I just loved the picture and had to use it, it's beautiful and I think I would like to incorporate it into a theme some time. Time seems to be one thing I have little of lately (I think that is an oft-repeated statement from me!). I spend a good hour reading all the feeds I subscribe to, I'm up to 51 and they just keep coming. Google Reader has turned out to be an excellent tool for gathering everything into one spot and has extra features that I find quite handy, like sharing stories with friends, and adding stars to favourite articles. Then there's Twitter and Friend Feed, keeping up with the people I follow is nearly impossible, and I wonder why I even bother, but I do come across some interesting articles that would normally go under my radar. Then there's email. I have that pretty well under control now since I've switched to GMail to take care of all the spam. Occasionally I go through the spam to see if there's something there that shouldn't be, but it's rare. I'd recommend it to anyone with a spam problem.
I just upgraded to the newest Movable Type release that is now better than ever. MT 4.2 has incorporated the Community Pack and the Professional Pack into one package called Movable Type Pro. It used to cost to use those additional services, but they're now free for personal use. I haven't had a chance yet to really check it all out. Some of the social networking features I use on Toni Hambilton Online, it's a blog I set up that just gathers all the things I do on the web and lists them, like when I save a page or add tweets (use Twitter). It's easy to maintain because I don't do anything after it's set up. The best sort of site.
On a personal note, I've been busy. Carly worked 3 nights over in Wagga last week and it meant driving her over and picking her up. Thursday night I stayed over there and visited both Lauren and Emily. Friday I organised a lift over for her with a girl I work with who lives in Wagga, then drove over later to bring her home. Saturday night I drove over twice, and that was after driving to Tumut and back with Alex for football. All in all, alot of driving (and petrol). You do what you have to do, as the old saying goes. She's totally rapt to be getting wages. First thing this morning she logged into NetBank and lit up like a lantern when she saw how much money had gone in. I'm seeing a much more mature Carly lately. The Year 10 exams will be starting soon and she'll really have her hands full then.
Work has been very busy this week too. Councillor elections are being held next month and nominations closed on Wednesday, so there was lots of faxing being done. It's business paper week as well, and it's a big one. The photocopier will be tied up all morning tomorrow. I feel like I've had a productive week, and have caught up on a few jobs that were hanging around. But I'm tired. I haven't been to the gym for a few weeks now, there's always something else I have to do. Starting next week I'm getting back to the routine I had, and Monday and Wednesday nights will be gym nights. I do too much sitting at computers not to go!
