A while ago i registered the domain planetgov20.com so I could have a place to put any Gov20 projects I was working on. It started out as a simple blogroll of Gov20 blogs from around the country and then languished there awaiting new inspiration.

While getting my morning twitter fix this morning I came across this post by Jeff:
"Astronauts are in the Command Service Module now, almost all the way to the Moon, poking around in the Eagle. 47 hours until landing!"
After a brief period of wondering whether he'd either ingested some good honest Yass "herb" or had infact invented a time machine, I came across wechoosethemoon.org which has been put together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings.

I've been watching the wailing and gnashing of teeth that has greeted Googles announcement of ChromeOS with bemusement. From people angry that Google has decided to build their own Distro to those who are claiming that it's a deliberate slight against Ubuntu and will fracture the Linux world, some say fataly!
Take a breath people.
Let's deal with the biggest claim first shall we?
"ChromeOS Will Fracture The Linux Community!!11!"

So before I start on the Grand Adventure that is PlonieBot, I thought I would start with something smaller, with a much more limited API that I could practice against. I've also been wanting to play around with the OpenAustralia API and so openausbot was born.

If you've been watching my twitter/identi.ca stream lately you'll notice that I've managed to get access to the Google Wave developers preview.
Apart from "teh coolness" of being involved with something like this, the main reason I signed up was I really wanted to see if it was possible to bring Wave functionality to the Plone CMS.

The level of banking spam has been going through the roof lately and I've recieved everything from St George, to the NAB, Westpac and even the CUA. However given that it's nearing tax time, the ATO is being given a run at the moment.
This morning I recieved an email with the following text:
You have get a Tax Refund on your Visa or MasterCard.
Complete the formular, and get your Tax Refund.
(Your Refund Amount Is 250.50 AUD)

Okay, as a mental exercise (really because I can't afford to build the thing right now) I have been designing a prototype of the Clean Energy Bio-Fuels plant I mentioned earlier.
To make things simpler I've broken down the design into the component parts:
- Bio-gas Plant
- Bio-Diesel Plant
Now as you may remember, the idea is to create a plant that is as energy self-sufficient as possible while reducing the impact on the environment to the bare minimum, while producing quality fuels, and as I've discovered other products.

So, I gave a talk last friday at the Sydney Linux Users Group about the work I've been doing with Plone and Local Government. On one of the last slides I went on about my future plans for what I was working on.
Then I got home and dug into this announcement that Google had made about something called Wave.
Umm, if it works as advertised, wow?
Two things lead me to say wow.

Just thought I would do a quick update on the vegie garden. The beds have been left alone for a little while now, I would love to say that they've been lovingly tended for the winter growing season, however whats really happened is that I haven't had the inclination to tackle the work to repair the beds until now.
However that being said we're starting to re-populate the beds and today we planted some Romanseco Broccoli Romano, other wise known as Fractal Broccoli.

If you're going to try and crack a CMS then please at least check to see what CMS it is that you're trying to crack? wp-login does not work on Drupal sites.
Sigh, so hard to get good evil people these days.
