I need to blog more

Sorry about the infre­quent post­ing, had a couple of bad weeks and then lost the use of my power­book for a couple more weeks when the con­nec­tion between the power pack and the com­puter finally gave up, after I spent the last year sol­der­ing the con­nec­tions back together. The amus­ing thing is that it took longer for the pack­age to go from the ship­ping company’s hold­ing centre in Bibra Lake to my office in West Perth (20km), than it took for me to order power pack online, get shipped from Apple’s dis­tri­bu­tion in Sydney and turn up at my house on the other side of Aus­tralia (2000km away and 50km from the nearest air­port) , at the only time of the day when nobody was wait­ing to sign for it.

Usu­ally I write my posts on the bus, but with fre­quency of my cyc­ling com­mutes increas­ing, I am los­ing blog­ging time. Not that the ride time is wasted, it is a got time to think clearly and organ­ise my thoughts. Only trouble is by the time I get home after bat­tling the sea breeze all I want is a hot shower, food and sleep and not sit­ting in front of a com­puter. So I am going to have to find other time in day to blog and play with this site.

Which is part of the prob­lem, I need to play with the site, I wrote a couple of posts on the bus before the power­book took a vaca­tion and they both had prob­lems with my stylesheet, noth­ing dra­matic, but it just needs debug­ging along with an IE lay­out issue.

All this while pimp­ing the advant­ages of pro­por­tional lay­outs using ems over fixed font sizes over at Particle Tree and Kevin Hale’s dynamic res­ol­u­tion inde­pend­ent lay­outs and unfor­tu­nately this blog is my best example.
