Here I am writing this blog post on my iPhone, traveling at 200kph back to London. AND I can receive calls and browse the Internet as well. The Technology Age is full of amazing wonders! I’ve just been to Oxford. As I walked past the computing sciences section today I wondered what they used to teach there before such things were even dreamt of!
Well I wouldn’t call myself at mid-life yet, but I definitely had a crisis. This house has got a few different storage devices at the moment, including a Western Digital MyBook 1TB (it sucks, which I may explain in a future post!), a new Apple Time Capsule, 1TB, as well as a couple of other hard disks floating around.
I decided to reinstall my MacBook Pro the other day because it wouldn’t install the 10.5.3 update properly, and I had also recently installed some software which didn’t remove itself properly and tainted the system. I thought it would be a good opportunity to clean out the cobwebs. I carefully backed up my data however, due to a bug with the Western Digital MyBook which causes it to stop with a “permission denied” error and requires you to reboot it, I was having trouble backing up. The bug is so annoying that you have to carefully check what has been copied and what has not, because the only method for copying you’ve got is Samba.
Anyway the fact of the matter is, I backed up my photos carefully. The Time Capsule wasn’t in use yet, as it was new, and I decided to start doing regular Time Capsule backups AFTER the fresh Leopard install. Anyway, it was over a week ago when I performed this backup and with all the issues and what with having a new Time Capsule and all the issues with the MyBook I couldn’t remember which device I’d ended up backing up to. I was confident it was the Time Capsule because of the broken MyBook but alas, when I went looking for them tonight I couldn’t find them anywhere! After looking everywhere around on my MyBook and the Time Capsule, my heart sank. I couldn’t find my damn photos anywhere and I realised that I may have just lost 10Gb of photos and many, many months worth of snaps. I was so upset when suddenly I remembered my iPod! I had backed them up to my iPod! Oh wow, I was so relieved.
Lesson #1 – BE CAREFUL when you’re doing this kind of thing!
Lesson #2 – Get an Apple Time Capsule or an external hard drive and start using Time Capsule NOW. If you don’t you’ll regret it. We so often forget to back up and disk is cheap. When it comes to things like your photos, the couple of hundred pounds spent on backup disks is worth every penny. Nobody wants to lose their memories!
As Spring is drawing to a close London is beginning to warm up and I’m starting to see a side of it that I didn’t expect. I suppose having arrived in Winter I have not had a chance to see London so warm, colourful and nice. When Lindsay and I arrived the days were short, wet, dark and cold, and now they are long, warm and getting brighter!
It is amazing how quickly the sunrise and sunset can change and for the past couple of months the days have been getting longer and longer, usually by a few minutes each day. Today the sun rose at 5:16AM, last week it was 5:30, and next week it will be rising at 5 o’clock. Sunset is currently 8:39PM! The longest day of the year last year was sunrise at 4:47AM and sunset at 9:21PM!
With all this nice weather one would think that it would be a great opportunity to go out and see some more of London’s night-life, but alas, everything closes at 11PM! Confused? I am! One of the biggest drawbacks about London is that when you go to a pub, you’re often booted out before midnight. If you travel, you have to contend with the tube, which closes often around 1AM as well. So what are people supposed to do late at night if they want to make a night of it? I’m not sure! Go into the inner city and go to a few late bars and night clubs I suppose, but you’re not always in the mood for that kind of night, and you don’t always want to wait until the first tubes start running again. There are always 24 hour night buses but they are not always as easy as the train.
Boris Johnson, the new Mayor of London has instigated a ban of drinking alcohol on the tube and bus network effective June 1st. I’m glad I’ve had at least one beer on a train, and boy did it feel weird having come from Adelaide where it’s always been disallowed. Oddly enough, the rail staff are complaining that they will have to be the ones to enforce the regulations, and they are not happy!
Any travel plans? Well, Lindsay and I will be going to Berlin in a couple of weeks and that should be great. We know Justine who lives there (Hi Jus!) and she’ll be our guide, which is always awesome because you get to go to all the places you never would have seen before. Now that Lindsay and I have been to Paris once, if we go back we will probably go to different places to see different things, now that we’ve got all that main tourist stuff out of the way!
Here are a few snaps from a recent trip to Brighton:

I’d hardly call it a beach, considering the whole beach front is made up of pebbles!
Don’t forget, there are many more photos here!
