Billy Thorpe: Australia’s Loudest Man goes Quiet

There will be many Australian sharpie Baby Boomers very quiet today. The hero of loud, Australian Rock and Roll, Billy Thorpe, died at 60 of a heart attack over night.

I wonder if in this election year, the pollies will pull a State Funeral. I hope so, as the impact his music had on that generation surpasses many who get a State funeral.

Inspiration from the Valley Vista Party

Stephanie Quilao, from Silicon Valley, recently hosted a Vista party. I wasn’t invited, sadly.

However: this guy was. He’s 12 and he’s programming using Visual Studio on Vista. We all want to know more!

Microsoft has the Express versions of Visual Studio available for free. That’s right, no cost.

Then pop over to Coding4Fun to see what you could code. Every day I have an idea that I would like to see written as a piece of software. Do you?

Arhhhh! Tagged.com got me

Yeah, user error. My mistake. I should have watched all the check boxes on the site. Mea Culpa. Now all my gmail contacts get spam from me. Ugly.

So, whilst I am on the topic: social networking sites should only opt-in, not opt-out. Make it a little more difficult to show your friends you are an absolute dork and idiot. Plaxo had the same effect on people, and it made your Outlook run as slow as treacle.

I am a fan of linkedin.com; myspace.com is interesting but looks as ugly as Prince Charles’ second wife; not much else has caught my eye.
