Random Hacks of Kindness
0Over the weekend I attended the “Random Hacks of Kindness” event at Swinburne Uni.
Jim Elliott, from the Bureau of Meteorology, had submitted a problem:
Confirm Flood Warning for Safe Action
Many people receiving warnings of rapidly developing disaster situations such as flash flooding often have the following problems:
- They don’t understand that the warning is meant to relate to them
- Even if they did, they may not fully perceive the gravity of the threat
- When they understand the gravity of the situation, they are not aware of the appropriate protective action to take.
Compassionate Leave
0I’m on the SkyBus to the airport. Sitting on floor with my back against someones suitcase. Why am I doing this? My Mum is about to go under the knife, she has a 7cm aneurysm sticking out of her heart that has plans to end her.
Of course the surgery comes with a warning too. Years of smoking have left her with lungs 20 years older than the rest of her body. This could cause complications.
So I’m hunkered down on the floor of a SkyBus heading back to Sydney.
w00t! I’m bloggin’ on the go.
0Okay, so by on the go I mean posting via my Android phone while I’m sitting in front of my computer, but hey I am a geek
Must Have Apps for your Android Phone
1So a week ago I picked up the HTC Dream. A nice little device that is powered by Google’s Android mobile OS.
So after a week of installing and uninstalling, using and not using applications from the “Market”, I thought I’d put together my list of “Must-have-apps”.
New Feature…
0Ever since ITD started blocking this blog I’ve found it hard to update.
But now thanks to the wonder that is Google Docs I can post from work again!
The new (well to me anyway) feature is “Post to Blog”. I can create my post in GD then publish it to my blog. This makes me a very happy camper.
I wonder how this will look once it’s Posted?
