Mobs of Kangaroos
We went camping to Pebbly Beach this weekend, which is located in the Murramarang National Park about 4 hrs south of Sydney. Amazing beaches, rock platforms, gum forests, rainforest gullies and loads of kangaroos just lounging about in the hot hot sun. Thunder storms too, the first night there was an almighty one - lightning every 5 seconds and thunder which literally made the ground shake. Lying in a tiny tent, it was a quite an experience!
Click on the pic below to check out the weekend!
Not much other news though - managed to facture my arm last thursday; i was cycling down oxford st. and someone opened their car door without looking. I hit the doot at full pelt and ended up in the middle of the road with a VERY sore elbow! Broke the sunglasses i'd brought earlier that day too :-(
Have officially finished with Avanade, i am now on holiday until January 9th when I start contracting with Colonial First State. Not an easy decision, but the IT market is very good in Sydney at moment, and it is the ideal time to go contracting.
Going on holiday to Jervis bay for Xmas with a load of friends, then the Opera bar for New Years eve. Should have a great view from there.

Make google more interesting
Recently discovered a technique to craft google search queries inorder that they list the contents of unprotected directories on the internet. This allows you to directly access any music files, videos, pics etc.
An unprotected web directory is one that does not have an “index” file created for it, i.e "index.htm" or "index.html" or some other file type. If you try to access a non-password controlled directory that does not have an index file, the system will build a listing of files that are within the directory. If you get that, you can then access the files/folders directly.
So, need to construct a Google search query that searches for and recognizes these system built directory pages.
For starters, here is a google query that will give you a search results page of unprotected directories:
But, this is very vague - too many unknown program files, text files, web pages etc. To filter it down, you can look for something in the name of a file in the list, or by the file type, or both.
For example, this query tries to find any types of files about Jennifer Lopez. Within the directories you can see music, image and movie files.
To search any movie files (.wmv or.avi or .mpg):
or music files (.mp3 or .wma):
or images in (.jpg or .gif):
You can get more specific by specifying both the file types and a search word to hopefully find in the name. For example, the following query looks for the infamous Paris Hilton video tape:
Or, you can even take a guess at the file name someone might call it:
Make using google alot more interesting and I've found some well weird stuff up on the net!

Old Jokes Home
Brian, the world's leading expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make, is taking a stroll down his local high street. As he passes by the record shop, a sign catches his eye. "Just Released - New LP - Wasps of the World & the sounds that they make - available now"
Unable to resist the temptation, Brian goes into the shop. "I am the world's leading
expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make. I'd very much like to listen to the new LP you have advertised in the window."
"Certainly, Sir," says the young man behind the counter. "If you'd like to step into
the booth and put on the headphones, I'll put the LP on for you."
Brian, the world's leading expert on European wasps, goes into the booth and puts on the earphones. Ten minutes later, he comes out of the booth and announces, "I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I recognised none of those."
"I'm sorry Sir", says the young assistant. "If you'd care to step into the booth, I can let you have another 10 minutes."
Brian, the world's leading expert on European wasps and the sounds they make, steps back into the booth and replaces the headphones. Ten minutes later, he comes out of the booth shaking his head. "I don't understand it", he says, "I am the worlds leading expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make, and yet I still can't recognise any of those!"
"I really am terribly sorry", says the young assistant...
"I've just realised I was playing you the bee side!"

Parklife
Haven't updated this in awhile as i've been busy learning to use crutches. Broke my tibial pleateau playing football very unskillfully last week so...
Moving apartments again this week is going to be a hassle; it has been a total nightmare to sort out so far. It will be the 8th place i've lived in Sydney.
Went to Parklife festival yesterday. Despite having to hobble around everywhere, it was a fun day out and good to see everyone again
Check out these quarters from hell. Impressive.

Ironnutters
I was just wondering what there is to do after a marathon - and came across the ironmanoz website. The course details are a 3.8km sea swim, followed by a short 180km cycle, followed by a 42km run round the block for good measure. You'd have to be superman to even think about doing that. But even more staggering is the course record for all that; a mind-bogglingly fast 8hrs 6 mins..
