George Bernard Shaw quotation

The Unreasonable Man Quote

The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him... The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself... All progress depends on the unreasonable man. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (with thanks to Ian Yorston)

George Bernard Shaw quotation

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot chnage anything. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Reserve Bank - you need a reality check

I cannot believe the Reserve Bank is still suggesting that interest rates will need to be increased soon (based on food prices going up) to push down possible inflation.

As if the farmers haven't had enough already 10 yrs of drought and the 1st opportunity for good crops - washed away. And of course there would be another group of people losing their homes when the banks double the increase again. These Reserve Bank people are not living in the real world - and they need to be!

Post Holidays - back to reality

Got back from a mostly relaxing break on the not so sunny Gold Coast. Queensland - raining beautifully one day, a perfect storm the next!

Went to look for the hose to wash the car in the front yard and it's gone. Yes, it's been stolen. Honestly people, who is so miserable as to steal a hose. Arseholes! That tops the previous low act a couple of years ago when some bastard is seen casually walking into our yard, bends over the tap, is thought to be filling up a water bottle, and later it's realised he has cut the nozzle off the hose and stolen it!

Stop fucking stealing stuff!

iPad

I like the iPad, I really do, the size is very handy. However, isn't it really just an overgrown iPhone without the phone or camera. I'd like to see more of an overlapping of features with a laptop. Eg opening more than 1 window at a time, a camera would be useful, the ability to easily store and retrieve documents, and a USB port. I know you can do a lot of synching with you laptop, however this falls down when your laptop isn't around or doesn't have Internet access.

Holidays!

Off on Holidays for 3 weeks on the Gold Coast! I don't like humid heat however there is always aircon and the beach views are spectacular. Dusk and early morning walks along the beach are amazing, especially for me living in suburban Sydney.
