Who would of thought :(

Went and got a Macbook Pro 17″ on salary sacrifice, and its now got everything installed and how I like it. So I’ll get an update to the form builder rolling soon, it’ll mainly just be patching to other users input. In the mean time, I’m waiting for Steam to come out on OSX, so I can break this laptop.

Rads.

Here we are again, after another failed job, I was re-employed within a week of the drama. Initially I accepted a job with Zoo, but found the situation at Couch to be a little more ‘needy’. So Lex Holden and I signed on, and have been here since September something.

This makes it my second tour of Couch. Worked here as a junior back in 2004. Seems the business has matured, less confusion.

Its been good, we’ve setup an SVN, new development server, changed coding environments, put a WIKI in place for all digital stuff. Basically they were using Google Docs to organize everything web related. Which was a huge gaping mess of mixed emotions and confusion.

This is a postback, as the real date is Jan 19th 2010, but it feels more appropriate to put this in as a November entry. I had hesitations divulging where I was working for a little while.

Webservers I hosted sonuku.com on died in the explosion at the server room in texas. Pretty annoying! So I packed up my bags and moved to hosting within Australia. It’s on Jumba hosting atm, which amounts to overstacked shared hosting with slowass databases… But hey. Its cheap, and so am I!

Trying to get everything up and running again, and am in the process of re-developing Dump (When I get spare time at work)…

Uhh, what else… All the comments got nuked, and I cant’t be screwed to import them… I had a girlfriend and now don’t, and I’ve been going to the gym.

Might need to re-skin this blog too. >_>

Hazaa.

So fars its been working pretty rad, got it hooked up to outlook and crap at work, so it cries at me when I have shit to do, and the 3D snake is awesome win. I noticed if i left it plugged into USB, the battery promptly goes flat… So thats a mental note…

But like, its got a fucking 5 mega pixel camera! So infact I didn’t buy a phone, I bought a camera with extra shit on it… Oh, and it plays music & porn, but all phones do that. I guess I just like it because it’s mine.

Alot of people bitched and moaned about the battery life, but if its not plugged into USB, it lasts fine. I used it all night Saturday, taking a heap of photos, and the battery was still full bars the next day… Speaking of which, happy birthday Bron, hope you find your camera.

Luke successfully wins the shittest photo of the night award.

Theres some more photos up at Flickr

According to all my mates, I’ll lose this phone within the month. Bringing my grand total of lost mobile phones to 13 or 14, I lose count.

Oh, and i also reskinned http://spam.sonuku.com to look like this shitty entry page, but if you dont already have a spam account, you wont really care, because you cant have one.

I started on and took the role of mainly a programmer for PHP and AJAX, but also the multimedia development stuff too.

So, after two weeks, it’s fkn awesome! There is a pool table in the kitchen, play pool at lunch etc, the only drawback is its in Fyshwick, which is about 30km from my place, and in peak hour traffic… 30km is AIDS. Got first paycheque, and went and got some shoes.

What else… Chris is getting married! What the fuck. 23yr olds don’t get married! Had a party at his place last night, he fuzzes off over to America on 4th July to go marry Alexandra. Seems rushed to me, but I guess I have no idea how long he has actually been dating/talking to/seeing Alex…

So yeah! Will wait and see. Plus it makes me feel fucking bad that my mates are getting married and moving, and I haven’t even found a useful girlfriend :P One day! Meh, at least I have a couch to crash on in random places around the world now :D

My car died 3 times this week, the alternator and distributer are boned, so I had to get it towed from random locations at random times, its also pretty shit when you break down on a single lane busy road, in the middle of an intersection… Everyone is happy enough to beep at you and yell, but no fuckers would help me get it out of the way… I ended up just leaving it in the way and walking to the taxi rank at the airport (1.5km away)

A friend from the internets died in a car crash in New Zealand this week, which I guess eats a dick. I didn’t know his in real life, but the friendship connection still means something. link.

Thats about all that happened.
Bam

So thats all done, and it’s now in their hands to administer and keep working! The joys of wordpress. Yes, it’s very purple, yes it’s meant to be, yes they requested it to be!

It’s so god damn sexy! After about an hour of tweaking, removing smooth scrolling, editing widgets setting up folders/file structure/drivers, everything works excellent!

Edit: Yes, I fucking have Scissor Sisters CD, get over it. And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a good movie >_<

Thats running on my 3 monitors, centre one is a 22″ crt with two smaller screens off to the side. Yarrgh, pretty awesome OS Microsoft has come up with.
