Google as both Friend, and Foe

1 March 2007

Article in today’s SMH entitled “Your Life in the Public Domain”, caught my eye.
A fairly accurate account of how anyone, anywhere, will have some record of their life preserved online, often for eternity.
According to the US National Association of Colleges and Employers Job Outlook 2007 survey, more than one in 10 employers review […]

Snooty Dogs

28 February 2007

I’m stuck up on the North Shore at the moment, babysitting Mother’s spoodle , Cindy, and waiting for Foxtel to come and deliver her new IQ box.
Naturally, this young puppy is exceptionally spoiled, with every latest designer dog accessory and squeaky toy. Would you expect anything else up here in the lovely province of […]

Dat New Fangled RSS Thang

27 February 2007

You know… despite my apparent Tech-savvy appearence, I can sometimes be a little slow to catch onto modern trends. Sure, I was quick to jump on the Blogging bandwagon over 4 years ago just before it began to develop into a social status symbol, but things like podcasts and vodcasts still elude me. And would […]

Back to Blogging!

25 February 2007

VolaciousNet is back!

Yes… I’ve decided I’m going to become a web writer again… actually organise the content that I have and hopefully add something new that’s worth reading in the meantime.
I’ve spent some time actually synchronising all of my LiveJournal content into the site, including all comments, organised by thread. With almost 4 years of […]

VNet Relaunch

22 February 2007

Work is still continuing on synchronising VolaciousNet with LiveJournal. It’s trickier than it sounds… The attempt it to write a php script to download both posts and comments, and insert them properly into WordPress.
There is a method, using LJArchive and WP Import, but it doesn’t thread the comments, and the XML is known to stuff […]

Text for once…

25 May 2006

Finally.. I am going to take the time to write.
I’ve been doing voice posts lately because, frankly, it’s a hell of a lot easier. Plus, I get 20 mins / month of international phone calls on my mobile plan, and I don’t know where else to use them!
Anyway, as my last few posts are indicating, […]

Finally!

11 May 2006

Hiiiiiiiiii everyone!
Wow. It has been soooooooooooooooooo-ooo-oooooo long since I’ve updated this blog.
Of course, the trick about good blogging is to update regularly so that people will read regularly and hence give a shit about what I’m writing. I spent 12 hours in front of the computer each shift at work, yet somehow I never get […]

Insanity Personified

6 March 2006

Hello everybody!
It’s been a fair time since I updated… and this time there’s so much to say, that I don’t know if I can type it all! So I didn’t… here is a voice post (can’t seem to get LJ’s voice posting to work unfortunately! Not unless I call international anyway…)

Listen to Audio Post

So have […]

Stonewall Revisited

8 January 2006

Hello everyone.
What an interesting night… after spending today at the races, I found myself wound up at Stonewall for the birthday of , who I actually never ended up seeing because he went home early. I had with me and his lovely boy Wayne, who were down from Brisvegas and needed be shown […]

Recaffeinated

28 December 2005

Well it’s turned into a two-coffee night.
I’m currently on a week of night shifts (1900 - 0700)… the first night was ok but I’m struggling a little tonight.
Considering that it’s been a fairly quiet week at work, I was going to try and think up new ideas for a redesign of my site, but for […]
