US FC

Well,

I did decide to do a rant after all. Basically The media is hyping the financial crisis far more than it should. I want to know who benefits we saw a rally of up to 17% today on mining stocks. This is probably a rally to get a good price for some sales.

So who is benefiting? Well I think that as always some smart people are, I think there are bargains out there.

The media puts such a negative spin on it but in reality its the little people who got pwned, in AU its the super funds. I think the government sold people on the idea that its safe but its not nothing is safe.

I love the fact our dollar is so low, it makes Australia competitive. We have a trade surplus this quarter wonderful! Sure we have already seen cuts in finance and advertising Ebay sacked several of their media staff but hey why advertise in a recession.

So the beneficiary of this recession are some of those rich bastards who have real money, a tone of tech is going to be up for grabs and I would start looking now.

Real estate is going to be recovering, we see some major initiatives like houses for low income earners I'm sure someone has their sticky fingers in that sticky pie.

So I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and they don't max our their credit because its still bumpy but the sky is not falling, just being held up by some really dody bamboo.

Don't need to rant

Well,

I have been ranting a bit but not much this year, maybe I'm getting old. Also I have been concentrating on gaming so I'm genuinely happier.

I learned Ruby on Rails, and I must say its pretty good its a toss up between Python and Django and Ruby on Rails for me.

Anyway, I have new blog nidsonaplane which is going to be holding some 40k stuff.

AMEX is the worst

I thought Telstra was bad a company with poor customer service, rip-off tactics and un-innovative products for users.

Now my new nemesis has arisen from the black pits of hell to ruin Christmas. American Express has always been a bit shoddy on the customer service end. Now they have managed to screw up my Christmas hat off to them they get the Grinch award. It all started with them failing to cancel the old card, then I paid money into the account only to discover that although the card was canceled payments were still going there. I called customer service to remedy the situation but they woman said that the only thing they could do was transfer the money which would take 3 working days. 3 working days! If money takes that long to transfer for them there must be something going on after all they have all the money! It’s just bits in a computer that’s the worst case of Asynchronous updates in the world! Those bits must be bundled in cotton wool shipped by Amazon and then opened and lovingly filed. Maybe this company should get Google to build them a computer system that works in SECONDS. Merry Christmas AMEX I hope you all burn in your own Credit Hell.

Uncle Bush and little John

I’m really looking forward to the visit from Uncle Bush’s visit we Sydney residents get the day off. Awesome! A whole day so that the big Dick Cheeze of the world can waddle up and shake the hands of some of our Asian neighbors. Hope he doesn’t raise and incident like our wonderful PM Little John, I hope it all goes well and we don’t end up isolated, alone and the butt of everyone’s jokes.

My plans, I’m going to blow stuff up, plying CS and BF all day, maybe some DOW and COH. My mates are coming around too going have hot dogs! Celebrate our American heritage err I mean WTF they really snuck that up on us. All we need is to have some other day and get some other dick head to come down here and show us how to be insulting, arrogant and condescending.

Facebook GOOD Myspace BAD

Facebook is friggen awesome, I have found people who I forgot about it brings back memories. I love the mini feeds features. The plug-in framework rocks my socks.

Major differences, if you are using Myspace, sure you may need to add contacts and stuff, but its way easier to manage and its not stale. My space is about this is what I create Facebook is about what you are defined through others. Its really great, its not your perception of yourself its others as well. Myspace is cluttered, the pages of most people are really ugly. I think anyone should at least give Facebook a go.

Plans

My plan is to create my own venture capital company. A company that has some technical skill and forethought (BUT don't Americans have that) NO wrong AMERCANS are all GAY, they have no concept of doing anything beyond 7 years. FUCK THEM, if anyone is interested let me know. I'm on facebook and linkedin.

Goal:
Power generation is the field of study that deserves attention. Specifically sources of energy based on hydrogen. Solar panels are really only good for small scale power generation. We need a bigger BOAT.

I want work with someone who is working on Fusion reactors and understand the technology better. I think its complete conceivable in my lifetime that the ITER project will succeed and create a self sustaining reaction.

But wait you say, isn’t the sun a big reactor?
YES but its far away and you still lose energy in the conversion, SOLAR is GAY, wake up and smell the melting quartz.
