Out of the Wood
Argh. Two weeks without the internet! How on earth did I survive? Well, alright, I saw plenty of the internet, but that’s not the point. The point is, it wasn’t on tap at all times. The point is, I couldn’t possibly have been paying much attention to ATR.

The short version of this post? The pictures from our trip to Canada have been relaunched with new spiffiness. The long version is a bit dull and details a n00b’s struggle with javascript.

More of the Same
I saw Ted Baillieu, new leader of Victoria’s liberal party, on the ABC news today. Really impressive fellow. I’ve never seen such dedication to sounding so completely neutral.

Just hold tight. Things might look a bit messy today. But hopefully, better, eventually.

New New Name
The votes are in and ignored, the decision is final. Grapefruit(s) no longer, this website is now:

Thought on Grapefruit’s new name continues apace, for the primary reason that if I’m to have any overlap at all where both urls work, it had better start soon. And I am glad to be able to tell you that we have made progress.

The Short List
Not that we won’t accept others, but a meeting was held and a short list drawn up. If everyone could nominate their favourites (and add new ones if you insist, oe provide variations on these themes) that’d be awesome.

Welcome to the Past
There’s lots of different ways to review TV. Over the years, we’ve had group reviews, we’ve had rants, we’ve had letters… It’s not usually hard to come up with something interesting when you’re watching something happen every week.

New Again
So, I was looking at the grapefruit statistics the other day, and I noticed something. Do you know, less than 1% of you have screens that are 800px wide?

You may notice a subtle change on the grapefruit pages. Well, all of them except these weblog ones.

And we’re Baaaaaaaaack!
Sorry about the downtime, folks. Well, sorry to those that noticed it. I’ve been using the time to sit around on my arse vaguely studying. “Vaguely studying” is when you’ve got all the study material in front of you, and occasionally you draw half a concept map, or attempt to summarise some points.

Swotting
Ah, what could possibly distract from the important task of writing essays and studying? Bearing in mind that these things must be accessible from the same places that I’m supposed to be doing work; i.e. my room.

Well, the switch from Movable Type to Textpattern, and merging of the blogs, seemed to go well.

Subtle Differences
Don’t panic. My weblog has not eaten all the other ones. I know it looks like that, but it’s only because I haven’t made a new graphic and chosen a name for this, the new group grapefruit weblog.

The Future
In the future, all the grapefruit weblogs will be combined into one, more frequently updated, weblog. Smaller posts may proliferate with interesting links.

2005
Welcome to 2005. Politically and internationally, things can only get better. Personally, if it’s half as good, I’ll be reasonably happy.

References
It’s important to cite one’s references, so I shall point out that the idea for the new touch-ups on grapefruit came from Mimicking Magazines at Standardice, which had a whole bunch of interesting CSS things.

Yes, I know, you’re all a bit bored of grapefruit redesigns, they happen every other week. But still, here’s another one for your enjoyment.

I love tax returns. Excitingly, I’m desperately close to not having any credit card debt any more. Just one more pay period… And then I can start gaining interest instead of paying monthly fees!

Holiday’s Over
Well, that was fun. I’ve achieved a lot since I last went to University. I’ve also spent a lot of time loafing. In the future, I’d like to work things so that I at least get paid for my loafing.

Since comments are getting used quite a bit, and we’re reaching over 20 per review, I think a revision of the comments system is in order.

Groovy
Saw Kill Bill Vol. 2 last night… Good, but nowhere near as rollicking and crazy. Kind of like a muted, thoughtful response to the first one.

Well, everything’s back to normal… except we lost a few comments and such. I’m afraid you’ll have to re-enter those manually if you want them back.

grapefruit v3.0
There’s, uh, been a few changes. There’ll almost certainly be teething problems, which will of course take me a while to get around to. But hey, enjoy it. Or hate it. Or be indifferent.

I managed to get the top of grapefruit to stay still in IE today, which is of course a vaguely impressive achievement.

Hey, look! We have a books section on Grapefruit finally! Though of course I’ve only reviewed a Doctor Who book, so it’s nothing particularly impressive.

After spending a rather irritating portion of yesterday rebuilding the whole fricking articles database for grapefruit, it was refreshing and enjoyable today to install MoveableType weblog managing software instead.
