Attention web geeks!

Does anyone know, if it’s possible to use Wordpress software to run any kind of website?
You see the thing is, I really like the way the Wordpress runs the “back-end” and I’m interested in building a website that has the same interface. Especially so I can use all the plugins that are made for it.
Ok geeks… over to you.

New Pushy

I got a new pushy yesterday! My old bike crapped itself after 5 years of ownership. I think i’ll get it fixed up and working again eventually, but it was too small anyway and not really suited for the riding i’m doing (you know, very similar to Le Tour kinda stuff…)

It’s a cell bikes X1 Classic. It’s nice and big with good running gear for good distance rides like to Cronulla and back once or twice a week (60kms each ride).

So look out world! This’ll help keep the fat away!

My iPod: Stolen!

Someone stole my 6 year old Gen 3 iPod out of the Nimbus this afternoon… just walked on by and took it. Didn’t take the cables, or empty the glove box or take the spare change, or the power drill or the extension lead and grinder, just the iPod.

ipod stolen!

ipod stolen!

Sure I left all the windows down and the iPod on display in the centre consul… And Pete has warned me about known offenders in the area… but I refuse to accept fault for this! Why should I blame myself when someone else breaks the law?? I didn’t steal, they did.

It’s a sad state of affairs when the innocent are blamed for the misdemeanors of others. I bet an insurance company would blame me for not locking my car or winding up the windows… but hey, reality check, I’m not the thief here…

Anyway, the battery was dead and it was old… I’m hoping for a new iPhone soon! Woot!

The most inconvenient thing is that I don’t have Pearl Jam on play 24/7 in the car now…

Avatar. Saw it last night. It drew me in. I liked it.

I didn’t have great expectations of this movie, given what I already new of the story line, but I was suprised at how much I enjoyed it. My brother reckoned it was worth the price of admission just for the visuals, and he’s probably right.

Really, my only big hang up is the name of the precious mineral which is really the catalyst behind the story… They called it “unobtainium”. This is all a little John Bunyan/Pilgrim’s Progress for my liking…

Why not just go completely obvious and call the main characters Evil Villian, Hero, and Love Interest? Dumb.

Anyway, I’d go see it at the movies if I were you. Fairly spectacular.

impresionante!

Apparently this cost $300 to make and the dude has been offered $30M from Hollywood to do what he wants! I can’t imagine that the $300 included software or editing/shooting time, but still very impressive!

Some Christianese…

So I’m putting together our quarterly newsletter/paper for our church (it’s called the Chronicle and you can see past versions here), and I need to put some light hearted stuff on the back page. My idea was that I could put some Christianese terms on the back like the ABC702 Dags Dictionary… but I need a little help…

One term particular to Christians at All Saints Petersham is

  • Bazzism (adj.) – Those phrases or mannerisms common to the rector of All Saints Petersham: Antony Barraclough, aka. Bazz. Eg. “How hard could it be?“, “In whom do you believe?” (preceding the saying of a creed), “You’re fired.

This is really the only idea I have at this stage, but I’m sure the creative minds that stop by thechroniclesof from time to time are much more witty and inventive…

I go to print on Thursday, so get creative people!

Toothpaste (or lack thereof…)

We’ve been missing toothpaste in our house for about a week now… and before you recoil in disgust at our dental hygiene, we have still been brushing our teeth… just without the paste…
A dentist once told me that toothpaste does nothing for your teeth except make the experience more pleasant, ie. the brushing bit is what matters.
But thank God for toothpaste because brushing your teeth without is foul! Like brushing your teeth with partly digested food that’s been left out to ferment for 12 hours.
I’m buying more toothpaste today.

Evie Blog

From Evie:

I had a great day today with Grandpa. We went for walks, had apricot chicken for lunch, and I did a massive sloppy poo in the afternoon (I love dropping those ones on Grandpa!).evie_grace_20091028_007

Tonight dad tried to feed me dinner but he doesn’t realise that I can feed my damn self <distant voice from background> “Damn. Evie who taught you to speak like that?” Sorry Dad. Anyway I’m a big girl now I can feed myself. I’m a bit slow at it, and I often miss my mouth, so dad does come in handy when I’m getting hungry and impatient. dad doesn’t seem to realise that food time is not all about eating… there’s so much more to appreciate… you need to engage all the senses to get the full experience. That’s why I put the food in my hair, in my eyes, up my nose, and rub it through my clothes. I try to make dad appreciate it by flicking the food on him, but he’s just thinking about “cleaning up” and his “precious” clothes… Adults are so one dimensional! It’s not a good meal until you tasted and worn your food.

Anyway, bath time now.

by-yeeee.

Cold freckle…

Being a leisurely Sunday with no youth group on, I decided to take a newspaper with me to the can and do a bit of reading under the impression that the can might be a place conducive for that sort of thing… but it’s terrible!

I don’t know how people read on the can… The cold freckle and the hard plastic impression on the my bum cheeks was enough to finish me off… No sir. Reading is for the lounge, the hammock or the comfy chair. The lou reading for me.

Incidently, how many words are there for anus? Freckle, Jaxi, Date, Bunghole, Clacker…?

Or, even, how many words are there for toilet? Lou, Can, Dunny…?
