Noch ein Bier, bitte! - One more beer, please!

The day was not dry, but cold and wet.

As time drew near, closer, we fret.

It was now due for us to leave.

Onward to Sash's party this eve.

We arrive with fanfare and our usual grace.

Sash greeting us with a smile on his face.

"Shit, we're late" lets make a move.

Jove's still getting dressed, dude.

Finally, we're off. To the train station

Crossing the street and up the elevation.

With a sudden blur, the train appears.

If we miss this one, we won't get there for years.

Blasting down the stairs

We just make it in.

Settled on the seating

With compromised position.

A stroll through the Quay

We make it to Löwenbräu

Spelling mistakes

Cause us to have a cow.

We were let in okay

And taken to our seats

Where we ordered our beers

And selection of cold meats.

Our meals arrived quickly

And on to our secord course

The beer was flowing

I started talking in Morse.

Voices got louder

Dirtier jokes

Helgas with boosoms

Covered in coats.

What the fuck?

This isn't right....

More beer please,

It's the start of the night!

Alex and Mary

Are off to get home

5am start

I don't envy them both.

Sash and Jove

Karensa and me

Talk and drink

With merry and glee.

Karensa and Jove

Stumble up the alley way

Jove is sick

Mixed alcohol gone stray

From champagne to schnapps

To beer, Oi! That was mine.

Jove is wasted

Spewing all the time.

We found her up the street

Kneeling over a pot plant

Bleahhhh, out it came

We all laughed, what a rant.

Laying down on the bench

She takes a small nap

Rudely awaken

By Sash's bursting yap!

"Get up, don't sleep"

Sash is freaking

Jove says "Shutup"

"I'm not sleephmfthing..."

We get her up

And she chunders some more.

Embarrassed, we walk her

To the main street floor.

TAXI! We caught one

The driver not sure.

Karensa assures him

She's already spewed before.

Sash held her boot

Over her mouth.

Ten minutes later,

Bleahhh! like a spout

Straight into the shoe

Down the calve it goes

Again and again

Who knows how many times

We finally arrive home

And put her to slumber

Karensa crashes in the car

What a bummer.

I sober up

And find Karensa in the car

Say goodbye to Sash

Best birthday by far.

people, Don't know how to sentence structures. anymore

The other night on television, I heard an advertisement for McDonald's. It told me that I should try their new menu. What it actually said, and I quote is, "7 items under $3"

Great musicians, but are they really?

Over the years, as you play music in various states of this life-cycle, you grow musically by taking on something new every time you jam or perform with other musicians.

Solar powered electric plugin cars.

I guess electric cars will have to start somewhere. I guess the people bagging them out are the ones who'll also laugh at the early adopters (beta testers) that will buy these cars. Maybe to show off, maybe because of more legitimate, environmental reasons. But at the end of the day, while still using fossil fuels to create the car I'd imagine the significant petro-costs of running the car will be discounted immediately due to the fact that it won't need to be refuelled, but plugged in.

Acknowledgement is brilliant

There are a lot of ways to tell people something. Generally people tend to tell you when something goes wrong "You sir are an idiot... now fix it" and when you do, you hear nothing. Gratitude and appreciation for someone's work can be worth more than money could be. You can get paid large amounts of money to do something and do it right. There is no denying that a large piece of money is a good thing. But nothing feels better than a "Thanks" or "Great job mate, couldn't have done it without you" when you know you've done well.

Yes, acknowledgement is brilliant.

Big Hearted Renovators Dream can only lead to disappointment

You have to love marketing. The crap they come up with sometimes is gold. I know someone who owns a marketing company. I have to say, they're a great person to hang out with. Because they're so full of shit that everything they say is hilarious.

The OLPC project

Most people have now heard of the One Laptop Per Child project that has been around for a number of years. And I agree with most people, that is it a brilliant device to bring our world, particularly our 3rd world up to speed with what is happening around the rest of the place.

Great!

Well, no actually. As much as this project excites me, it also brings up a bunch of questions I can't help but ask myself. There are some issues I feel I should express as I think this whole idea of providing technology we take for granted to people who don't know what a calculator is might be uneccessary.

It's Fryday

Today I let the majority of my existing clients know that I will probably no longer support Windows for new clients. The current clients are okay. This comes as no surprise really. I've always preferred supporting macs and I have always had to support PC's as the bread and butter jobs. But something interesting has happened lately. I have told myself I will only suppor macs and all of a sudden these mac customers have appeared, as if out of thin air asking me for advice and bringing me work.

Picking up habits

In order for me to continue this blog, I have decided I will try my best to post something new once a day. At worst a week and hopefully this blog will live on. :)

It was one of those busy weekends where you appear to have done not much, but there is no time for anything else, and you look back while at work to wonder what happened.
