"Man Bites Dog" - a card game about news headlines. A belated photo (I just forgot to upload it yesterday, sorry) of a belated "Secret Santa" present (I joined my client's office Secret Santa, left my present for person X there before Xmas; but I wasn't around when the presents got distributed). Thx unknown giver - looks like a lot of fun!

Not much to say really - a bunch of "Nimm 2" lollies (one grows up with those in Germany) that someone among the people working at my client here brought from a recent trip home from Thailand.

Also, it shall be noted that @ilaeria dared to not like them and claimed instead that the Orange flavour with "gooey" Caramel wasn't going well together. Sigh. Sigh. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh! :)

Just saw this from my balcony. Fireworks. On a Monday. Maybe at Seaworld?

This is prob. the most stereotypical Gold Coast photo you could get: tall apartment building, some tropical palm trees and blue sky :)

This is technically cheating because it's from the 29th of Jan - but it's so nice that I want to show it.

I saw this from my balcony during the Chinese New Year 2012 Parade in Sydney - massively huge Dragon animation projected onto the side of a very tall building.

Cutie...

This is quite possibly the cutest and most friendly dog I've come across for a long time. 9 months old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy and the dog-in-residence at Sydney-based client.

Yeah, I'm doing Foto Feb. If you want to know what it is - check Diane's blog. Or Nick's blog. Or both. Here's day 1.

The person who's desk I'm currently occupying at my client in Sydney is kind of a snow globe fan. That's not even all of them :)

Rooting Google Nexus One on Android GRK39F build

by kai on 25/01/2012

The other day I needed to change the hosts file on my Google Nexus One (to actually point a domain name to a local dev environment so that I could test some mobile web application development I've been doing). I needed root access to do that and I ended up realising that I had lost root access (even after I manually hacked my way from the Vodafone 2.1 build to Android 2.2 when I got the device)…

The flight planning software I use is Windows-based and unfortunately Windows-only. It's a really powerful tool and there's nothing comparable for OS X (at least not for Australia and New Zealand), so I'm happy to go the extra mile making it work.
