Another slideshow. One day I’ll get back to writing about things but sometimes it’s much easier to put heaps of photos up!

And the link to the album.

Here’s the slideshow …..

….. and the link to the album for the larger size shots.

Should be a busy couple of days down here in Geelong … we’re hosting Jayne’s side of the family: Me, Jayne, Peter, Christine, Jayne’s brother Greg, his partner Donna, their kids Nick and Ashlee, Donna’s Dad Dennis, Jayne’s other brother Paul, his wife Catherine and their kids Georgia and Lindsay. And Max, of course. We’re having a big roast lunch, then if anyone has the energy and inclination we might drive to the beach for a hit of cricket.

Watching Nick and Ashlee open their presents this morning was hilarious. Ashlee gets a bit carried away and more than once started ripping open presents for other people. Santa left a trail of red crepe paper through the house and clearly it was snowing at the North Pole as he left snow all over the place like last year. I’ll post some photos later today or tomorrow.

Jayne and I opened our presents last night and I have to mention the cool Nike+iPod system I bought her. You slip a sensor into a special hole in your runners, attach a receiver to your iPod Nano, then go running. It tracks your workout stats: time, distance, average speed and calories burned, and a voice speaks to you through the headphones when you’ve covered 1km, 2km etc. Then when you next plug the iPod into your computer the data is sent to the Nike+ web site, which graphs it all up nicely. It’ll be a really good motivational tool - I want one too (!) but it’s Nano only at the moment.

More soon.

I’ve just implemented a Wordpress plugin that serves up a mobile version of jayneandmarty.com if you visit the site on a mobile device. You won’t see it if you’re on a desktop, but you should see it if you’re on your Blackberry (Rob), iPod Touch, or mobile phone browser.

No special URL (despite what it shows in that screenshot) - just point your mobile device to jayneandmarty.com

Cool huh?! Give it a try and tell me if it works. Just make sure you’re on a plan that doesn’t charge you a fortune for data transfer.

I’ll do martinjy.com shortly.

Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spidey can.

First day of holidays yesterday and I’m into the gunky jobs. Cleaned out the moss- and leaf-filled gutters and fixed the busted downpipe at the other end of the house. Tried not to think about the two-storey drop while I was up there.
