Day-to-day minutiae.

  • The first line of my last post referred to all the fuss being made about blogs in the world, this time by wired news, and the responses of dedicated bloggers. While I agree that blogs have been somewhat revolutionary, in that people are now more able to amuse themselves without boring their freinds and relatives…

  • There’s some hilarious shit going down in the world, isn’t there? Now I’ve updated another page, although you won’t find much there except for a description of what will be there soon, and that is the 2nd edition of the happy farang … All is explained on the page, but make sure to check it…

  • What have these three got in common?

  • erm … Saturday. I shouldn’t even be here, doing this, on a glorious Saturday afternoon in Melbourne. But hey, I’m obsessed. I think it’s essential to be obsessive if you’re going to write a blog. Or at least, maybe it’s only the obsessive people who manage to maintain a blog of any substance. Not that…

  • We are operational at last! No more shall ye be forced to endure the boring details of my tech wanks [question: has anybody published a blog about bloggers obsessed with posting details of coding and/or formatting changes made during the previous twenty four hours?] … Whatever. This picture was taken in a carpark above the…

  • Or so they say … while I love HTML and everything it has done for me, the most frustrating (or, depending on your outloook, the most fascinating) part of learning code is this: it may take you days to figure out something that’s a massive problem onscreen but that is in fact a simple matter…

  • After some massive overhauling, I think I’m just about ready to start telling some stories, making some links work and generally producing for the benefit of all mankind. I’ll be trying to make text wrap around photos, which means that I’ll have to actually put in more text. Thus I’ll also be revising some of…

  • Now we’re really cooking with gas. It’s amazing just how much time it can take to straighten out a few tables. So, onto some serious content-creation.

  • Formatting issues are a bit of a problem, as is trying to adapt a blog template that’s been used by someone esle for your own purposes. oh well, I will get there in the end. I will also get around to telling the stories behind some of my photos soon.

  • About a year and a half ago, I spent a weekend at the Warrnnambool Hotel, as you do. It was a Jack Kerouac kind of experience. When Monday rolled around, I left town at about 2am, in the middle of a rainshower and some fog. I took this photo about two hours later, after nearly…

  • These images are based on a photo of a pink (salt) lake as seen through a car window on the road from Port Augusta to Adelaide, South Australia. Me and my girlfriend were coming back from a reconnaisance mission to Woomera, which was once a rocket town but more recently (and perhaps infamously) the location…

  • So what if this page looks like a car crash at the moment. Luckily nobody’s particularly interested in my blog just yet, so I can for now get away with this really bad design. By the way, this photo of me was taken by my friend Quinton at an Internet cafe in Melbourne, where we…
