ers.irm heading towards completion…

cellstre.am getting birthed….

was asked to don the black hat today…. it will be a fucking cold day in hell before I jepadize my career for that shit again…

Love it, wake up and first email you see in outlook ( or whatever ) has a subject title of “Significant mistakes” just when your in the final stages of writing a financial application.

Damn. Hold on. Read a little further… seems it’s their mistake. Wrong template/code to me = wrong code in application.

*pheW

Interesting day… no doubt.

Started off with a ‘bread and butter’, quick, on-site IT job… here it begins, client specifically noted that I must call her 15 minutes out after demanding on Friday, that I be there Monday to install a new access point/range extender…

So, got my shit together, got into town and made great time too, promptly called my client after refuelling the beast approximatley 15 minutes from location and got the “Oh……shiiiit!!!” response… Oh, yeah… you forgot.

You Forgot. After specifically asking me to be their with one working days notice…. So, one site, network decided to be a cunt and ended up reconfiguring all the secuirty on the primary router to get the range extended to behave… 2hrs, should have been 30 minutes top. So get the bastard working, and working well with minutes before deadline to leave…

Right, done. Off to the patent office to go over the flow charts for the latest app I’ve written for a client…. the heavens just fucking open… in only a way that queenslanders can understand, this was terrential fucking rain. Cuntox!… so I get to just outside the guys office, using my htc as a navigation device ( not recommended ) and the dude calls me…. fuck! There goes my map… “ahh.. yeah, I’m just about there mate…” …

Anyone who has driven through Brisbane understands that there is NO “just go around the block” … So I missed his shop, kept driving… for another 29 minutes to get around the peverbial fucking block, and finally got within 100m of his store again, found a park. Cool done.

Had the meeting with Mike ( Patent Attorney ) who turned out to be a pretty cool dude with a degree in electronic engineering, so we got straight into it and made wicked time, flicked the camera off ( yup, all patent interviews are recorded ) and started talking apps… Turn’s out, ‘ol mate likes my work, actually seem rarther suprised when I told him that this app had been in ‘coding’ for 2 weeks now, so turns out he has a few ideas, wants me to maybe do some work for him… Sweet, no worries… Thought at this point, that I’d through GottaBail over to him and after having a quick look at the site and a brief verbal run-down from me promptly lost his shit, laughed his ass off and told me that it was a ‘brilliant idea’…. ( not new news )… long ramble short, looks like we might be getting an international ( US/AU ) patent for GottaBail via contra… Sweet!

Things were rather good at this point… until I got back to my car. :/

Yup, some *person* had stoved the back quater panel….. devo’d. :(

I can understand how this happened with the rain and all… but, being _that_ neighbourhod, chances are you _had_ insurance on your fucking Prado or whatever, you _could_ have stopped and left a note … but you didn’t. And for that… fuck you. Again, from the bottom of my heart…fuck you.

‘ol mate, the patent attoreny said to me at the start of the interview…. “it’s lonely at the top”… So, is that where I am at ?? Really ?

Like the majority of people around the brisbane area, we have had some fallout from the horrible floods, nothing compared to some people and alot compared to others.

It’s fucked up, no doubt. People have died, people have lost everything they ever worked for, insurance companies wont pay for shit. All of my major clients offices are currently under water and such my business is really going to suffer.

So the water resides and the cockroaches come out… looters, theifs and the scum of the web. No sooner was it labeled a disaster, I started to see domains like ‘brisbanefloods.com’ and other domains, facebook pages and other sorts of shit hit the web with nothing more than the aim to generate traffic/money for themselves.

Wow, how fucking low can you get…

You know, karma is a fickle bitch, you will get your own… and when you scraping the tattered remains of your life into a garbage bag I sincerely hope you remeber what you did to deserve it.

Think about it.

-Mayor.

NOT always…. like 97% of the time, yes…. fuck yes, but not always.

When these situations come to light, and you will know them… but, when they do come to light, understand it for what it is.

JFDI.

It’s not always about the money dickhead.

-Mayor.

First of all, no one reads my blog, well not yet anywayz… I don’t link it to anything and there isn’t a chance in hell someone is going to just happen upon it… So, merry x-mas to all and none.

Just got into a fucking fight @ my local bottle-o, there called a pedestrain crossing for a reason… to let pedestrian cross, it’s simple. If you nearly run some one down in your fucking redneck ute in the middle of a ped-crossing and the pedestrain is obviously pissed off, you don’t retaliate and call me the “cunt”… for fucks sake. To all you rednecks out there I firmly extend my middle finger, fuck you, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you…

On another note, I wouldn’t reccomend you blog or FB about your bottle-o exploits, seems to be social poison…..

What is worse than purchasing a domain that is so closely worded to internet giant with the direct intent on recieving negative attention from their IP lawyers all the while riding the wave of press releases and watching your uniques go through the roof ?

I’ll tell you… receiving the negative attention/notority, purporting yourself as the hard-done-by underdog, changing your name whilst at the height of your so-called popularity and then doing nothing…. sweet fuck all.

Case in Point: Drinkle ( formerly known as Groggle ), we all know that you expected to get the attention you did during the law suit, and what did you do…? Nothing…. You relented, changed your domain name, got more air-time and then what did you do… Nothing.

What a fucking waste of time, what a fucking waste of oppertunity. Given half the oppertunity you had before you I would have made that shit happen, even if it was only half baked, at least there would have been _some_ content, some reason to come back to the site, but you did nothing… so fade away dickhead. BTW, Drinkle, the name, now that _really_ sux.

Cheers & Goodnight…
