[updated about an hour later]Unlike a certain long running animated TV-series, I successfully caught my 500th post.But it is a sad post. This episode, instead of being a greatest hits, is called:Blogger Beta sucks ass (U: Still the case - but specific login problem worked around)For several reasons, not the least of which are the limits inherent Blogger and blogging- This weblog is now dead -

Looks just like the old blogger. How is this not v 1.4 or something?anyhow, next post is something special - and because of that it may be a little while - as I have a lot on my plate in the next few weeks. I'm sorry internet, I may have to ignore you a while.

In an effort to screw with Blogger alpha for as long as I can, I'm not changing any more settings here, and I'm just posting instead. Call me a rebel, or something. Also, sadly, someone has decided to post poorly written pornography spam in my comments section, so for a while, we're going with password verified blogger accounts only for posting. I want to believe it's a spambot, but I don't.

Well, the interview went swimmingly, and in the process of contacting an old reference I scared up some nice freelance work. Yay me. So, it looks as though I'll be doing the Same Old Consulting Job (Mk. IV), except with more travel and for a couple grand more than at the job I was just fired from.

I hate these things, I always forget what I even wanted to ask about, I never ask for enough $ (this one I will change this time), and I'm nowhere near as good at reading people under those circumstances as I am normally. That said, despite a (very) mild stutter, I interview real good. I have a track record of being offered work. So fellow argonauts, wish me luck. It's time to end winter vacation

Senator Obama waded into a major foreign policy row just one day after formally announcing his candidacy, telling Mr Howard he should dispatch 20,000 Australians to Iraq if he wanted to back up his comments."I think it's flattering that one of George Bush's allies on the other side of the world started attacking me the day after I announced [my candidacy]," Senator Obama said."I would also note
