Life updates

These are the updates I have since the last time I’ve written something personal in here.

Update 1
I’ve been sick the past week, with a cold or flu causing me to take a few days off work here and there.  It’s been niggling at me, and I haven’t really felt like writing.  Along the way, however, various political (American) issues have inspired me to write about them.  There’s nothing like politics and world affairs to get you sitting up in bed and typing what outrages you.

Bush looking for another war

4 comments May 11th, 2006

Iran is a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). As a member of this treaty, it has the right to involve itself in peaceful nuclear energy development, with monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It has never violated any part of the treaty requirements, and has always been open to monitoring and inspections.

None of this matters in relation to the US and its unfounded and unproven claims that Iran is building nuclear weapons. All they’re trying to do is cause everyone to be afraid, which is the usual US tactic before it attacks a country that has done nothing.

Bush declares ‘fight against terror’ is World War III

2 comments May 6th, 2006

US President George W. Bush said the September 11 revolt of passengers against their hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first blow of “World War III.”

…he said he agreed with the description of David Beamer, whose son Todd died in the crash, who in a Wall Street Journal commentary last month called it “our first successful counter-attack in our homeland in this new global war — World War III”.

Bush said: “I believe that. I believe that [Flight 93] was the first counter-attack to World War III.

Eve Online: Purify

Add comment May 6th, 2006

Just over a week ago, I left the old corporation I was in and joined a new one - Purify.  The old corporation was starting to fall apart at the seams, with the CEO deciding to quit, various members leaving, and the second-in-command not sure if he was going to continue the corporation or start a new one.  With all this happening, I made the decision to find another corporation to be involved in.  One that had been around for a while and was more secure, where the leadership was more committed, and which had values similar to mine. 

10 tips to improve your business

Thanks to the original post at Box of Chocolates, I thought I’d use the ’smart moves’ they mention and add my own special flavour to it.

There’s a lot of people with their own business, and many of them are on the internet. Some of them are even reading this, and it’s to those people who are looking to improve their business that will find value in these tips.

1. Start a blog.
   Blogging about your business is a fantastic way of advertising your business on the net, and it gives your business that ‘human face’ that is lacking with most businesses.

Changes within the US media

Add comment May 6th, 2006

I’m noticing something exciting… the US media are now starting to ask the right questions of the Bush administration, having quotes from previous speeches available, so that when a member of the Bush administration says they never said something, the statement is made: “Well, on this particular day you said blah blah blah…”

And the politicians are getting damned annoyed, which is great!
