New year’s eve saw $5m go up in smoke over Sydney Harbour this year, in 12 glorious minutes of fireworks. But more importantly, it gave me a good excuse to create a Flickr account, and wire it up to my blog. I’m loving all this interconnectivity stuff! This picture’s from the “fireworks” mode of my new happy snapper. Not bad for a little gadget balanced on a handrail in Dover Heights :) Happy new year!
General
Blog, meet people. People, Blog.
In fidgety anticipation of my impending trip to Europe, I’ve gone all mad-tourist; bought a Sony CyberShot HX5v (I just had to have a camera that matches my domain name, OK, nothing to do with the built in GPS geotagging :) ), and set up a blog site to share all my exploits with the masses.
I’ve always thought a blog would be a good idea. I’ve never been one for sentimentality but it seems as time presses on, I can barely remember what happened last week, much less in recent months, and many life-changing experiences change bugger all because I get distracted and forget they’ve happened. The Internet – sacred sanctuary of trogs with too much time on their hands – never really grabbed me the way it has many other hardcore bloggers, so I always knew that a blog would be one of those projects that would eventually land by the wayside as an abandoned carcass worthy of stuff all.
Yet, once a month or so, I find myself circling trains of thought that bear the subtext of “gee I should really write this down”. I’m a programmer by day, so a lot of it is thoughts and comments on the state of software development. If that’s not your thing, by all means, continue googling :)
Hopefully this little effort becomes routine enough to be worthy of a two-letter domain name.
