Word Up!

Hey! I just found this new Java-applet-site called Wordle. It lets you create works of art using typography and word frequency. All you need to do is provide a block of text, let the program generate the pattern of words, and tweak according to taste.

This being totally relevant to my interests, I naturally had to have a go. I cut and pasted a paragraph from Alice in Wonderland (courtesy of the Gutenberg Project). Click the picture to see it bigger at the actual site.

If you want to have a go, remember this: Anything you post on the site will stay there permanently, so don't go posting anything personal or obscene.
Have fun, and let me know if you create anything nice!

I Figured It Out!

Not much new to report here, except that it is absolutely stinking hot today! After months of teasing us with wet cold weather, the summer has finally come in earnest...

Oh, and there's a new section on the right - I finally figured out how to put up a banner-link list! It turned out to be so simple anyone with basic HTML coding experience could do it. smacks himself in the head

I'll be looking out for more banners from my favourite sites, so keep your eyes on that space!

EDIT: God, I totally forgot about the bushfire burning out near Yinnar and Boolarra... I will be posting some pictures of the view from our place tomorrow. smacks other side of head

Well, that's it. Hope you like it!
