I’ve never been a big beer-drinker. When I grew my drinking legs it was with the help of cider — strong English cider — and gradually expanded to hard liquor based cocktails. I completely skipped beer and wine. In the last few years, though, I started tasting beers that Mike bought and sometimes even drinking [...]

If you aren’t reading this from a news reader you’ll notice I redecorated. Procrastinating, yes, but the re-theming has been on my mind for a while. So here it is! What do you think? I like the ability to see multiple posts on the front page and the dual sidebars. You may notice a few [...]

One of the domains I own, and have for a long time, is innerharbour.com (here’s a 2001 screenshot — man that page looks positively Jurassic now). Currently, subsites include my Unofficial Guide to Victoria and my new companion site, Around Victoria’s Inner Harbour. It’s also where Frugal Victoria started (as frugal.innerharbour.com) and since that site [...]

Yesterday, we gathered at InHub Coworking with about 40 other freelancers to kick off the inaugural FreelanceCamp Victoria. The small group had lots of ideas and lots of information to share — a dozen people pitched sessions and we mapped them all out, based on who needed the biggest room! Session topics ranged from freelancer [...]

Many thanks to @linuxchiq on Twitter for sharing a post from Librarian By Day which is focused on a TED talk by Eli Pariser about the danger of “personalized web results.” Here’s the talk: If you’re like me, you probably snapped to attention when the Eli showed the difference in two friends’ results for the [...]

Kiddo wanted to know how to add an image to her blog and it was a question that came up over and over at WordCamp, too so I decided to pull together a basic tutorial. It’s a bit long-winded but I hope you find it helpful! While it isn’t completely intuitive, Flickr offers a powerful [...]

Got the word this morning that we will be speaking at the next WordCamp Victoria in January 2011. I’m actually really excited! We had such a good time last May, especially in contrast with DrupalCon — both were about getting the most out of your blog/cms and yet Drupal was full of “experts” both real and [...]

I got into work and heard a co-worker going desk to desk in the cubicles nearby telling everyone, “Did you see? Cheryl’s in the newspaper!” This is how I found out that the interview we did last month had been published. Overall it’s a nice article — all about FrugalVictoria.com and some of the things [...]

Finally managed to revise my Haiku Miscellany book — turns out there was a typo in the subtitle inside the book! GAH! — I didn’t catch it with multiple readings and nor did anyone who saw my proof copy. It wasn’t until the person who catalogued my book pointed it out… at which point I [...]
