I know - it''s been a while!

Before you even think it, I know... I have been really slack with my posting lately. But I have been too busy... I swear.

I have been doing some more work on the side for SirsiDynix which is keeping me occupied, as well as my normal job. Plus there is always something to do around the house.

Today we went to the Gisborn market first thing in the morning. It was a decent size market this month, we just got some apples, and Sean got a jug thing for his mum for mothers day. I had an organic mixed berry flavoured yogurt... it was very nice.

Last week I went to a Web 2.0 training thing in the city. It was very interesting and talked about web 2.0 which is just a fancy marketing name for 'social software' on the Internet which includes things like blogs (like this one), wikis see http://www.wikipedia.org/ for an example. It is like a web page where anyone can add content or make adjustments to the content. It also looked at things like My Space, second life, Google Documents (http://documents.google.com), which I had never bothered to look at before... these were really cool and have just as much functionality as Microsoft Word and Excel. What I really liked about them is you can choose to 'share' your documents with certain people, and you can both make changes simultaneously, and you can see the other persons changes straight away. Also included was Flickr, which also has some really good photos on there. I found some photos on there of the ducks and swans in Caroline Springs taken by a local guy... they are really good (http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=caroline+springs+%28swan+or+duck%29&m=text).

At the house we have started doing a little work out in the yard, digging trenches to lay pipes before we get a concrete slab laid for our shed so we can eventually put in a water tank. So slowly piece by piece things are starting to come together.

Anyway, I can't think of anything else to report for now!
