Nicole Kuepper : Not One, but TWO Eureka Prizes! opinion | (0)
Congrats Nicole Kuepper for the two Eureka Prizes you won last night!!! (Photo: Kate Geraghty, Sydney Morning Herald/Fairfax © 2008) This morning as I lay half awake in bed listening to the 630am news on TripleJ I was vaguely aware of a Nicole Someoneorother winning a couple of Eureka Prizes last night. It was when they told listeners the area in which she specialised that I jumped out of bed and looked up on the internet to find that it was indeed none other than Nicole Kuepper, whom I've known since she started her Bachelors in Engineering at the University of ...

Schooner Rant: ADSL2+ Connectivity Ridiculity Life, opinion | (5)

(Photo: Creature - CreativeCommons license from Placbo) As all good geeks who move into a new abode I'm currently going through the fun of organising my web connectivity. Now while I understand that processes take time, I find it amusing how many of the options out there in Australia involve contracts of between twelve and twenty-four months. Twelve is fair enough, as this is a fairly standard lease agreement ...

Last year I ended up moving to Newcastle for six months as part of the graduate engineering program, this year it's into the city and taking up a permanent position at EnergyAustralia.
