First few days in Vancouver
By now I’ve been in Vancouver for a little over 50 hours and I’m liking it. We checked into our hostel at 3pm the first day and the rest of the day was spent wandering around waiting to go asleep. Not that we didn’t see anything, but we were tired after the flight.
The next day (also known as yesterday) we walked around town to get a feel for where everything is. We even went...

RewriteMap →

Updated sevengoslings.net
I decided that the “serious blog”-style page wasn’t for me. So now I relaunched sevengoslings.net as a small vanity-page and then move my ramblings here.
My initial though was to move all my old posts from SG to Tumblr, but after I read though my archive, I decided that I really didn’t like my old posts. So I decided not to.
But I did have a few pages that saw some...
Tumbling...
It apears I have indeed started to blog here at Tumblr instead of using my own hosted Wordpress..
Let’s see if that ups the posting-rate…
