When you live as far from the coast as I do, and you want to get those early shots at sunrise, you have to take potluck with cloud. Cloud is pretty much essential, without it you just have a boring shot of the sun reflected on waves. Its cloud that gives the sunrise and the sky its character. Without cloud, theres… well… nothing much at all. And so it was this morning, as I headed into town, I had no idea whether there was any cloud on the horizon at all. And, well… there wasn’t much.
Took myself around to the harbour side, Nobbys Light looks pretty decent with the sun coming up behind it
But, all in all, this morning was a bit of a dud. Coming back home, though, it seemed that the fog along the Wallsend flats was of sufficient opacity to get something decent…
And, of course, the black-headed Ibis were feeding down on the playing fields on Maryland Drive 
So.. thats my Saturday so far… more later or tomorrow, after a sunset run down the east side of the lake.

There’s a fog along the horizon… a strange glow in the sky…

Official press releases from both Vodafone and Singtel have revealed that not only will the iPhone be released in Australia soon, but that it will not be tied to any one network, as it has been in the USA. Additionally, cNet is reporting that Telstra will be the Third carrier. So that about ties it up for Oz.
Apparently those who have had the opportunity to play about with the verson 2 firmware SDK are also reporting finding indications in there that a 3G iPhone is just round the corner. Read more at Engadget
Anyone wanna buy a used and loved 2G iPhone? Going cheap

I’ve opened registrations again, because some people are being dumped in the spam queue by Akismet. A word to the wise spammer… if, as a spammer, you think that registering here will save you… it won’t. This is intended only to save genuine commenters, all spam generators will be a) deleted and b) added to my internal blacklist.

I regularly get hits on Hamarana from blog.siol.net, because that site (siol.net: a European multi-user news site which allows its members to have personal blogs) has chosen the very first theme I ever made for Wordpress, Deep Blue, to be a default theme for their users. Naturally I am very flattered, even more so because originally, I never bothered to place my details in the footer, and they have done that for me, and given credit.
So the thing is, I guess I am going to start contemplating themeing Wordpress again. A bit of a learning curve ahead, its changed a lot since I created Deep Blue and its ilk, and I’ve a lot more to learn about the structure, which has changed dramatically, and how to include Widget options. I may well begin by updating the existing themes (which I had thought lost, but rediscovered on a CD) to current standards.
