That's right, yet another LiveJournal post commenting on the plume of smoke hanging around Perth since Sunday. This morning I took photos.

Finished stitching, uploading, rotating and captioning the literally hundreds of photos I took on new year's eve. My mini tripod got lots of use in the evening, and the results were well worth it, even though a few of the photos were a bit underexposed. Yay for manual-everything digital cameras. Mussel pool at Whiteman Park is a beautiful place ( Read more... )

Whoah, two posts in the same month. :P

Christmas photos are now available. The gallery on my workstation (cnspc18) is currently offline following a hardware upgrade, and will probably stay that way, as I have much more diskspace available here at home, albeit with much less bandwidth. I hope to eventually migrate the old albums.

Hurrah! We visited our block yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find that someone had run a bulldozer over the dirt. I duly took photos. I wonder how much of the reason for it was pointing out last week that yesterday marked the 45th working day since building approval (penalties apply if construction starts later than this). We didn't ( Read more... )

It seems that some of the Murdoch students I know have suddenly become aware of this blog, so this post is just for them. Hi guys.

Moved office yesterday, from a sectioned off area of a workshoppy type area to a bisected room about 15 metres away that has a glass wall separating it from the rest of the computer operations area. There have been ( Read more... )

Well, mostly net.dead, which means I'm slightly net.alive ( Read more... )

A busy weekend. On Saturday was Town of Bassendean's Multicultural Food Fair, and SESwas recruited to enforce the fireworks exclusion area at Mary Crescent ( Read more... )
