I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

It was a great night, and there’s a load of rather blurry photographs which I just rotated, resized, uploaded and painstakingly added ALT text for in my Photography section. Go take a look!
The last photo isn’t from the carnival – it’s a picture of a Smart car bearing the numberplate “Petit” (sic)… Ben and I both thought it was funny, but unfortunately he was driving and I’m incapable of taking an un-blurry photo with my digital, hence the crappiness.
It’s a tad down from last month in everything except unique visitors, which means I just haven’t been creating enough new content and have been dependent on search engine traffic for hits from irregular visitors.

Yes, I should get back to posting real content, but I’m afraid that’s not too likely, between school (3 weeks to half yearlies! I know we’re not halfway through the year, but the final year of schooling is odd here in Australia!) and a production next week which is likely to consume all waking hours! I’ll hopefully get a chance to post regular or semi-regular photos, at least, but maybe not.
We’ve finally bought a TV capable of having RCA cables plugged directly into it! Sure, it’s second hand, conventional (i.e. not flat) CRT and a Sanyo, but it’s 51cm and means we don’t need to use a 19″ BenQ LCD bizarrely wired directly to our DVD player which has a VGA output (nearly exactly half the LCD’s native resolution, which is handy, but it’s a pain to lug from the office to the living room every time we wanna watch a DVD!).
So that’s exciting. I’d post pictures, but just imagine any generic curvy CRT TV and you’ve got the right idea. ;) It wasn’t really worth the time it’d take to find the camera, take a photo, come upstairs, upload photo, resize photo, login and upload via FTP, and then figure out the path to the file for inclusion in this post!
It also has wonderful wonderful mono sound, but that’s okay, because we’ve got a nice Sony system hooked up for that… at least the audio side of things is pretty good quality, even if the vision is functional but far from excellent (Infinitely better than the 20-or-30-something year old set we used to use as the main TV, though!)…
Later: As a direct result of the wonders of procrastination, I ventured downstairs with a camera and took a photo of a perfectly boring TV.
There you go.
When I moved from Dulwich Hill to Marrickville, I was completely lost in my kitchen for a couple of months!

Fortunately, he got out again…
I’m not entirely sure what this is all about, but it’s an interesting read. Appears to be semi-DRM related?
