It finally happened today — the public screening of the Bake the Cake video released here a few days ago, shot on January 24th, and edited the day after. It was most exciting to finally see an audience’s response to it!
Now, apparently, the entire school has seen it, and SACS students can expect to be subjected to Andrew’s singing in assembly at some point in the not-too-distant future… singing what exactly remains to be determined, although some have proposed the composition of a Bake the Cake song(!) to the tune of some well known-ish piece of music, just so everyone recognises it and can laugh if things go wrong!
A series of still images from the shoot are included on the right side (above this post if you’re not doing the whole CSS thing — and if you aren’t using a visual UA then it doesn’t matter much at all!) for your enjoyment (or something!) — most of the photos were taken by Ben using my digital Pentax Optio S40. Look at them. Be entertained. Especially by the last one. And if you haven’t yet seen the video, hurry up and download it before it goes! (WMV format, 16.5MB)
Note: The original mirror has now gone down. This updated post gives a new download location, from OurMedia.

It’d been discussed before, so I made this and posted here… just because I could. Thoughts, comments, feedback all welcome. I love this period of design! Can’t decide if the original of this design was 40′s or 50′s, though. Oh, yeah, the original read “Toasted Corn Flakes” just for the record!!

It’s been two weeks today since we moved into the new house. Just thought I’d say that. No, the IT situation isn’t loads better, but I’m working on it. Between assessments and other stuff.
If this stupid HP thing would play nice with hpoj and FreeBSD, I’d be sweet (well, you know, still gotta learn OpenLDAP and the rest of it, but sweeter), but of course that’s not likely to happen in a hurry. I’ve decided if it still isn’t working by this weekend I’m going to revert to trying with Parallel cables. Tis a sad day indeed.
In other news, the Commander system has been working okay, but there are more than a handful of moments of frustration when trying to get other devices to play nice on the system (e.g. not sanctioned HX308 phones), so for the moment we’ve installed a cordless handset in parallel to the Commander system (that is, not on a system port) — that means it’s out of reach of the rest of the PBX, but at least it can make phone calls (which is good, seeing it’s cordless and the HX308 things all aren’t). Some issues with line noise, but then the cordless thing is currently connected by a socket hanging out of a wall connected in about 30 seconds by yours truely. Oh, and if you’re from Austel, I just made all that up.

Those who frown upon public displays of affection look away :P
Nah, commercialisation and American influnce hasn’t triumphed, it’s just that it’s as good an excuse as any other to say “I love you” to someone who I love!
I LOVE YOU, TORI!!!
The rest of the Internet may ignore this message.

Kristen’s somewhat irate about the incessant misuse of the abbreviation “LOL” in electronic communication (well… supposedly only electronic communication… yeah, I’ve used it IRL occasionally… enough about that!), so she went and posted all about the potential evil of lol. Compulsory reading if you’re a regular “LOL” user/abuser!
