tcpipcheshirenoir cracked it at me at the length of my posts. In a futile attempt to please everyone I’m going to try shorter posts, but more often. El-jay cut won't work because I feel my posts are abbreviated enough already.
Thursday at Borderlands; backups, fixed a dodgy aDSL connection and mucked up a restore on the proprietary database system they use. Finished hacking out the final elements of a webserver for several hundred sites late on Friday. On Saturday, started sysadmin work for RDBMS. Hoping to hear back from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kimeros about outsourcing some of the web development work soon.
Earlier on Saturday convened Labor for Refugees (Victoria) with Pamela Curr from the Greens speaking about some of the terrible legal norms that are now embodied in the immigration act under the title "Human Rights Overboard". Some thirty people in attendance, a good turnout. New black and gold t-shirts were very popular, internal ALP and external public campaigns well underway. State Conference is coming up soon, we intend to make a bit of a show.
Just returned from the Unitarians, where Florence Wathen gave an excellent reading on The Origins of Mother's Day. Read all about it – it's a day of recognising the activism of mothers against war and slavery. Afterwards, Elizabeth Young gave a presentation on her recent visit to a leprosy hospital in central India.
Ironically, because the church is too democratic and their committee meetings go too long, I missed a Mother’s Day picnic withseverina_242 and family.
Have recently received and read Hero Wars and will review soon. In short, it is a work of flawed genius. Latest episode of Ten Thousand Islands has begun, based around the Indonesian myth of The Queen of the South Sea.
That's it for three and half days. Is this short enough?

I like the idea of using 16pt Arial. No more squinting at the screen!

But yes, I'm a typeface bigot as well. And a design bigot. If a blind person with brain damage and paralysed on their right-side using a 2400 baud dial-up modem attached to a PDA and lynx as their browser can't access the information on site, it's a not a "real" website.
Information for all.
