I haven't blogged in a while, so there's lots to say. On Wednesday I finished my last scum-brush - another wonderful invention from Japan (I wouldn't know how to google for that one, so I'll just explain what it is). A scum-brush has a small plastic handle with a wire at one end with bristles on it to get in to those small nooks-and-crannies between your teeth. We got a packet of them when we were last in Japan, and they've finally come to an end. Cruelly enough, when I went to the Dentist today she told me that I will need to shell out $2000 to fix up my teeth. So I've lost my last scum-brush and my teeth are a mess! Oh well, c'est la vie.
Last Saturday we went up to Lake Coleridge to do country witnessing. I wouldn't say it was a ground-shattering experience but it was nice to get out into the countryside and enjoy the scenery (even though it did hail while we were out there). BTW if you are out that way, I would definitely recommend the Hororata Cafe - they do splendifirous icecreams!
I also spent most of today working on a LinguaPlone site for a customer (I'll unveil it soon). In the process, I did learn that there is a 'settings' tab in formulator that allows you to specify that the form is encoded in 'UTF-8' which will allow you to enter Japanese/Korean/etc characters! Cool, ay. I've also started a 'Techie Stuff' section on this site where I'll chuck any howtos or other helpful stuff I find out during the course of my work/playing around.
