Anyone got crash space in Sydney from the 17th to the 22nd? Its for the AUUG Conf. And maybe a bit of time doing something touristy, seeing its been almost a decade since I was a tourist in Sydney. Alternatively, does anyone know of some form of backpackers near the Carlton Crest Hotel? The YHA Sydney Central seems to be a good bet, now I’ve got to convince Virgin I need a cheap flight, clearly.
Been playing with OOo m130 for OS X. Its also rather pleasant that OOo2 is in a release candidate stage. Cocoa OS X OOo? Hmm, while Tim Bray might’ve commented, keep in mind that this has been a requirement/want/need for the last few years. Programmers involved need to have X knowledge, Cocoa, C++, and Unixish tools. We try to gather folk at WWDC, I had created a fairly large spam list at WWDC2004, and got no responses. Now we’ve got web-based OpenOffice.org coming soon? I don’t think so. And I’m sure the X11 port of OOo isn’t dying. Really.
Caught Spanglish and Wimbledon on DVD. Serenity in the cinema. Whats all the hype about? Then its been Bride & Prejudice, P.S. and Lady Chatterly’s Lover on DVD.
And yes, no sell out here. Really. I did however get some good news via email a few days ago. I received the Apple University Consortium 2005 Best Practices Award. Hello PowerBook, money, and a plaque. I’m somewhat kicking myself for not attending the conference in Tasmania last-last week, as Joi Ito was keynoting. My only interest in OS X is from a commercial standpoint (i.e. I’m graduating eventually, I need to broaden my horizons). I’d need to eat and what not (its no fun dating without income, I’m sure), and maybe having both Linux and OS X knowledge will make me a lot more marketable.
As I said on #wordpress, Linux is still my first love, OS X is just like the concubine I’ve always wanted.