Work is keeping me very busy and I have learned so much about the company in the past three weeks. I’ve asserted myself as Team Leader moreso and am settling in now. It’s tiring work and the days are longer than I’m used to (think 50 minute commute, working 9-6 with a one hour lunch break, and then another 50 minute commute) but I’m happy to be working. Lindsay’s got it easy, working 9:30-5:30 means he leaves for work after I do and arrives home before me! Gah! We may look at moving soon, either somewhere closer to each of our workplaces and Lindsay has suggested perhaps even moving to Brighton, which is quite some distance, but the rail system is faster so the commute is not too much longer. Time will tell and we will see what’s around!
What else is there that I should cover before I go? I’m not sure, but if I think of it, I’ll let you know!
I have neglected my blog. I’ve thought about it often, and thought about how I should post but I’ve either been very busy, been traveling or tied up looking for work, which really drains you. I am happy to report that I have landed a position as a Team Leader looking after a systems support group within an eCommerce company, and I am really looking forward to starting on Wednesday. It’s going to be quite scary at first, moving into a brand new place with brand new faces, practices and products! I’m feeling fairly ambivalent about the whole thing, but that will wear off after a while. Hopefully the staff are welcoming.
I think the biggest challenge is moving into new territory as the “new boss” and having to gain a respect from your peers. The people working in this team have been working together already, and know the company better than I do. It will take some time but I intend to get to know everything as quickly as I can.
And, wow! In the mean time so much else has happened. Lindsay and I went to Paris, I visited Oxford with Justin, Col, Nick, and Amy (unfortunately Lindsay couldn’t get out of work) and it snowed. Yes, it snowed in London! Nick arrived, Justin left, and Ash visited.
Instead of linking in so many photos, here are some links to some previous galleries on Flickr!

I will endeavour to write more frequently, I promise 
If you weren’t aware already, the episodes of the original ‘Star Trek’ series are being digitally remastered and enhanced, with new CGI special effects and things like that. They’re not going overboard like George Lucas, but they’re bringing the show into the 2000′s by updating it.
I haven’t really been keeping up with this but run into stories about it from time to time when a newly remastered episode comes out. This weekend they are airing the remastered ‘By Any Other Name‘.
Due to budget constraints on Star Trek they could only ever put together a couple of sound stages for any beam down to a planet and the rest had to be done by transposing the filmed image onto a matte painting to give some idea of the scale of the area. In this episode they have taken a scene where the crew beamed down to the planet, shrunk it, and neatly embedded it in a brand new and brilliant looking matte painting. Here’s a comparison:
The original beam-down sequence (click the images for a larger version):
The enhanced version:
The crew materialised on the planet’s surface, giving you a much more imaginative idea of the planet’s surface. Sure, in the original series’ time you would have stretched your mind and imagined what else was out there, but because many sound stage settings were so similar you ended up with no sense of identity of any one planet to the next. I think this is great, because it gives this planet it’s very own identity and when you see the crew materialise and look around them, now you know exactly what they’re seeing before their eyes.
I must say these remastered episodes are getting better each time!
One clever blogger has done just that. The goal is to remove Garfield from the ‘Garfield’ comic strip, leaving Jon Arbuckle looking like a deranged lunatic. It works! Here are a couple to get you started. Click one of the links below to head on over for more.
As Lindsay and I have not been able to do anything really touristy around London lately, we thought it would be a good idea to head down to Windsor and visit Windsor Castle. We were going to aim for the 11:00 train and it’s a good thing we didn’t, as it was delayed for over an hour due to a signaling fault further up the track! We arrived at Windsor at about 1:30PM.
As soon as you exit the train station you walk out and are faced with the castle, which sits atop a hill overlooking the town of Windsor. From down in the town centre you can see it from almost everywhere. It’s a very large castle, much larger than Buckingham Palace by the looks of things. The main street heading towards the castle wraps around its outside edge, so as you approach the visitors gate you are walking around the edge of one of the castle buildings. As we climbed the hill we discovered what we feared the most — a huge lineup.
We joined at the end of the queue and eventually made it through to the front doors of the visitor’s entrance. When we finally got the chance to see the ticket counter, we realised we were really only half way done queueing, as there were huge queues inside the ticket counter, and at least 8 ticket counters open. At around £15 per adult on the door, they must make an absolute fortune. We had purchased our tickets at a discounted rate of about £10 through the Great Southern Rail offer. We still had to queue 
We finally entered the grounds and you are offered an audio tour. It’s a device that you carry with you and hold up to your ear so that you can listen to the guided tour. In each of the rooms there is a small transmitter broadcasting information. I found the device very annoying so chose not to use it. Wherever we went throughout the castle, there were people walking around with these things pressed up against their heads. Weird. I might have missed out on some of the facts because we chose not to use them but instead we were able to look around for ourselves with our eyes.
