Wondering if the pleasure of meeting the Snook at the East Sydney for lunch outweighs the annoyance of going out into the sweltering heat.
Saying goodbye to Clare and Emily at the Royal. Has it really been a whole year? Bon voyage, ladies. You’ll be missed.
Gah. Website problem identified. Stupid host upgraded to mod_security 2 without warning. None of 1.x rules work anymore. STUPID!
@miftik Host just emailed to say they were reverting. Must have affected more sites than just mine!

is apparently channeled by ScarJo in “Scoop,” at least according to Em & Clare. Not yet sure if this is a good thing. No urges to sing Tom Waits covers… yet
Yeah, the whole “25 Random Things about Me” thing? We were doing that on the Internet (x 4!) SEVEN YEARS AGO. I dug up my old copy and gave it a quick update so y’all will quit tagging me with this business.
I’m in total agreement with Gruber here: Softwear by Microsoft is COOL. I would totally wear that “Albuquerque” shirt.
Playing around with Balsamiq Mockups to layout some website changes. Anybody ever used it?
@markvtc Thanks for the tip. Will check it out. Looks a lot cheaper than Axure, which is what I was using before
Dokic breaks back! Holy crap, it’s 4-4 in the third set!!
Awww, that was a good finish. Dokic was good, but Safina was better. Loved her adorable interview after. And I COVET her smokin’ arms.
Trying out Toodledo for iPhone to do list. I liked RTM, but $40/yr is too much to pay. Any other suggestions?

Just saw Norman Lindsay “Magic Pudding” exhibit @ State Library. Now beer & pork pies at Lord Nelson. Happy Australia Day!
Woo! Saw that big CBD Supre is closing. Global financial crisis = not ALL bad! Now just have to clear streets of evil scourge of leggings.
Realization: I’ve spent way more time practicing to play fake guitar than I ever did to play real trumpet.

We went on a special expotition this morning to the State Library of New South Wales to see the “Magic Pudding” exhibit that’s currently running. For those who haven’t heard of it – and I certainly hadn’t before I moved here – The Magic Pudding is an Australian children’s book written in 1917 about a magical pudding (i.e. baked dessert) that you can eat and eat but it never gets smaller. Oh, and he walks and talks and prefers to be called “Albert.” He’s owned by a sailor, a penguin, and a koala, and the band of pudd’n owners are beset by pudd’n thieves at every turn. It’s all food and fighting, which apparently the author (famous artist Norman Lindsay) thought were the things children most related to. (He’s right.) Snookums read it to me over several nights, and I was laughing my head off the whole time. Anyway, the exhibit is of several large watercolours that Lindsay painted of the characters. There are also a few puppets that were created for a famous travelling show based on the book, and a video presentation about the puppets runs on repeat. I absolutely loved the paintings, and I bought a few postcards and a poster. (I have grand plans to knit the pudd’n someday.) We also checked out the other exhibit that’s running: “Bondi Jitterbug”. It’s a collection of photos taken on Bondi Beach in the 30’s and 40’s. The neatest ones are of “beachobatics,” super fit gymnasts and athletes doing acrobatic poses on the beach. Those of you who like stunning B&W photos of half-naked muscle men (*cough* Andrew!) would do well to get over there before it closes.
I love pictures you stick your head through. They had a special setup for this one, where you could hit a button to take a digital photo and email it to yourself. The other one is of a knitter(!) balancing a guy on her back on the beach.
Attention Hoosiers: Happy the Hobo’s WIFE left me a comment. How awesome is THAT?!
