Going on a sailboat…

15 December 2007 by kristarella

I’m going sailing! Well, I hope I’m going sailing. I’m leading on a children’s sailing camp until Friday. There should be sailing involved, unless it really does rain all week as is predicted. It’s not getting wet that’s a problem (obviously!), but lightning and 10-20 knot winds can be.

I really intended not to be lame and write a farewell post. I was going to write a couple of posts to be published while I’m away, but I didn’t get a chance. So, this is it for a week.

In the meantime you might like to check out:

  • the recommended posts in the sidebar
  • some of my favourite blogs, websites and computer programs (also in the sidebar)
  • my photoblog, where I’ll have pictures everyday – including Christmassy ones (not too cheesy though!)
  • Color Hunter, a cool website I saw recently that makes colour schemes from photos
  • GIMP – I keep talking about it, but really, version 2.4 has some excellent improvements – I’m loving it!
  • Pixelpost – photoblogging software that I’ve been using for a while, but recently they’ve redesigned the website, updated the documentation, heaps of addons have been made, version 1.7 is being released… it’s really great!

    Thanks pelf!

    I’m back now 😀

    My site died while I was away – my account ran out of money. 🙁 What a fool I was to forget to fund it before I left!

    I like the linkblog on the side there (especially that my blog is one of them!). It’s a feed for your del.icio.us account yes? Is that a plugin, or… how did you create it?

    Thanks Lauren Marie 🙂

    Yes, it’s my Del.icio.us account. It’s using a script generated by them that I’ve put in a widget. You can find the script in the Del.icio.us settings. I described the options I used here.

    Oh I didn’t even see that in your last post. I’ll go take a look. I really like that feature!

    Haha, ok I just thought of something, Kristarella: You live in Australia. It doesn’t snow during Christmas there. It’s summertime isn’t it?? So what kinds of Christmas songs do you sing? Obviously I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas, Let It Snow and I’m Walking in a Winter Wonderland don’t really apply! LOL

    Haha, yes it’s true. Most of our Christmases are quite hot. Except this one. I had to wear a jumper!

    People still sing those songs though. I suppose we can always dream of a white Christmas. However, it would be concerning if we got one!

    There are lots of other Christmassy songs. My favourite carol is O Holy Night. :angel:

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
