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 ;-)

/me rambles on a Sunday morning ... oh Day light saving .... get fuc***.

it's going to be a mark of a generation, as the O'Reilly series slips into further into age.
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 :)

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.

How ... modern of you.

I am of course referring to the perl. :)
