Just listening to The Jazz Show, which is one of the many shows on The Podcast Network, which is being run by the two Aussies Cam and Mick.
I’m enjoying the show, and the selection of music is pretty good.
Must admit i’ve been a little slow on the downloading of the other podcasts on the podcast [...]

I’ve just been reading this post by Mike Roberts
(of Thoughtworks) which is titled “Goodbye Web Forms”. (via Sijin Joseph’s blog).
He’s removed all of the Web Form code for CruiseControl.NET (an Automated Continuous Integration server), which to some would sound like he’s basically reinventing the wheel.
There is absolutely no reason why you couldn’t do it [...]

Just got home about 45 minutes ago from the geek dinner with a bunch of others who attended the Microsoft Security Summit.
Was really great to meetup with everyone, as well as having all those interesting conversations.
A few names I remember who attended the dinner: Jarrad Plunkett, Matt Cosier, Matt Trentini, Andrew Coates, Michael Kleef, Tejas [...]

Re-reading a comment by ~Mj on my last post about the TabletPC needing more publicity.
Interesting the quoted price in that comment for the Fujitsu T4010 was $4000AUD.
I remember seeing the price for the Toshiba Portege m200 for under $3500 on the expansys website.

<br />
<asp:checkbox id=”chkSecondCheck” runat=”server” textalign=”Left” text=”I’m second!!!” enabled=”false” />
And also there is a bit of JavaScript on the ASP.NET page that [...]

Although I’ve known about the official Fairfax RSS feeds for awhile, I only just today found out that the other major print news publisher also have their own official RSS feeds.
They are available here: http://headlinefeeds.news.com.au (Registration is required to get to the feeds.)
Recently updated my bloglines subscriptions to include The ABC, a few Fairfax publications, [...]

Just to let you know, the blog script has been upgraded to the latest version (1.5).
So if anything is messed up, let me know.
Part of the upgrade process involved deleting all of the files, and uploading the new ones (I assume this is because there were many significant changes).
I know my comments were producing errors [...]

Bloggers keep watch on journalists via ABC News Online.
So the ABC is saying that bloggers are “influential media watchdogs”. Wonder if The ABC would consider turning their Media Watch program into a blog that accompanies the show?
Would be nice, wonder if anyone from the ABC or other media organisations watches the latest happenings on the [...]

Recently I joined a group blog called MetroBlogging.
From the site:
What is Metroblogging?
Metblogs are a hyper-local look at what’s going on in the city. Our regional bloggers give each site a new perspective on daily life; less calendar listing, more friendly advice.
I’m a member of the Melbourne MetroBlogging team.
MetroBloggers write about the city they [...]
