Yahoo’s spam filter sucks!

I’m getting so pissed off with how useless Yahoo’s spam filter is.  Oh, and I won’t even consider adding an exclamation mark every time I write Yahoo – fucking wankers.  I have both Gmail and Yahoo email accounts and the difference between their spam filters is staggering.
Gmail hardly lets any spam through but every day [...]

Back in the job market

I’m testing the waters in the job market again.  I won’t be starting another contract until at least December but I’ll probably need to start lining up interviews soon.  I checked the main job website and the market looks healthy.  It seems as though about 60 contract positions for my line of work are being [...]

When private and public meet

I had a funny experience today.  The upcoming YouTube gathering coincides with the Melbourne World AIDS Day Concert hosted by the Burnet Institute.  Both events will be at Federation Square on November 1st.  Given the global nature of YouTube and the global nature of World AIDS Day seem like a perfect fit, I’m working with [...]

My brain won’t switch off

So at about 2.30am I realised I wasn’t going to sleep and I should stop wasting time in bed.  I’d be much better served getting up and wasting time on the computer.  My brain was going over and over details about the As One gathering for YouTubers in Melbourne.  I kept thinking of all the [...]

Stalkers, take note

I received confirmation of my travel plans for going to LA next week.  I’m flying in to LA on Monday November 12th and doing the shooting for the TV show on the 13th.  They’ve got me staying at a place called the Montrose Suite Hotel in West Hollywood.  I had a look at their website [...]

It runs in the family

People often ask me if my angry behaviour has any effect on my kids.  Allow me to present Exhibit A:

Pointless Interview Questions

The job market is a fun place. Well, it’s fun for me at the moment, mostly because I’m in no rush to start another contract.  This makes me very relaxed during interviews which tends to result in me coming across better.  It also frees me up to decide I don’t want a particular job.  I’m [...]
