tcpipMade my pitch this week to the Victorian Boating Industry Association to redo their website using open source technologies (example) for a mere $5000. They decided to go with a more expensive proprietary solution, which was currently being used by two out the four decision makers. Damn. In other IT work related news have worked through some VB code to make Bendigo payroll and invoice payments automatic through an MS-Access interface. Started CCNA semester three; (re)learnt about VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Addressing). Borderlands' server died yesterday (after six months of me giving the CoM warnings). Fortunately I had another server on order (without the CoMs permission) and planning the build tomorrow. Perhaps now they will listen to me.
Last night travelled to Spotswood's old pumping station with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya to see We Built This City, a multimedia documentary of the building industry and current IR legislation appropriately set underneath the site of a notorious building accident; the West Gate bridge. A combination of interviews, the Trades Hall choir, industrial sounds, some Aussie rock (with Mark Seymour!) film interviews, mini front-end loaders in synchronised movement (like Arab horses) and dancing cranes (I kid you not). Really was quite good fun.
The Catholic Archibishop of Sydney, Dr. George Pell, again proves he is a powerful moron. I have just written to The Age suggesting that the good Dr. check the Christian Bible and the history of the Roman Catholic Church for the advocacy and use of violence. He might find one or two ;-).lederhosen provides further insight to his mind.
GetUp have organised a new petition aimed at preventing the Government's plans to put children of asylum seekers back in detention. Once again youngsters US prove to be geographically illiterate. The World Conservation Union claims that the mass extinction rate is now includes hippos, polar bears and 1/3 of amphibians.
