Updates!

Whew! Being busy is fun! Well, some of it is fun. Part of the business has been work (when you come home late from work you don’t feel like doing much), part has been doing actual things with my time that don’t involve computers (shocking, I know!).

So what have I been up to? First off, there’s the Reel Earth Festival, which of course is finished now, but I was there with some friends for the closing weekend.

There’s the reading part, I happen to have a whole bunch of new books to go through *cough*.

There’s also the fact that it’s winter, so if by any chance we have a sunny day I take the car and go somewhere. The latest “adventure” was the back road between Woodville and Masterton, a very fun to drive gravel road. Saturday with nobody on the road = win!

So yeah, I’ve kept myself busy. Oh, and it was also Queen’s Birthday not long ago, which is a “sales with lots of % off!” day, so I took the chance to get myself some cheap games as well. Disgaea is fun!

But! There’s some backdated cooking to post about! I’ll get on to it in a bit =)

And the site grows!

That’s two out of three “main things” I want to put in the site, the photo gallery is now live!

I finally decided to use Jalbum, it’s not exactly cutting edge but it’s reasonably easy to use, and does a good job at tracking changes and synchronyzing from the PC to the Server via FTP. The theme? SPARTAAAAn! Or rather, I don’t fancy excessively flashy sites.

I wanted to make the “index” of the galleries a clickable map of the world, but I couldn’t find a good non-cumbersome solution for it, specially if different groups of pictures clump together in a small area. I could have a main map menu, then a submenu with the country zoomed in I suppose, or better a zoomable map ala Google Maps, but eh, this works and is descriptive enough.

More pictures to come… Eventually!
