cake, mates of state @ middle east (Apr 28 2004 05:59 GMT) - Tonight, Vieve, John and I went to the Middle East Downstairs to see Mates of State open for Cake. This post, however, is not about Cake. I enjoy their music. I listen to it more than a lot of other stuff. I have seen them before. |

Library deals come into focus. (Apr 28 2004 05:58 GMT) - CityNews has a grandiosely titled "Exclusive" up here (if that's an exclusive where do they source the rest of their material?) on the shifting sand that is the Government position on Civic Library (Following on from this story last week). Let's think about a few things for a second: Moving a library is an expensive business, and at some point there's supposed to be a permanent home as part of the theatre/museum/assembly complex on Ethos Square. So we could be looking at two moves in three years, possibly confusing a public which naively thinks things like libraries will remain where they were last seen. |

Canberra Times confirms the worst about curriculum review. (Apr 28 2004 05:58 GMT) - Following on from yesterday's story on the launch of the Discussion Paper on the new ACT Curriculum we have this story in the Canberra Times which confirms my worst fears. "Schools in the ACT will be refocused to emphasise personal development and lifelong learning with the aim of turning out well-rounded individuals who can take their place in a rapidly changing world." Was any buzzword left behind? |

Toomey Lost (Apr 28 2004 05:57 GMT) - Toomey appears to have lost a close race. What a shame; Bush will have only that much harder a time getting judicial nominees confirmed should he be re-elected. |

Shuttle SK83G (Apr 28 2004 05:56 GMT) - Sudhian Forums - Shuttle SK83G. Shuttle announces their next Athlon 64 machine. Uses a variant of the VIA chipset that has integrated graphics. Not clear how well it overclocks. It uses the older 754 pin socket, so most discussion is about whether to wait for the upcoming 939 sockets that... |

Warming The Cockles (Apr 28 2004 05:55 GMT) - You would have to have a heart of stone not to get the warm&fuzzies about this report from Fallujah:U.S. warplanes and artillery attacked Sunni insurgents holed up in a slum in a thunderous show of force that rocked Fallujah Tuesday, sending huge plumes of black smoke into the night sky.

Splitting The Difference (Apr 28 2004 05:55 GMT) - Yesterday, I spoke about the Greek Cypriots voting against the unification of Cyprus, and how partition would probably be the only workable solution. Well now, it looks as though the Greek Cypriots have shot themselves in the foot by doing so. What they wanted, of course, was a chance to negotiate for more for themselves. But now they're going to end up with, well, the status... |

Close To Home (Apr 28 2004 05:55 GMT) - By now you've all heard about the set of foiled terrorist attacks in Amman, Jordan. Most interesting to me has been the reaction of Jordanians:"I was scared to death and the first question that came to mind was 'what should I do with my children,'" said Husseini, a 38-year-old mother of two boys. "I'm afraid this... |

Using profile in social business networks (Ecademy) (Apr 28 2004 05:54 GMT) - Though I like the way social business network platforms such as Ecademy use the 'personal profile' to place yourself in the network, there's some considerations I have. First I need to admit that unlike a community, where your identity is also built through participation and quality of conversation, there is a lot of ongoing work that needs to be done in the profile. You almost start off with a framework and incrementally build a decent profile that matches your business needs and describes your ambitions (whether personal or business). For this, most of them seem to use keyworks. "Describe yourself in 50 keywords" is a very good exercise to bring down "You" - your identity - down to a couple of elements. |
