I’m typing this at Changi airport. About to board the A380 again, which must be the most fantastic commercial passenger liner to travel economy on, ever. The business class is unbelievable.  Lovely and quiet, very civil.

There was a do about iTunes U the other evening. Interesting stuff, cool gadgets, lots of Kool-Aid, wine and canapés. USyd probably won’t do anything though—UNSW are already on board so we can’t possibly. Which is a shame: central admin have no bloody idea, even though the Faculties of Science are actually pretty keen on this kind of thing (they’re paying for me to go to this, for example).

Anyway, the important thing is that I scored a cool freebie:

Woohoo!

It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the death of Corporal Barry Dempsey from The Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, killed in Afghanistan on Monday 18 August 2008.

Funny, there’s been buggerall news about the rowing and cycling down here.

Yay team!

My heart bleeds. Perhaps someone should help these poor people.

My name is Richard Bromley, I have been diagnosed with a 
deadly ailment that was discovered very late. It has defied 
all form of medicine. I have only about a few months to live 
according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my 
life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself 
but my business. I want you to assist me in disbursing funds 
to charity organizations. Please reply me through my private 
email immediately so i can explain further.

If anyone were to sign these people up to unwholesome mailing lists, I couldn’t possibly condone that course of action.
