I don't want Safari

No Apple, I do not want to install Safari on my computer - would you please stop trying to push it on me through your software updates. Just because I use iTunes doesn't mean I want to have to continually tell you every month that I don't want you to install Safari for me!

Google Reader Shared Items

Google Reader nows allow you to share your items inside your friends Google Reader windows... a very nice feature (you can view my shared items here).

One additional feature I'd like is to be able to comment on the shared items so that when my friends view the item, they view my comments as well.

"US Cache" replacement - the video

We replaced a cache the other day for "howaussie and son" who own a cache here in Brisbane called "US Cache", but they are in the U.S. so are unable to maintain it. As we hadn't been caching for a while we did a quick video of out casual stroll out there - Chermside Hills is a lovely bit of bushland!

No smoking... maybe

Whats wrong with this picture?

Charity telemarketers

I'm on the Do Not Call register but that doesn't stop charities from calling me (who are exempt from my request to not be bothered).

I got a call from a particular charity today who opened with "Hello we're from suchandsuch charity and we're calling to ask people to give sizeable donations".

I said "Thank you I'm not interested".

"A couple hundred dollars maybe?" he asked.

"No, thank you".

"Maybe five hundred?" he countered.

"No, good-bye", at which I hung up.

I mean, seriously, after less than 20 seconds on the phone do they really expect anyone to just fork over $500... I find it hard to believe that anyone would do that. (Not that I don't give, just that I don't do it over the phone like that).

Skype uninstallation

I had to laugh at this message that Skype gave me when uninstalling. Can you see whats wrong with this picture?