The public are granted entry to a very limited area around the back side of the castle grounds and the “State Apartments” block. You can’t go anywhere near the actual internal residency of the castle nor can you enter the courtyard in the centre of the castle grounds. While disappointing, you can understand why. After all, this is a residency, not a museum.

Photography, mobile phones, prams and dogs are all banned inside the estate apartments and the guide staff are very quick to pounce on people breaking the rules. On the occasion that someone’s mobile phone will go off, they’ll prick up their ears to localise it and immediately try and silence the offender.
During visitor mode, the State Apartments are set up with rope barriers in every room, encouraging the public to follow a single loop around the castle. At one stage we walked through a large dining hall, and on the other side of the room you could see people walking in the opposite direction. It took us about half an hour to get around to the opposite side of that room, and it gives you some idea of the scale of the place!!
If you’ve ever watched any of the documentaries about Windsor Castle you’ll know what to expect when you go in, and that is some rather elaborate rooms, all extremely clean and well kept with that “royal” feel about them. Most rooms contain nothing more than some furniture (mostly “acquired by Queen Victoria”) and most of the furniture is carved wood with a felt-style material. Most of the walls are wall-papered with a textured red fabric. Some rooms have what look like “secret” doors, which go who knows where, and they are rectangles of the wall with hinges and handles, so they blend in with the wall rather than being actual doors.
Each room in the Estate Apartments was set up with a specific purpose in mind, yet they all look rather similar. There are several drawing rooms, in which the centre piece is a large desk. One bedroom is shown with a dressing room and a closet however, the dressing room and closet are just rooms with chairs in them, as these are just for show.
According to one of the human guides we chatted to, when the apartments are used for estate functions, the rooms are reconfigured for the purpose. Undoing “visitor mode” means removing all the roped barriers and any signage, replacing the walkway carpet with a much better carpet, removing all the protective plastic barriers and so on that surround the doors and some walls (to stop visitors touching/damaging things) and reconfiguring any furniture as required.
Most of the rooms have a hand-painted 17th Century baroque ceiling, and those that don’t have a fairly elaborate ceiling, usually with a large chandelier hanging from the centre. Of the rooms you are allowed to tour through, there is Queen Mary’s Doll House which is a dimly lit room (preserving the centre feature) with a large doll-house of the castle in the centre of the room. It contains many rooms and miniature furniture and trees/shrubbery. Without the audio tour I couldn’t tell you very much more about it but I’m sure you can look it up on the web
Following that, a China room containing a large collection of elaborate china dinner sets from the 17th century onwards. Each set is probably around 50 pieces and most of them are fairly ugly, although you can appreciate their historic value. Many of them are used for actual functions and this is clearly visible by the chips and breakages on some of the pieces. Again, according to the tour guide there is a large rubber sink installed elsewhere in the castle which is used to clean these pieces, very, very carefully!
Beyond these rooms you enter into the rest of the castle. The first area appeared to be a weapons display, with suits of armour hundreds of years old, hundreds of pistols and rifles from every era, swords and other weapons all on display. Glancing around you and looking in the glass cabinets, you are looking at an evolution of flint weaponry and guns. Look up and there is more, as the ceilings are all at least two stories high, walls laiden with more and more displays.
Beyond this room are dining halls, the crimson room and the turquoise(?) room, the apartment areas I mentioned earlier (drawing room, bedroom) a hallway and chapel. I managed to take a few photographs but because of the amount of people and staff around the place it was very difficult to get any good snaps. With respect to the castle I won’t post these on Flickr so unfortunately they won’t appear in this blog. You’ll have to go and visit for yourself
Our day ended with a trip to the gift shop, where I asked if the Queen ever comes through. “No,” was the answer, “Maybe once a year.”
Lindsay bought me a Windsor Castle scotch glass, and I bought Lindsay some Windsor Castle fudge.

Web browsing is something most web users do very, very often. The Internet is an immense tool full of all sorts of data, instantly available at your fingertips. I frequently use websites such as Wikipedia, YouTube, Flickr, Google, Discogs and more, all to quickly search for images, videos and information. It’s slow and cumbersome to have to load up each of these websites in order to just perform a search, so the best way to improve your overall web experience is to treat your web browser more like a search tool.
Firefox and Opera both have a built-in feature in which you can use keyword shortcuts to quickly search specific websites for information. When I was working for an ISP in Australia I found this extremely useful, not only just for searching for information on the web, but also for quickly searching for things on our Intranet and various in-house troubleshooting tools. In a moment’s notice I could have whatever information I needed up on screen without having to navigate to the Intranet, click on the tool, enter the information, submit and wait for the results. With one keyword I could have instant access to the results.
