Beach, books, BBQ, beer, body-surfing, bairns
We’re off to the beach house for a few weeks. That means rock-pooling, reading, rolling around with the kids in the surf, mountains of seafood, deciding whether Chardonnay really is the new Sauvignon Blanc and afternoon siestas.
There’s lots to read (Hawk Wings Greatest Hits 2006, Getting started with Hawk Wings and more) and a fat list of plugins and addons, full of things to play around with, while I’m gone.
Last year, I said I would take a break. But I broke down after two days and kept posting over the wonky dial-up connection at the beach.
This year I am determined to be stronger. Well, that is to say, someone I know very well is determined that I will be stronger.
Thanks for a great year. Thanks for reading. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for donating.
Have a most excellent Christmas and the finest of new years.
I’ll be back on 8 January. I’m looking forward to it.

Hey, you go to a beach house with a phone in it?
I took my laptop (just so I could download the thousands of photos after I took them!), and since there was no phone, there was no internet.
I almost drove around looking for unsecured wireless at some stage. I believe the young hip folk call it “war-driving” :)

I’ve toyed with the idea of “war-driving”, but the wife has given it a big thumbs-down :(

Does anyone know how to change the start-up mailbox in Mail? I have created a Smart Mailbox for all of my unread messages and would like to see that (instead of the inbox) when Mail starts.
