Okay
Now I’m pissed off.
So, I go to make my payment and the Optus account portal craps out twice during the payment process,
What happens? I get a blank page with the loading icon for several minutes.
So, I try again, and again, third time lucky, then I discover I’ve paid both bill three times.
So, then I try to do an online feedback to get my money refunded and after filling in my details and describing the whole process, I get this:
I mean, seriously. WTF? Does Optus specifically aim to frustrate and confuse its customers?
This is on top of the 3 day 3G outage that Optus had in North Sydney last week.

.. of “This ain’t your Dad’s Java”
I found the passion and information content about the direction of Java very, very encouraging.
JavaFX release is on December 2. Looking forward to taking the final release for a spin!

After watching alot of kids TV over the last few months, I have a few things I wonder about
- Where is Harry’s Dad in “Harry and his bucket full of Dinosaurs?”
- Why is the Island of Sodor in “Thomas the Tank Engine” so dangerous with such poorly maintained railways?
- Why in “Lazytown” does a 30+ year old man (called Sporticus) hover over the town watching the kids?
- Does Shadow in “Bear in the Big Blue House” suffer from some form of manic mental illness?
- Why is Dora the Explorer so dumb?
- Why is ‘Big Plane’, the villain in “Little Einsteins” obviously a Soviet era SU-27 Flanker?

Things you notice when you are home sick and watching Fox News and Sean Hannity, here are some tips I picked up from him:
1. Interrupt your opponent before they can complete their statement.
2. Use the interruption to redirect the conversation if its not going your way.
3. Use facts that are are correct, but only from a certain point of view, i.e. unemployment over a ‘three year average’ as opposed to the last 6 months.
4. Don’t be overt in your insults, but use your tone to get your point across, when your opponent responds in frustration, use that against them to knock down their point.
5. Avoid the entire context of a conversation, repeat the point that supports your view, allude to ‘other facts’ (google McCarthy for more details).
6. Accuse the other party of bias.
7. Speak loudly all the time.

You need to follow the YourKit instructions for making sure the the appropriate extensions are in your operating systems path
Then you need to run your Eclipse RCP application with the following command line
YourRCPApplication.exe -vmargs -agentlib:yjpagent -Xmx1024M -Xms32M
If it flickers up and disappears again in a split second then you’ve either mucked up the command line or the agent extension can’t be found.
Test the sanity of your jre by running
java -agentlib:yjpagent
You should get this output:
E:\temp>java -agentlib:yjpagent

Installed Netbeans 6.5 RC1 and Groovy 1.0.3 and trying to use the create Groovy project wizard and nothing happens (no project is created and Netbeans gives no feedback)
You need to add executable permissions on your Groovy installation as they are lost during the unzipping process and Netbeans doesn’t notice:
cd $GROOVY_HOME/bin
chmod +x *
Then you should get something happening when you trying to create the project.

- iTunes
- Microsoft Messenger
- iPhoto
- Terminal
- Microsoft Word
- Firefox
- Jasper iReport (Netbeans)
- iChat
- iCal

And my machine is still responsive, quick and without lag when moving between applications.
You gotta love that.
