So Dad's filling out his application for his real estate license, and there's the most ridiculous statement:

So we waded through the double negative, and decided to not strike out the paragraph. Then we read the instruction sheet:

WTF who wrote this?! Is this a triple negative, or is it just me?

The gay Open Polytechnic aren't giving me all the cross credits I deserve so I have 7 more papers to complete my degree. I already know what 6 of that 7 have to be, but I get one 600 level (eg second year) elective, which can be from any degree program (if I'm reading it right). Rather than do another business paper I was thinking of doing something totally different - however, most 600 level papers have prerequisites from their respective programs, so I can't do anything cool like electrical circuit design etc.

I've culled the list and can do any of the following papers. Suggestions would be helpful - I'm looking for papers that are:
1. Easy;
2. Interesting.

With priority in that order.

Employment Law
Systems Analysis
Electronic Commerce
Writing for Specific Purposes

Or anything else you can find that I missed.

I'm heading into a full-year capstone project and need a name for my team and we're having a hard time thinking of something. Any ideas?

We are using a design/development methodology known as Extreme Programming which is a subset of Agile methods. The name may or may not derive from this (most of the ideas from my team mates are just synonyms for "agile" ). I'd personally prefer a non-Agile related name because that's lame.

Suggestions so far from team mates:
Spry
Intrepid (several software companies already use this)
Whiz
Nimble
Deft
Mercurial Designs (already the name of a famous piece of software)

My own ideas:
Milkshake Software
Figure-8 Software

I'm drawing a blank I think synonyms for 'agile' show a remarkable lack of creativity. Need a name in the next day or two.

Hey Guys

Long time no see. Just giving an update (I dont have the net at home or at work so I've been slack with elephant etc.) Nicky and I got our own 2 bedder in Brisbane now so we have a spare room (with its own bathroom) for anyone that wants to come visit. Temping at Brisbane City Council but not sure what to do from here, just keeping an eye out for any interesting jobs that come up I guess. Im heading to Adelaide to see family in April so my next trip will be home to catch up with you guys, hopefully in May but June at the very latest so I'll try and time it for when as many people are in the central north island as possible. Where's everyone at in NZ at the moment? You guys keep moving around!

Take it easy guys, oh my number is 043 0100 932 and i guess you put a +61 in front to get a hold of me so text or call me as much as you like, I get a bit of free international calling so if you text me I'll be able to give you a call and catch up.

Oh, my Australian accent is pretty much back 90% or so .... damn it. I still call Jandals Jandals but I'm starting to call Sandwiches "Sanga's' ... dear god.

I want to buy this computer to use for study and everyday use...comments please cos I don't know what any of it means...

Who here has fitness goals for the year? I've decided on my goals this year and I'm working toward them. My stuff is army-related because I'm wanting to get a lot more involved with the army stuff over the next couple of years.

- Get to the top of the Mount in under 25 minutes with my pack (weighing no less than 27.5kg)
- Run to the top of the mount with webbing on (weighing no less than 15kg)
- Run 2.4km in under 10 minutes
- Run two half-marathons
- 100 push-ups non stop

Anyone else wanna share?

Okay guys I propose we all get together (preferably in Tauranga) before Martin heads back down to Christchurch. It's not very often that we can all get together so it would be awesome to try and do so before Martin leaves. I'm thinking this weekend (the 6th) or the next (13th).

Thoughts??

Dave and a couple of other people are looking at doing a few running events this year, and I'm gonna do some too - starting with the Xterra 1/2 Marathon in Rotorua in April. Here is the calendar Dave put together and emailed me - I hope he doesn't mind me posting it? If anyone is interested in doing any of these, give Dave a call.

Here is the calendar, viewable by anyone: http://bit.ly/cbKhvh

Hey Guys,

As some of you may know, I have recently handed in my notice.....my question, what should i do?

Who here has an awesome job, if so whats the industry?

I kinda have a blank slate. I want to start my own thing, and I will...but I need to learn some more skills....You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, etc., so am evaluating some part time positions in Auckland/Singapore.

Any huge problems in your industry, business or job, (problem == opportunity) that would be worth trying to solve?

Any comments or recommendations....open to it all,

Thanks
