Great Aussie Product

World Class Paint
The ecolour technology is an Australian invention that turns recycled and re-refined waste engine oil into a water based paint.
Australia collects and recycles over 300 million litres of waste oil annually, 80% of which is currently used as a dirty burner fuel producing high carbon emissions. The oil acts as a preservative and provides durability, superior coverage and smooth application qualities to the paint.
ecolour is committed to making a real and positive change to the environment and our sustainable paint solutions are leading the way for a brighter future.

Radical new idea! Mathematicians please apply within.

OK so I had one of those moments of divine inspiration recently when I was contemplating pheremones, chemical trails, scent and perfume. It deals with the problems of workflow, finding businesses and products, advertising and noise in the marketplace. It could spell the death of SEO, advertising, and possibly geo-political borders in business.

I’m not going to divulge too much here but suffice to say I wholeheartedly believe this concept could literally change the world. If you are a keen mathematician, networking technician our programmer with a solid understanding of IPv6 then I really need to talk to you. I’m also seeking programmers with experience in compression algorithms, XML, PKI and SSL.

I will be releasing a whitepaper soon. If you’d like to discuss this idea please contact tony@sensestudios.com and I’ll add you to the discussion group.

An eventful day thanks to gas leak in Maryborough CBD

Well that was an interesting start to the day. After a strong smell of gas, a hissing sound coming from a broken pipe in the vacant land behind our shop in Bazaar Street, the neighbour and myself were standing in the carpark trying to decide what we should do when a couple of blokes drive past and light up a cigarette. Well, decision made. Rang 000. They came down and started spraying foam on the pipe. The owner of the land then showed up asking who was responsible for calling the Fire Dept. I said I was, to which he replied… “Bit of overkill isn’t it?”

My God! If a gas leak and naked flames don’t constitute an emergency, what does?

Apple’s response to faulty Snow Leopard disks

“Apple Support is arranging for pickup on Monday and have indicated that my replacement disc will only be shipped 1 to 2 days after receiving the returned item. So that puts Snow Leopard on my MacBook on Thursday at the earliest.”

Apple’s response to this issue seems to vary from… “you must’ve scratched the disc, we won’t be issuing a replacement” to “Sure, here, take this one” Personally I’ve been told to expect a wait of 2-3 days before the replacement disc is shipped.

Even Apple’s Support Forum presents different takes depending on who you talk to.
