Qualified Carpenter Wanted in Melbourne

I am a qualified carpenter (did a 4 year apprenticeship in Brisbane in the early 90’s) but I am NOT looking for work as a carpenter in Melbourne. I am now-a-days building cyber space as opposed to real houses, extensions or doing renovations.

I do like working as a carpenter but at the moment am taking a break from the Victorian building industry to focus on designing and building effective websites for small businesses in Melbourne.

First Baby Steps

Yesterday while we were at a friends birthday party, we had the privilege of watching Priscila take her first steps – 3 steps!

She was playing with balloon when it happened. She dropped the balloon which landed a few steps away and so she moved toward it – walking!

We were all very excited. Maybe Priscila will be taking more steps at her first birthday party this Saturday.

ebay Bidding Helper

At times we have been looking for things to buy from ebay. We tried a few times to win the online auction but always failed. That was until we downloaded and used JBidWatcher.

“This is a Java-based application allowing you to monitor auctions you’re not part of, submit bids, snipe (bid at the last moment), and otherwise track your auction-site experience. It includes adult-auction management, MANY currencies (yen, pound, dollar (US, Canada, Australian, and New Taiwanese), Swiss Francs, and euro, presently), drag-and-drop of auction URLs, a unique and powerful ‘multisniping’ feature, a relatively nice UI, and is known to work cleanly under Linux, Windows, Solaris, and MacOSX from the same binary.”
