Shouldn’t a URL ‘shortener’ service make the URL shorter? perhaps even a google search term would have been appropriate, but then again that might have used up enough energy to boil a kettle*.

* I’ll have to explain this one later..

I’m heading down to Melbourne tomorrow for the 2009 OZCHI conference with Frank Maguire, Bert Bongers and Dan Hill, to attend and present (with Frank) some research work we’ve done recently.  I’m looking forward to it, one of the add-ons for this conference is a workshop on Street Computing organised by the ubiquitous Marcus Foth.  Dan and Andrew will be presenting some of their research, as will Bert – so it’s shaping up to be a really great day tomorrow.  To anyone who’s going to be at the workshop, I look forward to meeting you, the same goes to anyone else floating around the conference…

Catch you later in the week, hope this bizarre Sydney weather doesn’t get the better of you!
