Off to Queensland

skyringSome random updates.
My Facebook application. I'm still at the stage of getting something, anything to work. I've found a web host, I've transferred a domain across, I can get the site to display basic HTML and a basic PHP output, I can even send some HTML to a FaceBook page, but actual interaction with FaceBook remains elusive. Can't say that the host I've selected is the best - a rather 90-ish series of windows gets spawned every time, with some very basic GUI elements hiding obvious UNIX commands. If I want to edit a file, I want to double-click on it, not have to select "Edit" from a menu.
Remember I had a couple of runners some weeks back? I tracked down the girls, who were innocent, hoping that they'd prevail on the boys. But they paid the fare themselves, sending me a lovely decorated card, along with a cheque. Bless them!
In a few hours I'm getting the kids and boarding a plane to Queensland. Kerri has to stay behind in winter Canberra, I'm afraid. The kids get to see their grandparents on the Gold Coast while I attend the Australian BookCrossing Convention, and then we all fly up to Rockhampton for a few more days for a family get together with my sibs and my increasingly frail mother.
So updates might be fairly sparse for a bit. I'm sure you'll all continue to have fun without me, and I'll read your blogs when I can. Some of you I'll get to meet again in the real!
