Time for a spring clean, even though it’s nearly the end of summer. This is a theme called freshy. I was a sucker for the shininess! I’ve had a bit of a play with the colours, but it needs some more customising, when I have more time. [update] Sorry Christian! Let’s remember the maxim about […]

Dear reader, Forgive the boring tech update, but… If your blogroll or newsfeed is still pointing to hypertext.rmit.edu.au/~burgess, please update it to https://creativitymachine.net (blog) or https://creativitymachine.net/feed (RSS feed), cos one day not too far in the future I’ll be deleting everything from the hypertext server, including the .htaccess redirect that is automagically making it look […]

Now that I’m back from the UK, and then back from Melbourne, and about to go even more into overdrive: time for a redesign. Naturally. That is, it was time. I didn’t have time, but did it anyway. Thoughts?

I only discovered this when viewing it from a PC on campus. So, dear readers, can you leave a comment if it looks wrong from where you […]

If you’ve manually added my RSS feed to your aggregator, please update it to this one. Or, if you use bloglines: This has to be the end of the geek talk for today!

OK, here’s a quick and dirty version of my brand new WordPress blog. That banner image is just something I whipped up, there are things that really irritate me about this template (just hover over the title of this post, for example) that I need more CSS nightshift time on. Took me a while to […]
