Freedom!
I've resigned as President, as an executive member, as the Media person and web developer and even as a member for Prosper Australia. This is, mind, having finished a politicians "re-education" pack, a "simple message" leaflet, three websites and giving necessary details for staff members to organise an event.
This is largely due to the inability of one (almost full-time) individual in the organisation to give clear instructions on what they wanted in areas of their responsibility, and their refusual to take direction from others when they had the authority to do so.
So rather than engage in what would be the equivalent of a long and portracted IR dispute, I simply left the organisation. It is probably easier to implement the ideas of Henry George outside the organisation nominally designed for such a purpose.
This does mean that I currently have no permanent work. Financially I am more than OK however; there is close to $10K in my savings account, I have another $20K in "incoming income" (invoices, loans etc) and my rent is paid for the next nine months.
Summer days approach ;-)

I have enough unfinished projects and future plans to do the things that I want to do rather than engage with incompetents. Life's too short for that sort of nonsense.
Besides, there's always plenty of opportunity on the 'net instead....
But first, I have some computer games to finish (kindly and opportunely purchased by

Oh lordy.
I think I'd rather donate ;-)
I could grow a super-thin highly waxed mo, wear some 16th century dapper clothes, carry my rapier around and describe myself as Senhor Leonardo dos Lafayette.

I approve. Out of theme, but perhaps you need to get a persian cat too. Would that mix well with a bunny rabbit and rats though?

Unfortunately I suspect not. Don't tell
After the guinea pigs, that was.
Damn flat is turning into a menagerie.

turning!?!
Lords of summer?

Point.
Lords of summer?
Well, it's better than being a Lord of Sumer. Those gods send you on quite a wild goose chase.

You guys busy today?
Have new docs will travel ... and well yes ... limp a bit ... wow it's been AGES (over a decade) since I bought a new pair of docs ... ow but shiny, ow but black, ow but squicky.

If only we knew... We were in the city twenty minutes ago.
I bought some shiny atlases, an ancient book on Pascal and an old O'Reilly book on CGI programming...
/me rambles on a Sunday morning ... oh Day light saving .... get fuc***.
I have already have many volumes that are dogeared and now slowly collect dust, their relevance waining. I try to be so careful when collecting dead trees ... but there is an argument that keeping copies of "The linux kernel" (1st ed) as far as modern relevance goes, is utterly pointless ... esp when space on my shelves is at such a frigging premium. I need new bookshelves ... which also means I need a bigger house.
Anyway re catching up ... I hope you enjoy gaming today, you certainly deserve the break ... oh by the way I am stealing your girlfriend today.
Be afraid :)
Re: /me rambles on a Sunday morning ... oh Day light saving .... get fuc***.
The CGI one isn't too bad as a primer. The examples are mostly in perl which is sort-of relevant ;-)
You're stealing my girlfriend!? You fiend! No, seriously.. have fun. We'll catch up ce soir.
Re: /me rambles on a Sunday morning ... oh Day light saving .... get fuc***.
I am of course referring to the perl. :)

I feel compelled to advise you against guinea pigs. They are, by far, the most boring rodents ever. ALL they do is eat, shit, and squeak. (We used to have three...)
In other news, I wish it was going to be summer here... :/

Now, GPs aren't exactly the smartest critters are they?
This one however did have a multi-coloured emo-like hairstyle (furstyle?) which increased it's cute value.

For some reason, only expliciable to Melbourne's chaotic weather, it's grey and raining today.
