ago but don’t use anymore, and no matter [...]

I’m a pretty online kinda guy. I wouldn’t go so far as to give myself a geek label because that doesn’t do anything to improve my image with women, but if I lived on a planet with no women I would probably be called a geek. The funny thing about being a geek is that [...]

So it seems that the stupidest idea of the century in Australian political circles has in fact gotten a lot of my fellow citizens a tad hot under the collar. By stupidest idea, I am in fact talking about the Australian Governments plan to introduce mandatory filtering of the internet at the ISP level to [...]

Before I start this rant, I want you to know that I am an Australian and I love my country. Which is why I get so incensed when I see “The Government” doing stuff in my name as an – expat – citizen that is, firstly just plain fucking stupid, and secondly going further down [...]

Following on with yesterdays rant about Jericho being taken off the air because a few CBS execs high up in a high-rise office decided it was a failure.

Hellloooooo everyone,

Just letting you know that I’ve deactivated my Facebook account.

It has simply [...]

Well, my internet has been cutoff because I am 3 months overdue on my account. You would think after being a loyal customer for 4 years that my ISP would cut me some slack over a couple of missed payments… but no. I got chopped last night at midnight. I was out at the time [...]

Ever since I got a free account of one of my companies products which lets me see – among other things – how many people visit my site, I’ve had the nagging feeling that it is time to hang up my old domain, and start again. The reason I feel this is because my current [...]

Well strangely enough, I’ve had this blogger account for like, two years or something. It’s one of those events lost in memory that was so significant at the time of creation I thought it would lead on to greater things. Alas it did not… until now.
After making my first blog yesterday at work, I figured, [...]
