the weekly maelstrom

so, i've just emerged from the weekly maelstrom that is the weekly newspaper that we produce here in gtown (shoppa). kind of chows up my whole monday and tuesday (and most wednesday mornings), but it is fun and its also very liberating being part of such a small team that produces a product with such huge influence in this town. 'why don't you ever blog about shoppa?' bellowed mike (my boss), which is probably the reason why i've finally posted something on the subject. its been amazing being part of the paper (for over a year now - and no, i wasn't paid to say that), and i'm convinced that one day i'll write something quite decent and sizeable about the whole experience.

on the other hand, part of this newfound determination to blog links slightly to one or two of the projects that i said in my previous post i had up my sleeve :) i've made some headway there (and now even own yet another .co.za domain name). hopefully, i'll be ready with at least one of these ideas by the time term 3 starts (got that nice gap after festival...)

lastly, you may be confused as to what value 'test 4' has (the post immediately before this one)... well, it was the first time that i managed to successfully post via e-mail from my cellphone (a motorola v600, incidentally). so, i've decided to leave it up to brag a bit (the technology took forever to set up - and entire morning of fiddling in fact). this is the first of many posts via phone that i'll make in future (its so much easier!)

what made my day today: the promise of star wars 3 later (yes, finally)

now listening to: the cd in my car (well, i wish i was anyway - does the noise in my head count?)...
