Facebook XMMP - Don't you think its time for Facebook IM?

You gotta admit if you are a regular facebooker that if you've ever
tried to chat with someone its reliability is flaky at best.This got
me thinking facebook already have a jump start on the instant
messaging game.

Yes google have tried it and had moderate success, but I think its
time facebook got officially in the im game. Something that can be
taken off facebook with some facebook integration, and yes I know
there are 3rd party apps which bridges that gap but its still hitching
off facebooks flaky chat api.

With facebook connect making great inroads last year facebook is
becoming a part of our life just like IM. Now its time the bring them
both together in an open manner something portable and open like XMMP.

Wouldn't hurt to borrow some ideas from google wave and really take
socialising the web to the next level.

Maybe they want drugs - The Knights Who Say YAY!

  
(download)

Do you get anyone that says annoying words?

Well maybe this is one of them.

Let them know exactly what they are asking for.

And personally I don't know if one who can't spell a word as simple as
that correctly should be involved in print media at any level.

YAY!

HAHA

For a bit of fun: I'm not drunk

  
(download)

I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but when I slow down my
voice but keep the pitch the same, it sounds like i'm drunk.

I just doubled the time in audition. And here is the end result.

I did speak correctly when I recorded the dry voice over. :)

Community Radio - Unproductive members

And of course all stations want productive volunteers but there are
occasions where there will be members that go against the best
interests of the station. If the volunteer responds to rational its
not a problem, however its not always the case. I think one needs to
give them some time away, suspend their membership if they continue to
be a problem revoke their membership. If they progress even further
than that the next step would to seek legal advice and proceed down
that road for the most extreme cases.

I mean I'm sure a lot of stations have problems getting members and
volunteers, I think you need to cut the dead wood and make it a stress
free environment as possible, time wasters, people that would rather
complain with frivolous complaints that lack accurate factual details
just waste time.

I'd like to know stories where other community stations have had this
sort of problem and how they have managed to overcome it.

Is there a point where you have had to tell a member they could no
longer be involved ?

Poetry 3 - The ever cheery geek

I repeat my statement to you at nauseum
But you never listen
I proclaim the wonders of modern functions
But you live in the past

I smirk when I get my way
I cry out in pain when I don't
The endless see of troubled times
Still lingers when you are gone

Caught in mid air
like a drop of rain falling to earth
Who's fate is sealed
Stuck in an endless circle

TheFuzz

Poetry 2 - Freedom

As the sun sets

I can't help

But feel free

And restricted

At the same time

Freedom is more than freedom as we know it

Freedom is not really freedom.

Pale Remnants are now all that is left of the immense beauty

But it will return

Poetry 1 - Futility

Prisoner in my own world.

I lock myself away in my own restrictions, My own shackles

I can't think now

Peaceful serenity disrupted by life

If you can call it that

Cool winds breeze through me

Stimulating my soul

Nothing stops

Nothing stands still

It is all moving toward failure

Its a road block only a task YOU can perform

What an insignificant spec our lives really are

I'm locked in a dungeon and i can't get up.

Motorola GP68 95% used?

Well that's the heading I was greeted with when I first saw this ebay auction.

I ended up purchasing one of these 2 way radios.

What it infact is a commercial VHF radio that what I have read from
elsewhere on the web that the parts have been obtained from surplus
motorola parts and been assembled.

The end result is a radio that works and its cheap.  I bought mine
from a Hong Kong seller on ebay for $85 AUD thats damn cheap for a vhf
radio.

I am a licenced amateur operator  and have been using it with much
success on 2m's.

These radios turn out to be cheaper than a FDC or a Puxing and I like
it better considering its a well known brand..

Google wave INVITES !!! I have many

Well I'd say google wave is getting closer and closer to at least
becoming a public beta as they seem to be releasing more and more
invites

I've had a play with it and I am liking what they have been able to
do, they need to increase the speed of it a touch but its really quite
impressive.

That said if you want to check out what the hype is all about. Let me
know I can hook you up with an invite or 2 or 3 :)

Cheers.
