Before and After (or Then and Now)

I started there in 1986 and worked there full time for 18 years and freelance for another 10. It never always looked like it did in the photo above. It had been added onto and changed around and I don't recall how many times I've said, "I'd like to see it razed to the ground". But I never believed I would see the day when it was really gone. And now it is. Whilst I really don't miss the old building, it was where my career started and for that I have to be grateful.

Wow, I wish I'd written that
Yes, I wish I'd written this article that rings so true. I totally agree with the writer in all aspects. Everyone take note.
Why going to an audio engineering school is generally a waste of your time and money by Byron J. Scullin
or in case the original link disappears I have PDF'd it here. But please go to the website in preference to this file as he really makes an extreme amount of sense.

Let me start by saying that some things are easy and some things are hard.
Conversely some things can be made to be easy and some made to be hard.
So the question that arises is why make something hard when it can be easy - and conversely why make something easy when it can be hard.
I see a lot of configurations and arrangements that are extremely intricate and hard to understand. Occasionally though, I see where a very complex setup has been made simple to use and understand. These are the people that I want to talk to. They are the one's I want to pry information out of; I want to get how they thought through to the point where simplicity overcomes the Byzantine. It must be a very, very hard thing to do as so many fail.
Sometimes what makes sense to you, is not what other people need to grasp a concept. It takes a certain mind and mindset to create a thing that appeals to our sense of reason and can be well grasped.
A lot of people create things that are hard to understand so that they can be irreplaceable, required and continually called upon. People like this, that create a mess so no one else has a clue as to what is going on are not people you want on your side or on your team. They are lazy and impenetrable. They are verbose, loud and flamboyant.
Remove the confusion.
I'm from the school of less is more, not if you have it you need to use it.
Now the question becomes have I made a complicated subject matter harder or easier to understand?

Governments nose where it's not wanted

I also noticed that according to Article 12 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights that I should not arbitrarily have my privacy interfered with. Is Australia a signatory to this document? Yes. So WTF are we doing Mr Government?
