Well now back from Castaway island in Fiji and Im back into work. Man it was amazing, great place to take a vacation, I highly recommend it. Its probably reasonably priced for you yanks out there too.

Awsome scenery

You cant really see it but there are hundreds of small fish behind me

A very dangerous NZ fish not normally found in Fiji but my Dad was lucky to snap this shot of the rare white tee-shirted puffed checked xsiveious fish

After such a nice relaxation period it pretty hard to get ramped up back into work, but there are many little projects on the go. There has been some advances with Videmo.co.nz. My mobile phone multimedia message to website gallery project I made for a bit of a play. But instead of static websites it heading more towards the live area, More to come I promise.

Also on the radar at the moment is keeping an eye on tickle.co.nz (the ruby on rails and flash website we released before I ran away on holiday). We asked for feedback from the users and we got it, although alot of people seem to check common curtasies (spelling?) at the door when sending an email in the heat of the moment. It can be frustraiting sometimes and opens my eyes for when I make comments on others websites. I also posted on a couple of the local ruby on rails news groups and got some great feedback (thanks guys). The PDF engine is processing data from flash and creating purdy little print ready pdfs well. And I love the check out system each time I use it. Its one place I really like Ajax. When you have a page showing 300 images in your cart ready to be printed the last thing you want is to be refreshing the page with every change.

So with that I guess I had better get back to. Glad to be back with internet now though lol )
