Posted by Roger Keays, 22 July 2009, 10:00 PM Good evening my conjelicious companions. How are we all? Ah... bon. Shall we get started then? Non, wait just one moment please... Today's topic is somewhat sensitive and gender specific, so I therefore must request that all female visitors stop reading immediately and go look for shoes on ebay instead. If you do not, you will probably hate me forever.
Thank-you.
Now, gentlemen. Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. Let's cut to the chase. Why do we date? I know the answer, but I'm giving you a minute or two to think for yourself..... Yes! We date because we have no choice. Even when we are 'not dating', we are dating and even if we believe in fairly tales, karma and destiny, we go right ahead and play the dating game... badly.
But don't worry. I'm here to help. Really, I care. Okay. I don't care, but I had a lot of fun making this dating scoreboard anyway. It's very simple to use. The first column is drivel, the second is nonsense and the third is largely a waste of space and only making this whole global warming thing worse. Nevertheless, I post it here in the hope that one day my work will be recognised by the leading psychologists of tomorrow.
Je vous presente... the Dating Scoreboard!

Posted by Roger Keays, 11 July 2009, 8:29 AM The market statistics here are from the All Ords Accumulation Index or the All Ords, where I couldn't find the AOAI return. The figures vary from different sources, so I wouldn't exactly reference them or anything. My returns are calculated including imputation credits (which increases the figures), and treating reinvested dividends as part of the contributed capital (which decreases the figures). CPI figures come from the ABS website.

Posted by Roger Keays, 3 July 2009, 12:06 AM Hooray for buggy javadocs. The JSF taglib describes the type attribute of an f:numberConverter as:
Specifies how the number string will be formatted and parsed. Valid values are "number", "currency", and "percentage".
Nice, but wrong. For percentages, the correct value is percent, as defined in the JSF spec.
<f:convertNumber type="percent"/>
Where do I apply for my refund on that hour of my life?