Consider a tool as powerful as Wikipedia, where you can search for just about anything or anyone and be presented with (mostly!) accurate information about that item. If you wanted to look up steganography for instance, most web users would do something like:
1. Click on the Wikipedia Bookmark
2. Wait for it to load
3. Use mouse to navigate to the Search box
4. Enter the word ‘steganography’ into the search box
5. Click search or hit enter
Consider that with steps 1-4, you don’t really want to visit the Wikipedia front page; you only want to use its search features but in order to use them you had to visit the Wikipedia page first. It’s cumbersome, slow and annoying!
Imagine if you could access those websites with the following sequence instead:
1. Hit -L (to get to the location bar)
2. Type ‘wp steganography’
3. Hit enter.
You avoid having to go through the website’s front door and can go in straight to the results you want. It saves you so much time and you can use it on any website with a search box. You also don’t have to use any mouse clicks!
In order to take advantage of this on Safari, you need a plugin called Keywurl. It’s a bit irritating to install but once it’s done it will work like a charm.
To install and set up, do the following:
A: Download and install Keywurl
1. Download Keywurl
2. Open up the contents of the DMG file in Finder
3. Double-click the SIMBL package and follow the instructions to install
B: Create the Plugins Directory manually
4. Load up a new Finder window (press -n)
5. Navigate to: HOME/Library/Application Support
6. Create a new directory called ‘SIMBL‘ and navigate into it
7. Create a new directory (beneath SIMBL) called Plugins
C: Copy the Keywurl Plugin
8. Go to your Finder window containing the Keywurl files
9. Go into either the Leopard or Tiger directory, depending on which release of OS X you’re running.
10. Drag the Keywurl.bundle file into the SIMBL/Plugins directory you just created
11. Restart Safari and launch it
If you check your Safari preferences, Keywurl should now be installed!
Keywurl comes with a set of default keyword searches which you can add/modify/delete at your leisure. Try one out. Go to a Safari window’s location bar and type ‘imdb Jumper’ and it should take you to the IMDB.com results page for the search ‘Jumper’. It will work with multiple words of course, such as ‘imdb The Brady Bunch’.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It’s pretty easy. If you do a Google search, you might notice that your URL will always look something like this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Safari&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
The part after q= is the interesting bit, because that’s what we’ve searched for. If you look at almost any other search results you will see something similar. All you need to do is create a new Keyword URL in the Keywurl preferences, give it a shortcut name, put in the URL just like the one above and then replace the keyword “Safari” with “@@@” which is what tells the script where to put the search string. In keywurl your Google search URL would look like this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=@@@&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
You add these searches into Keywurl in Safari’s preferences, and the searches are stored in a file called Home/Library/Application Support/Keywurl/Keywords.plist so be sure to back that up.
Personally, I have shortened keywords and have added some more of my own. Here’s a list of the ones I use:
amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dblended%26field-keywords%3D@@@
asx http://finance.google.com/finance?q=ASX:@@@

wp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=@@@&go=Go
yt http://youtube.com/results?search_query=@@@
You can download my file and copy it if you wish.
To add one, just search for something on a website and copy the URL to the clipboard. Go into Keywurl and click the + button, type the keyword, press tab, and paste the URL. Replace the keyword you searched for with ‘@@@’. Make sure that if you’ve searched for something with two words, it will get replaced with ‘coca+cola’ or ‘coca%20cola’. You will need to replace that entire string with ‘@@@’.
GOTCHA’S
Watch out for some clever sites like Wikipedia which will always take you to the results page if there is only one hit. Search for something like ‘Japan’ in Wikipedia and you’ll be taken straight to the page on Japan. To find the URL, the trick is to search for something that it most likely won’t match and it will send you to a results page. Here you can grab that special URL. An example on Wikipedia is searching for something like ‘gadeo‘ which is a word I made up and so no page should exist.
TRICKS
Some sites don’t have their own search engines, so consider using Google to search them instead. For epguides.com for instance, go to Google and search for “site:epguides.com Frasier”. The URL you get is:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Aepguides.com+Frasier&btnG=Search&meta=
The magic for turning that into an “I’m Feeling Lucky” search is to add ‘&btnI=745′ to the end of the query, turning it into:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=site%3Aepguides.com+Frasier&btnG=Search&meta=&btnI=745
Have fun! Please remember to post your comments below about your experience with Keywurl, as well as any useful website you’ve made search shortcuts for!
Where’s the cheese?
I hope everyone remembers this guy. Recently there was a YouTube video that surfaced and got a lot of publicity. Usually one would post a blog entry about something like that as soon as they discovered it, but at the time I really didn’t think it was a huge deal, even if it was bloody funny, and very Australian!
