I haven't been posting new pictures to the site lately, nor postings, as having a baby is slightly incompatible with whittling away the hours in front of a computer. That aside, there are some changes coming to the site.

1. Migration of photo gallery to Flickr
This one will take a while but the goal is to put all the pics up on Flickr - better service, the software I use, Gallery, is mostly unmaintained and doesn't do a lot of the things I want it to.

2. Improve the site.
This theme sucks and is broken in some browsers. I also need to patch up to the latest release of the uber-CMS Drupal.

3. Better integration to the places I am active
Pull from Twitter (primarily) and Flickr (once activated)

All very exciting, most people won't notice a difference other than more frequent pics and a better looking (I hope!) site.

The lovely Drupal elves ate the (lengthy) post that I just typed up (some kind of autosave would be nice in Drupal, no?) so the synopsis of what I just typed is as follows:

- we now have faster internet so I am catching up on 6months of un-posted pictures
- we now have a BABY BOY, named Declan, who is making us work a lot harder than we thought could work with this little sleep (although that gets better/worse on a day by day basis)
- we have been somewhat trapped in the house by nasty cold weather and are getting cabin feverish. But thankfully we have TeeVee to entertain us while we play with the new BABY BOY!

Pics of recent 2k8 events are now posted - follow me!

We just got back from the hospital with a reel of baby ultrasound pics in our hot little hands. We are not sure of the gender but the little bugger sure didn't want to have their picture taken and they took a lot of angles to try and get some keepers.

Super cool to see that the little person has the proper number of limbs and such.

Today I did a tonne of garden work. We received a half a dumptruck load of dirt (volume = lots) and some of it was still frozen! Luckily, it was 28 - according to the deck thermometer, and most of it melted but still required great lengths of "FUN WITH WHEELBARROWS" preceded by "FUN WITH SHOVELS". Of course, I had to put the wheelbarrow together first which was "FUN WITH WHY DO I HAVE TWO LEFTOVER SCREWS".

I should note I am a little sunburnt from the 28 degree weather but the garden looks pretty kickass. I have decided to call it the Potato Mausoleum which will become pretty apparent once you see the picture & layout.

Before: & After

For those interested the "plots" in clockwise from the wheelbarrow/shed are:

• carrots, swiss chard, beets
• brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage
• potatoes
• potatoes
• rhubarb
• potatoes
• broccoli, red cabbage

Walter is the Mausoleum Guardian in the front there -- +5 to death by kitsch.

A late post but I finally have put up the photos that turned out from Kraussy & Christer's wedding over this past Thanksgiving weekend.

The indoor tent kept us nice and dry from the *very* high humidity in Duncan. It was still very fun and the band kept us dancing till about midnight. Funny how as you get older the parties shutdown earlier - something to do with babies I am sure.

Here is the link to the pics.

I have just finished a massive upload of pictures from Juneau, the Bike Relay, our drive down to Hope, our Groupymoon/Dawson City Music Float, and the wedding.

Sorry about the delay, but the pipe up here is quite skinny and it takes, literally, forever to upload pictures to the server. Then when you batch up a big overnight upload the server throws a time-out error and you get to start all over again.... I digress.

The links are below:

Enjoy. Post links to your pictures in the comments. There will be an update shortly on where you can post your pictures...
