Day 8 - 08 October 2006Ok stealing most of the text from Paul. Reading his blog, it was pretty much what I wanted to say, but since I'm a bit lazy, im gonna steal his. I'll add bits and pieces however and remove them as relavent. I'll also update it during the time as I get some names from Jen, she is really good at them :p (thx in advance J)We left Cusco bound for Ollantaytambo which is a town

Day 7 - 07 October 2006Got up nice and early today. This is the day I meet the rest of the group that didnt turn up the night before. Met Paul at breakfast. He was feeling a little better, but not quite right. He was just gonna take it easy today and get himself fit for his tour. Felt a bit sorry for him. He is a lot more energytic that I am, yet here I am a lot more exicted and feeling better

Day 6 - 06 October 2006Today was a day of travel. Morning flight to Lima from Iquitos. As always, I guess, the flight was late. Got to Lima, and lets just say it was totally different to Iquitos. I was kinda missing Iquitos already, but was trying to have an open mind. Heck I have had an open mind to everything. This was my first trip that i've done outside my norm. Most of the day Paul and I

Day 5 - 05 October 2006Early rise for us to get to the boat before breakfast for a quick tour of birds of the Amazon. Got back to breakfast and Paul and I were just telling everyone what they missed out the night before. After breakfast, Jamie and Nikkie (the English couple on their honeymoon) along and Paul and I went off for a quick hike to check out the local wildlife. Got to see monkeys and

Day 4 - 04 October 2006Had more eggs and ham with toast, and Paul and I were ready for our amazon trek. The tour guys picked us up at the hotel. We basically checked out, but leaving our luggage at the hotel storage for a couple of days. Got to the harbour, and onto the boat, to start our Amazing Amazon Adventure. Went past the river restaurant we had dinner the night earlier. Also saw these dead

Day 3 - 03 October 2006The day we were really in Iquitos, Peru for. The day Paul had to give a final presentation to the GBIF community about the GBIF MAPA project. Paul was a bit nervous, so I think I gave him a few words of encouragments, told him how if he can survive working with me, then he shouldn't have any problems doing a presentation. I'm pretty sure I could be making it up, but for the

Day 2 - 02 October 2006Well day 2 was quite interesting. Had eggs and ham with buttered toast for breakfast along with my malarial pills. This was the first time I've had eggs and ham mixed together, and the first of many. It was quite interesting.. i liked it.. So what did I do today.. Paul and I went off to check out the hood, the local market and let me tell you something, it was a damn

Day 1 - 01 October 2006So Day 1. Let me remember. Flew into Iquitos, Peru on Sunday 01 October 2006 at 8am local time. That was the end of a bloody long flight. The airport was interesting. Lets just say it works, i think :p. There were about 2 or 3 burned/rusted planes there and Paul and I started to take pics but were told off by the security gaurds :p. Apparently, one of the locals mentioned

Russ Weakley and Cameron Adams are putting together an awesome workshop integrating CSS and JavaScript to help develop awesome new websites and web applications. I personally use a lot of AJAX on my web application at AM and DEC, and I think this will definately take over the web world soon. In my opinion, this workshop is targetted at web developers who like to do things quick and dirty, who

So, life, hasn't changed much since I last posted. Well, except, i've gotten a lot more busier with work, which I suppose I should be happy about. Better busy than not I suppose. Added a couple of my mates blogs on the right, so check them out under the Friends section. Still working for Australian Museum and NSW Dept. of Environment and Conservation.

Richard Ishida, chair of Internationalisation at W3C was in Australia for a week long talks about i18n and how web developers, content manager and designers need to think about i18n from at an earlier stage of the project. i18n (short for internationalisation as there are 18 letters between the first and the last letter), is an area where companies need to look into providing a feature if they

So Symantec NAV having problems again. Apart from being a "hog-ware", it now can help those hackers inject some serious virus into the system. Check out the details of the exploit and not just for NAV here (pdf) (exploit by Alex Wheeler).

After a long absence from blogging, I’m back. Well, I haven’t actually left the net, infact, it was, and still has 99% claim on my life (gawd, I sound pathetic). Anyhoo, nothing new happening. Still haven’t taken a break from work in a long time, and no break this chrissy either. However, I’m heading to Colorado, USA in Jan. for a meeting, so that should be good. It is a free trip, and I can’t

Would you like to be ruled under an oppressive government?Would you like to live under poverty? Would you like people you know and care die needlessly?So why should the millions of people in Africa go through that? Don’t just throw money at the problem, coz it ain’t gonna help. Individuals like us, can’t do much with just throwing money at the problem. Small groups can’t do much, well, not unless

So lets talk about me a bit more..Life, working as a contractor for public service, is good. I tend to think i have the best of worlds. Since I work as a web-developer doing some web based mapping, I get to work with both proprietary and open-source software.ESRI is a good piece of software, the new version allowing you to do a whole lot of stuff. But you should be ready to dish out some major
