Cruise photos

I’ve just got around to (finally) cropping and posting photos of the cruise back in December last year today. The first 10 or so are fairly drab and boring (due to the weather), but some of the rest are pretty good.

Go take a look at the album

On a miserable day…

Two days ago was the most windy (and wet) day Sydney had seen for a while. Personally, I enjoy that kind of weather (except this house sounds like it’s going to blow over, but oh well), especially if you don’t need to go outside on that particular day.

Our dog had the right idea of what to do — I snapped a photo to share with the world:

Dumbledore hiding in his basket type thing

A note to the perceptive: Yes, the edges of that photo have been desaturated. Shouldn’t be too blatant, though…

Movie in a Minute

Launched rather recently, an experiment with WordPress 1.5, multi-user weblogging, salvaging a design, and writing crap about films with my favorite person in the world, Tori.

Go check out Movie in a Minute now!

We’ve just made the finishing touches and uploaded our new website — and logo, general branding and the rest of it — to a spot where the world can see it.

We are, justifiably, rather excited about it all — go take a look over at base10solutions.com.au!

Yes indeed, two website launches in 24 hours! Exciting times!

Content portage

I’m finally getting around to moving posts and miscellaneous other junk across from my old weblog, powered by my own junky PHP thing, to this current WordPress installation. There are two reasons for this — firstly, I’d been meaning to do it for ages, but hadn’t been bothered to, and secondly, I’m soon upgrading this to WordPress 1.5 (so I can use my own much talked about DashLite, amongst other things! ;) Yeah, I’m enjoying my 5 minutes of fame…), which means this is as good a time as any to do something about it.

Additionally, there’s just been a server overhaul, which puts everyone in the mood to play and generally break things as a side result of the creative process — oh, yeah, and I’m kinda sorta on holidays, between exams (well, you know, studying hard — but I need something to keep me sane!). Kudos to Dale for his help with porting the articles… working on the comments still, but it’ll get there (probably, assuming I don’t just give up in disgust!).

Something of a more creative nature to come, maybe, once the move to 1.5 happens… it makes that sort of thing easier.
