TWO PEOPLE, one MALE, one FEMALE, lying on a DOUBLE BED. It is A SUMMER NIGHT, and no lights are on inside THE APARTMENT, though LIGHT filters through the BILLOWING CURTAINS from the STREET OUTSIDE. The CAMERA zooms in from the door, taking in the scene. They are TALKING, IN SOFT WHISPERS. There is a [...]

Updated WordPress to 2.0.4, so let me know etc if there are any issues. Will be in Melbourne next weekend & the following Monday because we get a Bank Holiday in NSW that day, and, funny that, I’m working in a bank :D Score! So yeah, hopefully may meet some people at some point. It [...]

Hey guys, Had an attack of spam recently (100 spam in one day) so I’ve chucked in a tougher spam catching system (Akismet).

One week off. I promise myself that, once a year. I don’t know if I’ve already taken it off this year, but it seems like it’s about time for it. I’m going to deaddictify (real word!) myself from the net, focus back on other things. No blogs, no IM, no… no four hours in front [...]
