Here’s a photo of Geisha, our new kitten, taken last night.


Reflections in a pond, Kaitoke Country Gardens (just north of Upper Hutt, Wellington).


A flower at the same Country Gardens.


This was sunrise today, taken from the lounge room window.

10 things that Blogger could give us

Add comment April 10th, 2006

I found a great post called 18 Ways for Blogger to Beef Up, which inspired me to create my own top 10 list of things that would improve Blogger using some of their tips, and some of mine. While they have 18 of ‘em, I think that the following are the things that are most important for most bloggers.

1. Categories and Tagging
Everyone else does it, it’s high time Blogger did too. We all want categories, and with the social bookmarking that’s going on these days, Blogger needs to get with the times.

That crazy US President

2 comments April 10th, 2006

1) George Bush claims that material which is currently classified, was declassified in order for him to leak it, and then classified again.

Ummm… isn’t that really just bullshit? Isn’t that simply leaking classified information? Isn’t that a crime called treason? Isn’t that a punishable offence? Is anyone planning on punishing George Bush? Or are we just going to see Americans roll over again and say, “Oh ok. If Bush says it’s true, it must be true. If he says it’s ok, it must be ok. No problem.”

2) The Bush Administration is talking about using nuclear weapons on Iran. To make sure they don’t use nuclear weapons themselves. Because using nuclear weapons is bad. So Iran needs to be nuked by the good nuclear weapons before they build and use the bad nuclear weapons. Sure, makes sense to me. Not.

Writing practice

Apologies if you don’t like reading about the adventures of my character in the game of Eve Online, but you don’t have to read it. For those of you that don’t mind reading them, I hope you enjoy them as the creative writing that they’re meant to be, where I transfer the events of the game into an ongoing story. I’m using it as practice for my writing skills, and will continue for as long as the game inspires me to do so. :-)
