Just a quick one to share some great posts on people’s sites I’ve read lately.

It’s been one week since installing WordPress as my blog engine, and I’ve tweaked the source, reskinned and renamed it.

After a long and arduous labour, Glass Onion gives birth to the new Cement Australia site.
So I’ve got a bit of a long weekend happening at the moment. Monday off for a day in lieu for doing crazy hours at work. Anyway, going to have a big day all over town tomorrow.
