hola

I am currently recovering from the Spain wedding / vacation. Sorry for the lack of posts since I got back on Friday night. Recovering means I accidentally takes naps in the afternoon after walking around like a zombie at work all day.

First of all, let me publicly thank Andy and Veronica for being the catalyst that brought me and my friends to Spain for a week. It was absolutely incredible. The best wedding (9 hours long, plus after-drinks) I have ever attended, with the best food, in the most beautiful place I have ever seen in person. Thank you.

I loved the hamon. Mine and yours.

I took over 1200 photos over the course of the 9 days I was away. These include mountainside villas in Elorrio, the Guggenheim in Bilbao, little lizards in Durango, titties in San Sebastian, and Gaudi in Barcelona. I have been through about 800 picts so far, and the task of sorting, selecting, photoshopping, and uploading grows more tiresome by the second. I don’t know how or when I will finish, but I am trying hard. As usual, only about 10% of my photos are decent, and only 1% pretty good. I suspect I’ll post about 3% and try to hide my mediocrity as best as is possible on Flickr. For now, this is a shot of the mountains in Elorrio, a small town about an hour west of Bilbao where the wedding took place. The wedding hall / bar / restaurant is called Mendi Goikoa, and is absolutely amazing.

On another front, I’ll be motivating myself to make some changes around here very soon. I’m not a designer and therefore my ability is limited. But I have some ideas and I plan on finding a way to make them happen. You might have noticed my sidebar was broken for a while and the page looked all messed up. It seems that Eric Anderson’s Del.icio.us Integrator plugin finally crapped out completely. Luckily I realized that Del.icio.us now provides functions for doing the exact same thing directly using their Linkrolls, without the need for a Wordpress plugin. So I switched and it seem to be working well. Even the RSS is working again.

OK, that’s it for now. I hope to have some photos and stories and stories soon, and a redesign soon after that. In the meantime, watch the sidebar for new links because they are very easy for me to add…

    Ah, the prodigal lens has found its owner.
    More green saturation, STAT!
    The clouds are simply perfect.

    So jealous.
