Flatmate #3

Got a new flatmate today. Currently at the barely-know-each-other stage. So you exchange the usual pleasantries etc, but if you really want to know someone these days you Google them :). And this one came with a blog. I’m sure Fred will eventually find this blog entry and may or may not freak out a little (hi Fred).

As the very first question he asked me when he turned up was, “What broadband plan are you on?” I have a feeling we will get along just fine. Except, it seems, where it comes to football. Could be a few fireworks there :).

Why you should always proofread your fee estimates

Might be some notion of truth behind that too, figuratively speaking.

Photosynth Prototype (0)
This is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Combine it with a large multi-touchscreen and it'd be mindblowing. Basically one of things this technology can do is suck in thousands of disparate 2D images and contextualise them within a 3D space. I wonder how much processing power that took to generate though...

The Next Reggie Bush (0)
When I played rugby at the primary school level, anyone who was any good at sprinting could do that. I remember racking scores of 50+ to nil against other schools because a couple of us would just grab the ball, dodge everyone and run the length of the pitch... and rugby doesn't have blockers. Then people got bigger. (Quicklink) • 5:54am •

Australia through to the knockout phase

4-0 tonight… immense relief. Churchill’s turned out a sizeable crowd, which was good to see. Looks like the Socceroos they finally pulled their finger out! We have a likely berth playing against Japan in Vietnam. They’ll be out for revenge.
