FINALS FEEVER

June 23, 2006
CONGRATULATIONS SOCCEROOS!!

I cant believe it!! Australia have made it through to the FIFA WORLD CUP GROUP 16!! I've been up all night for the last couple of weeks following everything very closely and tonights game was just amazing!!

I picked Harry as being man of the match very early in the game, he was back to his best form and showed why he is one of Australias best players. At times it was the Aussie 11 against 12 on the Croatian team, as the ref had obviously been paid off!! But even that didn't stop us from qualifying for the next amazing round for the first time ever!!

And another first, a Croatian player receiving 3 yellow cards before being sent off!! Come on FIFA you HAVE to get some decent ref's in this game!!!!

Come on Italy!

Check out the FIFA FINALS web page.

And check out the current group standings with just one more days play to go before the next round.

Another Farewell

June 09, 2006

Another sad day today as I work my final day at Andrew. Following is a copy of my farewell letter to all my friends at work:

With the end of my contract comes another good bye to all here at Nortel/Andrew/XXX, or whatever the office is labeled with next week!

Thank you to all those that made the last six months a pleasure for me to work here with my friends rather than work mates. It was certainly a good experience coming back as a developer rather than a manager! It's still a unique workplace here, and certainly a different world to the few weeks I spent at CSC last year! With my move to Selera, I am hoping for a similar environment, at least the part where I will be working with friends. And of course with my first assignment being a project with Jarek, I'm looking forward to cooking with gas!

Thanks again for the last six months. I am sure I'll be in and out of this office regularly, or bump into you all at the Friday afternoon watering hole.

As always, a few drinks are planned at the uni-bar this afternoon.

Thanks,
Graham.
