The unspoken language of the coffee station.

I’ve been meaning to post up a few blog entries that I had hived off with BlogJet recently. A few weeks ago I was heading back upstairs to the office after having lunch with Joseph Cooney.

Joseph wanted to grab a coffee so we swung a left. As we approached the coffee station the attendant grabbed a expresso cup and started making a double expresso. Joseph put some money on the counter and walked to the other end to wait. Not a word was exchanged . . .

 

Australia needs a sci-fi channel.

On one weekend recently TV1 decided to run a StarTrek Deep Space Nine marathon starting from around 7:30pm on Friday to about the same time on Saturday. It was great, I could put my feet up and code, do a bit of house work and all the time indulge in one of my favorite pastimes which is watching science fiction television.

Its kind of sad that the only time I get to do this is when my wife is away because she isn’t really a big fan of the genre. Ironically she really likes StarGate the movie but detests the series - go figure! Personally I really look forward to the double episode on Thursday night.

What Australia really needs is a sci-fi channel with 24/7 sci-fi. It would be like the Comedy channel only it wouldn’t suck. I am already a Foxtel Digital subscriber and I’d happily give up another channel for this priv.

BlogJet 1.2 BETA is out!

Just a quick one. I got an e-mail from the BlogJet guys today with an annoucement that they have just released a BETA of BlogJet 1.2 (second link). It has a few nice features.

One that I noticed straight away is that they have an out of the box plug-in for FireFox which I had stopped using because it was too time consuming to get the functionality I had in IE up and running. Maybe I will look at it again.

They also had a link to a plug-in for NewsGator which I have installed – we’ll see how that goes.
