I've been looking for a good Internet Radio station for years now and finally stumbled across one via Tom Lazar's blog. Not that I endorse all the music on their station but I do like what I've heard so far. I've discovered my work background music.

I've been working on migrating my blog from SimpleBlog to Quills for a little while now, and finally completed my migration script tonight! The steps I followed to achieve this are as follows:

1. Created a migrateSimple2Quills.py python script in my zopeinstance/Extensions folder (N.B. The script will create a new Quills instance in the root of your Plone site with an id of 'blog'. To change these defaults edit the quillsBlog variable in the script).
2. Created an External Method in the root of my Plone site with the following details
   Id: migrateSimple2Quills
   Module Name: migrateSimple2Quills
   Function Name: migrateBlog
3. After saving the External Method I went into it and clicked on the 'Test' tab at the top. This will migrate your SimpleBlog entries over.
   
4. Now go into the Drafts folder of your Quills blog (you need to be in the folder_contents view) and select all the blog entries and click the 'Change State' button. Then click Publish (N.B. You might also need to publish your Quills blog).
5. All done!
   

I'm currently recovering from food poisoning after spending most of yesterday with vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and tiredness. The food poisoning came on seemingly after I ate some day old rice we got from an Indian restaurant (needless to say I'm not going back there again). Today is just a recup-day and hopefully will be back to 100% by tomorrow.

We've been going for about a month now but we're both still really enjoying it, though I think Miho is much more motivated than I am. We're going to a night class every Monday night for a couple of hours from 5-7pm, and we're also going to a course organised by the Halswell Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses every Sunday - so double-dose! After we do our lesson on Sunday, we visit Chinese-speaking people in Christchurch and engage in a Bible teaching work. I think being able to practise by speaking to Chinese people is really helpful. The written side of the language is tough, but the language itself is relatively easy - I would recommend it as a language to try out!

In my cyber travels I stumbled across a Abandonware site, which amongst other things has available for download old games that me and my brother used to thrash, such as Double Dragon, and others. There's also a link to a DOS game emulator that will allow you to play them on your Windows PC. Enjoy!
