Just some stuff I want to share with you

Website updates

Gallery 2Google MapsWordPress

As you can see, I have been posting some messages over the last days. During the creation of the posts I have added an image gallery based on Gallery 2 and today I added a guestbook to the site.

The image gallery still needs a lot of work, but for now it allows me to upload my pictures and add them to the posts. Looks like I have broken the gallery - blog integration. When you click on a picture in the log, it should show a bigger/high res version… So far, I am not a big fan of this particular piece of software… But then, I have not put a lot of time in it either.

The gallery has some form of Google Maps integration, but I have had no time to work on that.

I will work on the Google Maps integration (not only for the pictures but also to show GPS tracks) over the next days.

It’s been a great day today. Although we had some light rain in the morning, the afternoon weather was fantastic. I walked along the river towards the Botanic Gardens.

Watching the news last night explained the showers and wind in Brisbane: cyclone “Hamish”. The cyclone is losing its strength but for the next few days we will keep the rain and wind. Luckily it’s not raining constantly, so I started my day with a nice walk along the river.

On my way to Australia!

The rain in Singapore has had a lot of effects. As you can read from my previous post, it is not pleasant to go outside. But if the sun does not show, the temperature drops to a nice 20 – 25 degrees level.

A rainy day in Singapore

Monday 9 March 2009
Singapore

As the title already suggests: today it rained in Singapore.

And you know what: it’s so wet that I can’t even get to the mall that’s across the road of my hotel (that’s about 50 meters or so) without getting wetter than when taking a shower. Another nasty effect: normally humidity here is high. I leave it to your imagination what happens when it rains here and the sun shows itself for 10 minutes. The locals have a solution: you stay inside where the air conditioner compensates for all that!

So did I. The only options available today are shops or museums. Or work on my website and have a relaxing day in the hotel. Drinking coffee or something more refreshing (Tiger it’s called over here) and do a whole lot of nothing. Well look at the site and you can figure out what I did today.

In a few hours I leave Singapore to fly to Brisbane. Australia here I come!
