Learning Python
Due to a personality crisis I've now decided it's the time in my life to learn Python. So, does anyone have good pointers to tutorials and so forth?
JVC utilities for changing the images and movies on my head unit
So I don't lose them: changing images on your JVC head unit and the JVC windows application which makes it easy.
Australian’s say the darndest things
Andrew points out a couple of translation problems we had yesterday. I'm pretty sure the real estate salesman thought we said "Master bedroom is shit" instead of "Master bedroom ensuite" from the look he was giving me...
Top resale value cars
CNN's guide to cars with the top resale value seems useful too.
Hybrid buyer’s guide 2005
While clearing out my browser tabs, I came across this guide to buying a hybrid car -- thought it might come in handy later, so here it is.
Jet lag
Apparently I'm not over my jet lag just yet, as it's 5:30am and I can't get back to sleep. I've been up for about an hour now. Oh well.
The book
Just a little status update... The book went to print last night, so I guess that makes me a published author or something. Cool, huh?
Arrived yesterday
So, Andrew and I arrive in Santa Clara from Canberra yesterday. It took about 24 hours of travelling, and a lot of queueing to make that happen, but we're here finally. I must admit I'm really liking things so far, I was a bit worried about the expense of rent until we went and saw am apartment complex this morning, and I'm not worried about that now. The mall is nice (the local one that is), the temporary apartment is nice (photos soon), and the rental car is crap, but that's ok. On a musical note I only just recently discovered the Black Eyes Peas, so I picked up Elephunk this morning. Damn that's a good album -- it's rare for me to find a disc that I like every track on, but this is one of them. Anyways, here. Alive. In Santa Clara for now. Must wander off now...
Recursive linkage zen
University of Canberra, my undergraduate university has banned Sony music CDs because of their evil DRM scheme. I can confirm that Professor Cheetham is real (he lectured me on electronics), and that the address certainly looks correct too. [icbm: home]
Stilly, the lump of meat
It turns out that not only am I a diagnosis, but I also over estimate, and secretly hate project managers. Thanks Gordon, that's probably the nicest farewell I've ever had. [icbm: home]
