Major annoyance in Windows XP – Copy & Paste functions

I'm currently attempting to shift large files around on a Windows XP machine (the joys of enterprise) and have run into a major annoyance that reduces productivity dramatically. When you have files in your clipboard, and have pasted them, and then you are awaiting the files to be created in the destination, you cannot copy any other items or the paste function will cease. If you happen to be transferring close to a gigabyte, well, you should go and find something else to do for a while.

Australian Pricing – Adobe, Apple, Canon and Microsoft

Four companies whose products I use a lot: Adobe; Apple; Canon; and Microsoft. A simple comparison of prices of products I use. The issue - what is the "Buy in Australia" impost ("tax" if you will) that companies are adding to products here that is driving purchasing by consumers to the grey import option?

“It is the human friction that makes the sparks” – Chris Dixon

“It is the human friction that makes the sparks” - Chris Dixon.
Universities, generally, silo groups away from one another - reducing precisely these types of sparks. I remember attending an interactive art exhibition at the University of Technology, Sydney as a guest of IBM Australia, and found myself scratching my head. Why was it that all these artistic folk with great ideas (from talking to them) were getting bogged down learning how to programme instead of teaming up with the university's computer science & engineering groups. The silo that was created by sticking only with like people ended up implementing ideas in the space which were stale, low quality and not-innovative at all. The most amazing exhibit was one that had already been commercialised for public spaces - with the combined talent of artists' vision and engineers' implementation. While it is understandable that we stick like with like - it's not always the best approach.

VAustralia flight VA0001 (SYD -> LAX) wasn't too bad a flight, Xanax For Sale. About Xanax, Initially I had a former Dubbo boy (now living in Vegas) and his under 1yo son in the seats next to me (well, the bub had to ride on dads lap), ordering Xanax online.

Flight @ VA0001 (SYD . LAX), <b>buy no prescription Xanax online</b>, 28 May, 2011

Once out I headed for a shuttle to the airport and met a man from Melbourne over for a month to visit his two underachieving offspring (BSc USYD, PhD Oxford, Post-doc Caltech) as it was his sons birthday, so first call for him was his daughter's at Pasadena (before flying to the north east where his son is now). Had a great chat about politics, r+d, Australian brain drain, what to do in Pasadena, european cities, long haul flights and all manner of travel anecdotes while waiting for the shuttle and enroute to our respective destinations.

Thankfully on arrival my room was prepared, so I headed up after getting directions to where my arse is currently parked (le Pain Quotidien). After typing a semi-lucid email to Kath I decided a nap was in order to attempt to normalise my body clock. 2hrs and a shower later I was wandering the streets of Pasadena looking for lunch an checking out the local shops slightly bewildered at being on the other side(-ish) of the world, Xanax For Sale.

Ratings for le Pain Quotidien:


  • coffee (cap) was rubbish. Bring on San Fran. Seriously how do Americans drink this rubbish claimed as espresso?!

  • food was American inspired - aka overloaded with meat and low on the vegetable/salad component that was claimed. Maybe I should have gone with the soup.

So I'll wander a bit, see what else is out there, find some wifi and call my gorgeous girlfriend slaving in the cold Victorian High Country (looking for gold... No, really!) and kill some more time before the rehearsal dinner tonight. I suspect the first beer will go down easily, but with more dramatic consequences than I'd like.
