The Plan

Robin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:08:18 +0000

I have a plan. Well, a strategy. Or something like that. So begins the rambling.

Currently we live in the middle of fscking nowhere aka Doreen, Victoria. This is not surprising to us, we bought the house. But we bought it when our life was quite a bit different, then it took far too long to build, and we came to resent it … it is not home, it is just a house.

We need to leave. For the following reasons (and more):\

Social: we actually have friends now, and are getting out to see bands, exhibitions, and more
Time: I spend 3+ h0urs a day travelling to/from work. The boy spends over an hour travelling each day, and doesn’t live near enough to school friends to make visits feasible
Financial: bad financial decisions, Tessa not being able to work productively (travel and expenses make it almost a zero-return effort)
Resentment: We can’t forget the ill-will generated during the build

So we have this plan. It goes something like this:

clean up the house and yard so that we can pitch it as a ‘clean slate’ – we’re in the middle of a huge development area, so if we can provide a house 80% done, someone can “make their mark” and their home without the hassle of building
rent in Brunswick, Carlton, Northcote, or somewhere similar – maximum 30 mins door-to-door for me to/from work on public transport, 10 mins or so each way for the boy
live happily ever after

But there is a problem. I’m lacking a tactic, a short-term technique. This will take some capital, some dosh, moola, folding stuff. I dont have it. I can’t seem to hold on to it long enough.

I am heading into despair, watching every payday come and go, yet making no headway. I have debt, stupid dept, large debt. In addition to the mortgage. Servicing that debt is preventing the saving, and preventing (thankfully I think) new debt aka temporary capital.

This wont be a problem once the house is sold, as we’ve had a substantial capital value increase in the house and land since we bought it nearly 4 years ago. We’ll clear the mortgage and all our debt and still have a substantial investment amount, we’ll be able to pay rent up front, bonds, etc easily.

But we cant do that today. We’re stuck in the mud. Slowly sinking. Going mad.

Tech.Ed 2009

Robin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 08:53:32 +0000

[This is a belated and incomplete post, but since I'm unlikely to finish it, might as well publish what I threw together in the airport on the day after]

Wow, where to start? Tech.Ed is the Microsoft IT geek yearly pilgrimage, held this year on the Gold Coast, as it was 2 years ago for my first attendance.

A quick summary of my Gold Coast experience:

Really, there are a lot of retirees here.
Those who are not retirees are young women wearing very little, and repeatedly trying to pull it down/up to cover the exposed areas.
The rest are visiting families trying to take their 4yo kids into restaurants, bars, etc. The men are usually being chided for looking at the young women mentioned above.
The weather is the same every day. What’s the point in that? Bah, give me Melbourne with its highly diverse weather experience.

Tech.Ed this year was always going to be a strange one with the offering of a free mini laptop (netbook) to all attendees – a world first for Microsoft Australia (I think). The laptop offering did mean compromises has to be made in other areas, but on the whole I think was an extremely positive result.

With 2500+ netbooks, other laptops, iPhones, Blackberrys, and Windows Mobile phones all wanting to have wireless internet access throughout the conference centre, wifi was a big challenge. I think Microsoft, Cisco, and the GCCEC did a superb job in meeting that challenge and were only prevented from receiving top marks due to the actions of a few selfish, idiotic attendees who seemed to feel entitled to BitTorrent and deny excellent service to the other geeks out to learn and enjoy the experience.

Actually, that would have to be the common sour theme for my Tech.Ed experience this year: the selfish gits who can’t seem to show common courtesy to their fellow geeks. So, a grab-bag of gripes I’ve had:

Bandwidth hogging is not cool on the conference network.
Getting drunk and being silly is up to you, but don’t puke anywhere in/near the conference centre.
Set your phones to silent when in a session. Seriously, how fscking hard is it to do this? Are you all retards? Everyone is permitted one mistake, but the repeat offenders deserve stabbing in the eye.
Similar to the above, don’t talk in sessions, especially about crap that is not related to the session topic. If you are bored, quietly pack up and leave.
When wait staff are guarding a table of food so that it may be shared equitably amongst attendees, don’t make their job harder by trying to get the food. Pay attention and be patient. Queue jumpers make it worse for everybody. Again, one warning should have been enough, not every single meal time. Idiots.
Last, and least, when Question and Answer time happens at the end of a session, don’t bug the presenters about your specific technical fault. Ask a generalised tech fault question, ask about how it works, what the future of the product is, ask for contact details and preferred subject matter (ie. Do they want to hear you specific tech fault?), but don’t monopolise the presenter’s time for something that isnt relevant to the other 20+ people waiting to speak with them.

That’s enough whinging, now for something more positive: the sessions, content, and presenters.

Tech.Ed (and just about any other technical IT event) are plagued by demonstration failures. Examples that work perfectly 100 times will fail once on the screen in a session. Hardware will fail, power will fail, fingers and brains will refuse to co-operate once on stage. This is normal. Most presenters can, and did, cope with the situation appropriately and still have very successful sessions. Congratulations to them all, its a hard gig presenting to highly technical and critical geeks. Geeks who often feel they know more about any topic than the presenter (or anyone else at the conference).

Huh? How come I've only just heard about @BarCampMelb less than a week away? Publicity FAIL. Also, planning FAIL – I'm already booked out #
Anyway, kiddo dropped off for school camp, critical change for DVC made, coffee consumed. Now working from home until Dr appt. #
Thankfully #badoptus 3G (non-iPhone this time) is working slowly but reliably. @Internode needs to kick @Telsra wholesale some more #
Oh. And friend who was using my Optus data has run it over the 5G cap. Excess fees this month :/ #fb #
@BarCampMelb Hmm, SSL cert fail in reply to BarCampMelb #
@rickybuchanan Yes, that does seem likely, or perhaps I started ignoring it because I was already busy :/ Sad I cant go though. in reply to rickybuchanan #
I expect that #auteched snacks and meals will swamp the #wiafl "What I ate for lunch" tag. #
@damana Hehe, we'll have to see what we can sneak you into in reply to damana #
@damana LOL, disguise? Pretend it's #dragoncon and come in Storm Trooper gear (or Master Chief FTW). The geeks will cheer and let you in in reply to damana #
moar coffee req'd. strangely it's not making itself and being delivered to my desk. manual override initiated. #
@BronwenZ @damana yay for GGD! I've managed to sweet-talk my way into an invite, sounds like great fun! in reply to BronwenZ #

@Alegrya http://twitpic.com/gt56b – bewdiful. Ok, but I'll stop hating when I get there this time(ish) tomorrow #
And I'm off to a Dr appt. to see about my brain. #
@rosiex thx, evidently sick brain is making me miss/forget things. in reply to rosiex #
Yay/Boo. @Internode tell me they know why my Internets are borkened. But there is no ETA for fixage Local @Telstra wholesale issue. #
Yay/Boo. Dr says my brain exists and is not evidently broken. Trying new migraine meds with diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. #
Wait what??!! I have DSL link in last 5 mins! w00t!! #
@MamaBearRed So, more yay/boo. Yay, is getting new drive = music happiness. Boo, #withdrawal! in reply to MamaBearRed #

@calrion Been with @Internode for about a year, very happy. Only prob is that it's Telstra wholesale. in reply to calrion #
Hey, now my DSL is back I can tune into SkepTrack #dragoncon. 'Cept there's nothing on now and I wont be around tonight. Oh well, next year. #
