Running Tweet Deck on Ubuntu
Published on March 27, 2009
I have Tweetdeck running on my iMac at work and I wanted to get it running on Ubuntu at Home so I thought I’d share with you just how I did that.
First you need Adobe AIR. Adobe seem to ‘get’ Linux more and more these days. To do that, go to the Adobe AIR website [...]
Jerk of the Week: Gunns
Published on March 25, 2009
It’s no secret that I’m a bit of a greenie so it stands to reason that have an intense dislike for Gunns hardwired into my brain.
Last week I got this news: “A MULTI-MILLION dollar claim by Gunns Limited against the Wilderness Society has collapsed after four years, with the timber giant ordered to pay the [...]

Jerk of the Week: Steve Fielding
Published on March 19, 2009
Steve Fielding is actually more than a Jerk, he’s a massive fucken idiot. For the second time in a week he voted against the electoral reform bill which would reduce the threshold on donation declaration from $10,500 to $1,000.

On a radio show last week he mentioned “I may run for president of Texas”. I for one, hope he does.
Turns out that what he meant by that is some right wing dribble about the problems with giving Palestine $900 Million [...]
Jerk of the Week: Lindsay Fox (well Linfox but I’ve got to point the figer at someone)
Published on March 11, 2009
In an age characterised buy the dual crises of Climate Change and Peak Oil to suggest building another international airport defies logic.
Not only is international air travel a major contributor to carbon pollution – and something that should be covered under the Carbon Trading Bill – but it will be priced out of the market [...]
Jerk of the Week: Cappa
Published on March 4, 2009
In the interest of political fairness, given that PH was last week’s Jerk of the Week, it seems only fair that Warwick Capper is this week’s Jerk.
He’s a racist too:
Asked what he knew about the Beaudesert area, he said: “I went there once – a fair few Aborigines and very multicultural out there.
“But nice place. [...]
