17th June 2005 New jobs, as before, changing roles and an inherent insanity I think keep me going. A new fiction work, progress on the Untitled story and more work with Sebastien are all occuring. Of these, only the new tale is available via the Fiction pages, and that page has been re-worked a little. Oh, and by the way? I know this site is ugly and needs another update, but keep off my back. I'm an artiste! LOL Love ya, Ado 01st June 2005 A world of changes happening in my life, new jobs, new roles, changes in all kinds of stuff. My writing has suffered. Finally, after six agonising months of work, a new chapter of Sebastien's Sorrow is available. Go over and have a look! Ado 14th November 2004 Been working too hard, but nobody cares, and nobody wants to hear it. New fiction for Sebastien's Sorrow is up. Ado 07th October 2004 Either someone is exceptionally lucky, or knows how to plead in a pleasing manner. You know who you are. The next chapter of the Un-named story is also now available, follow the Fiction links to view it. Ado 07th October 2004 OK, something in my mind burst, and a new torrent of words has been uploaded. A new fiction project has begun. This one is slightly different from the current, and does not intersect the same story arc. It's just something that has begun to force its way like a putrescent toadstool from the frequently infertile soil of my mind. Visit the Fiction page to see the latest offering. Ado 03rd August 2004 Nothing too exciting again this time, although I'm realising how long it has been since I've added anything to this site. A new chapter has gone up, so please go ahead and read it. Production has started on the next chapter already and I have a surfeit of ideas zipping around up in my head again, so watchout! Winter has, of course, limited my actions somewhat and I haven't been as exciting as I would otherwise like to be... POD has continued well, and I encourage others to toodle along and have a look, it's been a lot of fun so far! Ado 28th May 2004 Here we go again! I'm writing more of the story, so look forward soon to a new chapter being available, don't forget to remind yourself of what has gone before in the Fiction pages! It won't be long, I swear! As an aside, I've been burgled, and a large amount of expensive stuff was taken, uninsured, it has not been replaced. Sadness. On a more happy note, a couple of friends have got their co-operative juices flowing and have created a local site for crazy people to get together, organising events of fun and daring for mutual fun. If you're about the Sydney area, log in to PodEvents.Com and come join us, something on almost every weekend! If you're unlucky, you might even get to meet me! (If you DO meet me, make sure to tell me how much you hate my fiction!) Ado 21st January 2004 Well, that took much longer than I thought it would, I guess it's true what they say about Christmas being the busiest time of year! I've barely had time to scratch myself over the past few months. Yet here I am again, with another update. The new chapter of the Fiction is now available, and free for you all to read. I know some of you have already seen some of it, but now I'm working on Chapter 6! Yay! Anyway, have fun and let me know what you think! Ado 21st October 2003 Another update folks! Be sure to force-reload all the pages you might have viewed before, as I've made some sweeping changes to a large portion of the site. The Fiction pages have all been updated with new graphics that limit the space for text, "columnising" it, making it a bit easier to read. You've no doubt noticed the new Home page and a few other pages have been updated as well This marks a bit of design change, as up to now I've been trying to focus on the content and not so much the artistic design. Now, I've spent ages designing this last update, so if it's really really crap, Mail me using the link to the left. Comments always welcome, flame mails sometimes welcome. New Fiction coming soon, I'm about one half way through the next chapter! Ado 23rd September 2003 Wowee! I'm back from Peru, where I went on a trek along the Inca Trail! Shit it was hard! Had a great time and my partner, Jay, came along as well as my father (a damned fit old coot he is too!). We all managed the trek, which was 4 days of hiking up and down the Andes along the Inca Trail, all the way to Machu Picchu, and boy, was it worth it! I took a stack of photo's, of course, 200 in all, and I've uploaded the 51 best to my Photo Archive for you all to see. I'm not sure how long they'll all remain, as I'm not sure I can afford the hosting disk space for them all, or too many more, but they are good, if I do say so myself. The trip consisted of a flight to Santiago, Chile, an abysmal stopover in the Airport there, for 8 bloody hours and a connecting flight to Lima, Peru, where we stayed for one night. Next morning off to Cusco, at 3300 m above sea level, where we suffered Altitude Sickness and stayed for 3 nights. Then a 5-day, 4-night trek to Machu Picchu, with one day there to explore, gorgeous! Flew back via Cusco for one night, Santiago for one night, and bac to good old Aus. Very glad to be home. In the meantime, look up the Photo's and let me know what you think! 12th July 2003 Well, I've finally got around to writing up a bit of a log, a bit of an update. It's about bloody time too huh? I'm not much of a conversationalist, especially when I get the feeling nobody is listening, but here's a bit of an idea what's happening... Updated most pages with a bit of a border, didn't take long as I don't have too many pages. It's a pretty horrid border isn't it? Tell me if it's REALLY crap! Modified a few typos in the fiction archive, and fixed a few grammatical errors as well. These pages kinda flew straight from brain-to-web with not much editing in the middle, so flame me. Got a few plans for the story, and few weird and wonderful ideas flitting around in my head, so when I get some motivation to write them down on a better media than paper-napkins I suppose I'll publish them. I apologise for the delay guys, it's been painful at work. (I mostly document crap at work, and that reduces my need to splurge when I get home...) Apart from that, not too much happening.... mail me, somebody, please! 02nd July 2003 The website has been up for about two or so months in any acceptable form now, and I've had a little bit of traffic. Not much, but some... It's interesting to see where you all come from! Of course, everyone's so quiet, and not willing to write to me *sigh*, so I know so little about you all. If anybody felt like enlightening me, I'd be intrigued... Would a web-forum help? I suppose it might make it easier, and more immediate to plonk a comment in right then and there... I'll have to consider it. Got a few things happening, and a few things to add at some stage, a color and design upgrade wouldn't go astray, and a way to make the naratives easier to read would be good. Watch this space! 01st June 2003 Welcome to the BLOG guys, nothing exciting to report at this stage, but just you wait! Mail me, I'd love to hear from you.
