Well - I submitted an abstract to the linux.conf.au call for participation to do a tutorial on Inkscape. And I encouraged one of the lead inkscape developers, Jon Cruz, to also make a submission. He tells me he did! Which is very W00t!
But also reduces the chances of having my own tutorial accepted.
I have 3 blogs.
That is all.
I finally got around to bloging about and uploading my inkscape talk slides to my biz site Creative Contingencies - http://www.cc.com.au/inkscape-talk
Also included the refs at the end of the talk - so it's a handy ref I can point people to - also went to the trouble of teasing out the various download links seeing as inkscape is truly cross platform and available for windows, mac and a bunch of different linux distros.
Strange. Earth. Life.
... the sky outside was grey. brown dried plane tree leaves hang in the branches. nice contrast. look again - the grey is bluer now. fog lifts. grey lifts to blue. and sun breaks through.
awakening - pooh bear - tao of pooh, ekhart tolle, power of now, a new earth, jung, deep-ecology - striving for perfection, finding there is none. the flaw gives context to beauty. Stop. notice. breathe. notice. smile.
I'm sitting in Roland's session on Web 2.o bling at the 2008 conference for ICT in
Education Victoria (ICTEV), Like VITTA this teacher association is focussed on supporting teachers use of Info and Comms tech in schools for learning and teaching.
A week or so ago I put out a call to some of the owners of the LCA XOs to ask if I could borrow their machines to show to teachers at the conference.
Huge thanks to all of you who came through and agreed to help out.
Climate Change, Energy Crisis, Food Crisis.
Forced to stop watching the 2020 summit proceedings because of particularly bad TV reception (north and west melbourne, known bug) and equipment failure - I went back to the more interactive machine of the web - and decided to blog instead.
In the lead up of the 2020 summit I've put most of my energy into the open tech side of things, open source software, open knowledge - but I'm just as deeply passionate about the issues of climate change, and indigenous realities.

Hmm nothing but twitterings here for days. That's not ideal.
