As part of participating in Movember I am seeking donations that will be passed on to the <a href="http://www.prostate.org.au/">Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia</a> and <a href="http://www.beyondblue.org.au/">beyondblue</a> - the national depression initiative. The Movember Foundation is a registered charity, so all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
To sponsor my dodgy mo (as I've named it) follow this link: <a href="http://movember.wezm.net/">http://movember.wezm.net/</a>.

For Manda's birthday this year I gave her tickets to <a href="http://www.sydneydancecompany.com/Repertoire/360_Degrees/1415">Rafael Bonachela's 360&deg;</a>, a contemporary dance performance by the <a href="http://www.sydneydancecompany.com/">Sydney Dance Company</a>.

For Manda's birthday this year I gave her tickets to Rafael Bonachela's 360&deg;, a contemporary dance performance by the <a href="http://www.sydneydancecompany.com/">Sydney Dance Company</a>. The performance was in the Playhouse at the Arts Centre (Melbourne). Unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations.
Now let me preface the rest of the post with the following: We're hardly connoisseurs of the fine arts. Instead we got the bulk of our prior exposure to contemporary dance through channel Ten's <a href="http://dance.ten.com.au/">So You Think You Can Dance</a>. I'm sure the purists out there would scoff at that but we wouldn't have even entertained the idea of seeing 360&deg; were it not for the show.

The performance seemed to lack any coherent story. The music choices seemed inappropriate to even tell a story and the projected backdrops seemed to have no relationship with what was going on on-stage. I was left feeling that I was not on the right level to understand it and some aspects were "arty" for arts sake. For example the sand covered skull with the sand falling in reverse to slowly reveal the skull.
Ignoring the aspects I didn't like there was still things that I did like. The skill of the dancers was most impressive. The use of light and mirrors was creative and clever. However overall the experience was a disappointment. I'm hoping that we will find another contemporary performance to see in the future that will live up to our perhaps uncultured expectations.

A few days ago I decided I wanted a feed of the <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/News">VirtualBox News</a> page. I mainly wanted this to know when new releases are made. Whilst the application does update itself, sometimes I go a while without firing it up so seeing the release in <a href="http://feedafever.com/">Fever</a> would be nice.
After some brief Googling I didn't come across anything that was obviously designed to create feeds from Ruby (outside of Rails). So I opened up the <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287">Atom Feed spec</a> and built the feed manually. <del datetime="2010-03-22T06:50:25+00:00">The end result is a Ruby script and a feed (updated daily) at: <a href="http://home.wezm.net/files/virtualbox.atom">http://home.wezm.net/files/virtualbox.atom</a>.</del> Thanks to the brilliant <a href="http://nokogiri.rubyforge.org/nokogiri/">nokogiri</a> this was relatively straightforward.
