"It was a 2 hour journey home punctuated by @bytebot twittering a delay at Parliament Train station where 3 hoons who were throwing rubbish at a train that led to police arrests. Which messed up all the other trains going thru The Loop."
Unconvinced at the usefulness of twitter? Check this story out.
You get to see me in the picture as well :)

"As part of our annual internship program, an intern will often start working on an internal app to get familiar with our development environment, coding practices, etc. This year, star intern Andrew Canby was given the task of overhauling our current lunch ordering system. This is no easy task either, hell hath no fury like 12 hungry nerds so bugs or downtime are no an option!"
That's the kind of internship I'm looking for :)

"While Perth will be the first Australian city with Google Transit, company officials said the search firm was in talks with other state transport authorities and expected the service eventually to be available Australia-wide."
Good luck Google if you're bringing this to Melbourne. Unless you cater for our broken system, all Google Transit will do is remind us what public transport should be.
"Why don't we have all the (applications) on the network - and by the way it's free," Mr Schmidt said in a dig at Microsoft."
Arrogant twat. Nice to see he conveniently forgets that we're actually giving Google all our data for free so they can effectively on-sell it and make more money at our expense. There's no such thing as a free lunch, people.

"Skitch the new image editing/sharing tool from Plasq got a write up on TechCrunch today. Plasq is founded by Aussie CEO Cris Pearson who is based in Melbourne, they previously developed ComicLife which is a popular photo-comic-app for Mac."
Pretty neat utility, only because it blows away the traditional boundaries between apps. Melbourne made too, nice stuff.

"One of the highlights of Google Developer Day in Sydney last week was the announcement of Google Gears, a browser plugin that enables offline web applications...So, we started to do some thinking. Thinking turned to coding (as it often does), and after a caffeine-fuelled weekend, I'm happy to announce that you can now use Remember The Milk to manage your tasks offline."
Wow, that's a bloody quick turnaround. These Sydneysiders seem to be going from strength to strength. Will I use it? Nope, because it can't beat my mobile's todo list.
