General

I was recently introduced to RedBubble.com, and I absolutely love it. Whilst being ridiculously addictive, it inspires creativity and innovation in me.

My RedBubble profile only has half-decent work (or my better work ) on it and there are no personal photos on there (I will upload these to Flickr at some stage; wooohooo, Microsoft is no longer taking over Yahoo/Flickr). I shall endeavour to update my personal details and upload some more photos shortly, so stay tuned.

I've also bought a variety of t-shirts from RedBubble, but I'll wait until I have them before I blog about them.

If you have some time to kill, please take a look at my profile and RedBubble; and buy some of my work!

Just a rant about my home town. So, here goes.

My MacBook should arrive early next week (hopefully tomorrow, but its a public holiday so I doubt it). Unfortunately, since I won't be home to sign for it, I have two options:

1. Take some time off work and rearrange redelivery, once I receive the consignment notice; or


2. Arrange to pick up my package from the easily accessible depot (note my sarcasm!) which is located at the airport.

So, I have googled to find TNT's depot address, which happens to be on Acacia Street. Wonderful; I should have no problems! Except for the fact that there's two Acacia Streets within two neighbouring suburbs. This seems ridiculously stupid to me. Anyway, here's the proof courtesy of Google.

Just a quick entry to say that I've setup my gibberblog.com, .net, .org domains to redirect to blog.binary.io. I bought these domains a while ago and forgot to set them up for redirection when I setup this blog. I registered gibberblog.com, .net and .org because they were available and I used to host a blog on thegibberish.org; so they essentially have sentimental value.

Who/what the heck am I? If you're asking yourself that, then here is your answer.

I am a computer geek.
A Sci-Fi nerd (be it borg, cylons, goa'uld, vampires, witches or robots, I love it).
A television couch potato (without the television or the couch!).
A mac addict and evangelist.
A programmer.
An Australian.


Now we have that out of the way, you must be wondering what is this website; why did I create this blog?

This web log is where I (will) post my rants (that would be Microsoft) and raves (...and that would be Apple). I intend to focus on programming topics, the internet and a few other things.

As I will be attending WWDC 2008 this year, you will probably see some coverage of that.