I’ve searched for Peter on the web before and there is very little on him, so I thought it would be up to me to put together as much information as I can collate.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

COME AND GET IT
During the 1980s, Peter hosted a short 5-minute cooking show on ABC Television which ran for many years. He had a very memorable theme tune which many people remember.
Lyrics:
Come and get it, come and get it.
With Peter Russell-Clarke
In the city, or the outback
He’s Australia’s brightest spark.
Come and get it, come an get it,
Good food you’ll love to eat,
Come and get, it come and get it,
And there’s people you can meet.
Come and get it, come and get it,
With Peter Russell-Clarke,
Hell help your cooking, you can bet it,
If we’re a tree he’d be the bark
Feed your eagle, pack a hamper
Walk you beagle, jump the Tampa,
On a farm or out at sea,
Learn a recipe or three,
Come and get it, come and get it,
With Peter (g’day),
Russell (g’day)
Clarke!
Here’s an episode you can watch:
OUTTAKES
The following clip was recently released to the web. It’s an in-house blooper reel combined together into what television stations usually produce as a ‘Christmas Reel’. Strong language, be warned. But hellishly funny
ADVERTISEMENTS
In his hype, Peter was very well known for his Coon cheese campaign, with the catch phrase “Where’s the cheese?”, and ran several ads for Australian eggs. Here are a few highlights:

As a child of the 1980′s I grew up with Astro Boy. The 80′s animated version that I used to watch is actually the second animated version of Astro Boy. Before animation, Astro Boy was originally released as a cartoon comic in the 1950′s which ran all the way through to the 1980s:
Here are some excerpts from within the first comic:
|

|
During the 50s and before any animated series was even conceived, a live-action feature-length film was developed. This is really incredible to see, as the first minute and a half were animated and the rest of the film is actually filmed with human actors.
Here’s a clip showing a few bits and pieces of the live-action sequences from the series:
Here is a link to Part One, from the beginning (this clip is lengthy and really poor quality but is interesting as it shows the animated intro leading into the filmed movie.)
Astro Boy was adapted for Japanese television in the 60′s and a black and white animated series was developed. The series intro from the Japanese version in the 1960′s depicts Astro Boy flying around town, waving at a plane, tunneling through the Earth and generally having a cool time. Here’s the clip for the Japanese intro:
The US version is very different. We start seeing the version of Astro Boy most people would be familiar with: helping the good and fighting the evil and generally saving the day. The theme tune is similiar to the Japanese version although probably has very different lyrics given the different animation. Coupled with this new theme, this version has a classic 60′s retroness about it but starts to feel like Astro Boy as we know it.
Let’s take a look at that 1980′s US intro that we’re all so familiar with. The theme gets a little more funked up and the lyrics have changed, and these are the ones most people I know would be able to sing along to. Like before, the intro shows Astro Boy fighting the bad and helping and defending the good, and I think this version is a little more personable than the original versions.
During the 80′s there wasn’t much difference with the Japanese version, except that their version has slight techno beat which is present throughout the tune that isn’t there in the English version. This is about it; there really isn’t much else that is different between the two. Unfortunately I don’t know if the lyrics translate differently. If you watch them in sync, the animation is identical although you can hear that the themes are ever so slightly off between the two.
In 1999 there was talk of an Astro Boy feature film, an idea which was shelved due to other projects.
In 2003, Astro Boy was released once again as an animated series however, this time there was all new animation and of course, a new theme. The animation was specifically done so that they wouldn’t loose the original look of the characters, but were able to enhance the animation sequences and effects using modern manga-type techniques (super speedy blurry backgrounds that shoot past, and that type of thing.) I have not personally seen the series itself and I don’t know how different, or, modernised, the 2003 version of Astro Boy has become.
The Japanese version and the US version have exactly the same cartoon background with some very major differences! The Japanese version contains a theme tune (I can’t translate it) and it seems like the right way to evolutionise the theme following the current trend.
Just what have they done with the US version? No lyrics, a techno/rock theme that makes you feel like you’re playing a game of Burnout instead of watching a cartoon series. There’s a more intense, less personal feel about the whole thing. Give me the 80′s version any day.
In 2009 there will be an animated/CGI version of Astro Boy coming out as a feature film. This was picked up from 10 year prior when it was originally discussed. As yet it is in pre-production and hasn’t even got any cast or director (announced, anyway) and the only thing that has really cropped up about it so far is some concept art, so perhaps this is what Astro Boy will become…
And who knows what from there…
