Little Tweaks
One of Vyanne’s favourite photos from the trip through the Great Ocean Road. This was taken at Wreck Beach, one of the less traveled areas along the coast. The anchor you see here is one of a few, left by a sunken ship that got wrecked along this beach. The anchor is stuck in a pothole along the beach. You get some strange formations as it’s mainly hard rock near the coastline with eroded pockets of water filled with shells and other things.
It’s slightly less accessible and you need to drive on a gravel road just to get there. I cringed everytime the car wobbled over the uneven surface, kicking up and covering itself in dust.

Did some tweaks to the website. Changed the font from italic Georgia to regular Times New Roman. Also testing out the new CSS3 spec with @font-face, and grabbed some license free fonts over at FontSquirrel. If you are using Firefox 3.5+, Chrome version 4.0+ and Safari (no idea when support for it started) you will see a different font for the post titles.
Will be slowly adding some side content to the website as I’m happy with the current layout.

Trying to organise my thoughts these days. Have been looking into various wiki programs since I started using TiddlyWiki way back in March last year. Looked at Tomboy and Zim, both of which run native in Linux due to the existence of GTK and Python on the Linux platform. I would have needed to install extras on Windows just to get them working and the .NET framework is only available on Vista and Windows 7, so using it at work where XP machines are still the norm would have been painful.
So I decided to go back to TiddlyWiki for jotting down notes and linking ideas. The only difference this time was that I separated out the content into specific topics. HTML and Javascript is pretty standard and can be rendered by most modern web browsers, so migrating and editing the information between platforms (I frequently use Windows and Linux these days) is easy. Also starting to appreciate tagging for referencing posts and stuff, although I still don’t do it for this website, which uses 2004 idealogy for organising information. Heh, not the best way to lookup stuff, but there’s so far only 6 years worth of ramblings, so it’s not too important for me at the moment.

Geek stuff aside, tried to get back to running after a week and the half off. Managed probably 3 or 4 km before suffering to the heat. It was 34 degrees when I went out at 6pm and I was feeling mighty lethargic halfway through and had to drag myself home. Heh, progress is slow and I have a little more than a month left to run so I’ll need to push myself along somehow.
