Going Going Gone!

Well, my mum would have left for QLD early this morning to live. I hope she has a safe trip and that the traffic isn’t too bad. I have university holidays in April, so I’ll most likely fly up then for a week. By this time they (mum and sister) should have well and truly settled into their new home.

Photography System

So far the integration of the new photography system is going well. The photography is now located at http://photography.shaunewing.org. Now that the integration seems to be complete, more categories and images will be added soon. Currently this site is spread over two different servers. The main shaunewing.com domain and email is located on a Plesk server in the Rackshack datacenter.

Journal System

Yesterday evening I made some changes in the journal to make it more search engine friendly. You’ll notice this by the filename – journal.php/year/month instead of journal.php?year=year&month=month. However, I made one small oversight. Because this appears to web browsers to be a folder, some links were broken. These have now been fixed and I’ll be going through the database to

Photography – City Collection

The City Collection in the photography section is now back online. I’ll be getting other sections online over the next few days. With my trip to Melbourne next week I’ll be able to add some more photographs to the city collection. I’ll also try to get into Sydney again sometime over the next few weeks to take some more photographs.

Catch Me If You Can

Today I went with Justin and my mum to see “Catch Me If You Can”. This movie is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale; a successful con artist who manages to act as a pilot, doctor, lawyer and more – netting himself more than $4 million in the process. The movie starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Abignale Jr,

Photography

I’ve been slowly getting the new photography system online. Photographs are being added again and everything should be functioning within the next few days.

Leaving for Brisbane

Today I went out to dinner with my mum, Justin and Sharon (one of my mum’s friends) as a last night dinner. We had a banquet at a Chinese restaurant in Windsor. My mum and sister are moving to Brisbane. My sister is already there, but my mum is leaving early Friday morning. I’ll miss them, but I’ll be able

Virgin Blue

Well, Justin and I were getting slightly bored so we decided to fly to Melbourne next week for a few days. It has been 10 years since I last went to Melbourne so I’m looking forward to seeing it again. Unfortunately reasonably priced Qantas tickets were unavailable unless we wanted to fly at 6am. I’ve never flown Virgin Blue before

Photography System Changes

Today I’ve been spending time replacing my old manual photography section with a script called “4images”. I was developing my own, but decided not to bother. Until I’ve finished getting it all working, the photography section will be unavailable but hopefully this won’t be for too long. With the new system I’ll be adding two more categories – Airport photos

Happy New Year

Well, I was away on holidays when the New Year passed so I’m taking this opportunity to wish everybody a Happy New Year! Personally I enjoyed a quiet evening at Gretel Farm with the family, watched the Sydney fireworks on TV and relaxed.
