Still writing, still occasionally taking photos, still reading (albeit not as much), and still flying around a fair bit.  Plus we're getting close to Q4, which is always a killer - ... http://blog.tindrumfire.com/2008/07/22/still-alive-despite-evidence-to-the-contrary Killed my WPG2 Gallery / Wordpress plugin because it was breaking things.  Unfortunately, that's also killed all my old blog pictures too.  Have migrated my photos to Picasa Web Albums, but haven't updated my old posts yet.  Figure I'll do it today or tomorrow sometime. http://blog.tindrumfire.com/2008/04/19/photos-are-teh-borked Finally upgraded the sidebar to be widget compatible.  Looks the same, but it's different.  Now everything's clicky and draggy instead of codey.  Trust me ... Other than that, nothing to report.  Still haven't written anything much, been too busy at work / at home / doing other stuff.  I've decided ... http://blog.tindrumfire.com/2008/04/17/widgetization-101 http://blog.tindrumfire.com/2008/04/13/out-and-about Am in Adelaide at the moment.  From last Wednesday to next Wednesday, I'll have been to: Melbourne Brisbane Sydney Perth Adelaide So, no time to write anything new.  Took some nice Wedding shots though, will upload some.

I'd been thumbing through Meta Math (another take on Gödel's incompleteness theorem), and I just really didn't feel ... http://blog.tindrumfire.com/2008/03/26/the-life-of-pi While outside this afternoon, I met a friendly little fellow ... http://blog.tindrumfire.com/2008/03/24/a-visitor In-between more "serious" novels, I'm on a bit of a graphic novel trip - I just finished The Arrival, I'm waiting on a delivery of Bone, Watchmen, and From Hell, and the almost full set of Akira's sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.  Which, ironically, was why The Invention of ... http://blog.tindrumfire.com/2008/03/13/the-invention-of-hugo-cabret Stephen King's an old dog, and I doubt he'd disagree.  The thing with old dog though, apart from being inable to learn new tricks, is that they're persistant.  They're set in their ways.  And, if they're well trained, they still know a thing or two that'll impress you.
