Eugenics and Procrastination

Published on June 6, 2005 1 Comment Tags: , , , . Post made from or about Home .

If you’ve read the subject of this post/email, I’m sure you’re wondering what eugenics and procrastination could possibly have to do with each other. Or, you may be wondering what eugenics is! (I assume we all know what procrastination is!) For those of you who need some SERIOUS educating, or … just want something to procrastinate with, check out this link:

Anyway, Eugenics is what I’m writing an essay on at the moment. As if two exams in one day (Wednesday) aren’t enough, I have an essay due! How fun for me.

So, why am I writing this (if it’s not clear enough already)? To procrastinate. And, I suppose, to make sure you’re all aware of what the fruits of my procrastination have been over the last few weeks (amazingly, I’ve still managed to get some study done as well).

If you’re getting this by email, then come visit my updated site - http://sobriquet.net.

If you’re reading this at the site, then, I suppose you already know that it’s changed!

The usual photo gallery is available - with all the old photos and lots more new ones. Most of the other parts of the site are still here, too (but, looking a lot nicer!).

If you want to drop me a line, feel free to add comments to any of the posts, and/or photos.

Anyway, that’s enough from me for now. Back to work I go…

WordPress Update

Well, it’s exam time again - and guess what that means? Yes! I procrastinate and do some work on my webpage!

Well, what do we have today? Quite a major update - I’ve been getting a little sick of e107 (the CMS I was using to run the site), and finally decided to take the plunge and try out WordPress. Well, needless to say, I like it. Granted, there aren’t quite as many features, but - the backend is MUCH nicer, and it’s a lot more customisable.

In case you haven’t noticed, this change has also meant a big theme change! The image at the top of the pages is a small bit of a photo I took a year or so ago. The full northcote sunset photo is also in the photo gallery, as are most of the others, in the Richard’s Favorites category.

I’m wanting to make this site a bit more than just my day-to-day photo album, and I want to make a bit more of a show of some of my favorite shots - so I’m going to work on ways to make the “Richard’s Favories” section a bit more prominant. I’m also hoping to get around to recording more of my music, and making that available on this blog (we’ll see how that goes - I’m sure you all know how little I do when exams are over!)

Also, for now, the guestbook has gone - if you want to leave comments (and, please do!) you can still make comments on photos or posts.
