For now, anyway. I know, it’s a bit… white. On the bright side, you’ll easily be able to find things on your desk while reading this in the dark. *UPDATE* I toned down the white. I was going to go for newsprinty, but for now this will do.

I was playing around with new themes, but then the one I really liked was swiped by my wife (totally out of the blue) when she suddenly decided to turf out her whole Nurtured Mother site and make it a more personal blog. I went back to square one, because I didn’t want to have the same theme as her -  I’m weird that way.

Being angry at stupid people is a bit of a hobby for me, but lately I have encountered so many of them that it’s become a full-time job. I’ve had to be angry for 60-70 hours a week and considering I’m usually only awake for 80-odd hours a week, that means my waking hours time are all occupied with either eating, going to the can, a bit of photography and being angry. I tried combining some of the angry time with taking a shit, but I almost blew out an O-ring as badly as Challenger in 1986.

Who knew being an outraged, know-it-all prick was so time-consuming?

Anyway, I need to tweak this theme a LOT, but I have found something to build on. I was tired of the old look, so the hell with it – ready or not, here it is.

Now I need to go and expose some twatwaffle for douchebaggery. Tune in later.

…it might be a bumpy ride.

I’m sick of my blog layout, so I am working on something new. I have found the basic idea I want to use, but now I have to incorporate all my personal stuff into it.

Some things might break. So far it looks good in behind-the-scenes testing, but if things change and you notice something wrong, then let me know through the Contact Info page or the contact form that will (hopefully) be up very soon. (Update: It is available on the contact page now)

Hang on to something…

State of Mind: Cool

I posted this on a small photo community my wife and I created, where we share photos with a very small group of friends. I have debated whether or not I should even put it up here, as it is somewhat personal… but then, this is SUPPOSED to be a blog that is about me and my opinions. If anything has ever truly been a part of who I am, it is what is in this post… especially the feelings about photography. So, here goes. Be gentle.

State of Mind: Confused

We’re moving. We’re picking up everything and starting fresh in a new home.

Unfortunately, said new home does not have a reasonable option at this time for internet access. There is infrastructure under development, but it won’t be ready for a little while, so for a time (as much as a couple of months) we will have only limited access to the web through our mobile phones, the library, and whichever neighbours have existing connections.

I know I have not updated a lot lately. I have written several partial entries that weren’t completed due to illness and I really hoped to get something coherent out of them before we moved, but that is clearly not going to happen at this time. So, you’ll have to content yourself with digging through the archives or being patient while we get set up.

Just because I can’t get online doesn’t mean I don’t rant or write anything offline. When we finally are back, there could be a flurry of posts from offline musings transferred to blog form, but in the meantime, it’s shutting down for while. I’ll be disabling comments in the final days and making things read-only (temporarily).

That’s it… I’m cutting things off until the dust settles post-move. No more raging rants for a while, you’re going cold turkey.

See you in 2009!
