Signal Grey

So long time no write. It’s been busy times for Anita and I. Both work and play. The boat has had a bit more use (that big snapper is still eluding us though) and we have made a couple of trips to the snow at Mt Ruapehu which is having an excellent season. We are planning another trip this weekend and I have taken some days off to fill in with snow boarding aswell. Might have some photos to share next week.

The following week will be busy at work with a short duration shutdown. So I’d best make the most of the time off whilst it lasts.

We’ve been busy considering our options for the coming few years. Basically we can head overseas to take up assignments there or stay on here for another ~3 years and tackle some other goals. Seems the preference is for the later at this stage though there’s no pressure to make a decision until the end of the year.

Anita has written an article on latest fishing expedition. Based on the success of that trip we are planning a dawn fishing expedition tomorrow! Long weekends rock!

Urimod is a small perl script to modify URIs in HTML. More specifically it is a tool to change URIs/URLs from mixed type (i.e. relative or absolute) to another (relative to document root). Urimod can change URIs in a whole directory tree of html files or in a single file. It is most useful for ensuring a consistent URI format across a website. Urmod can change URIs in anchor, image or link html elements.

Check out the urimod page for more info.

In one of my earlier posts I refered to the web.archive.org (“Way Back Machine”) archive of my old site. I found this quite an interesting experience looking at my old sites and seeing how they had changed over time and it got me thinking about how other, higher-profile, web sites have changed over time.
