Month of Change

(First things first...)

Congratulations Cassandra and Luke on your recent engagement. It's been a long time coming, and I hope your lives are filled with wonders and love. (and children? :)

It's been a long time - a month - since my last blog here. I've been a busy boy!

Since Matt's obviously not going to mention it first, I sold him my house :).

I'm now living in a lovely rental overlooking the Onkaparinga river and the sea (and Matt's mum's house!). It's a bit weird and inconvenient being on a slope, but otherwise I'm actually really happy with it. The lounge area is MUCH more usable.

I also have a shed, where I can hang the things that Missy doesn't want to see (like a giant photo of her :), as well as store all of my stuff.

I've also bought a PSP in prep for a change at work (that I'll probably discuss later). It's absolutely great for podcasts, video and audio. Best (only? ;) money I've spent on myself in a few years now.

It's also been a month of reflection and contemplation. Things are afoot that I hadn't put together, but slowly the world is making sense once more. Well, as much sense as a hunk of rock with seven billion ugly bags of mostly water can. (No, you're not supposed to understand this paragraph. Stop trying or you'll give yourself a headache!)

I've been a bit slack here, largely because I've been really busy, but also because I've been updating my work blog. It's not going to include home life stuff, it's purely work-related. All the same, if you're desperate enough to want to hear from me more, you can check up on me over there.

In a final and sad note, I'm as yet unable to get DSL. Costello is hammering away trying to get it for me, let's hope it happens soon! (PS. I thought I didn't have your number the other day, but it was under "D" not "C". I nearly didn't even check there!)

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
