A Quiet Night with Harold at the Abbotsford Convent
After the hectic week-and-a-half that has been Unforeseen Stories, I'm enjoying a quiet evening to myself on the grounds of the Abbotsford Convent, where Impro Melbourne keeps its offices and holds most of its training sessions.
Tonight, Jess is training along with the rest of the company's "Technique" group of up-and-comers in preparation for putting on a season of Harold beginning in July. Meanwhile, I've visited a couple of nearby geocaches following reports of a geocoin in the area and have now settled down in a quiet courtyard to partake of the peace and serenity (not to mention the Impro Melbourne wireless network).

Sunny Gets a Little Work Done
After a week on antibiotics, our guinea pig Sunny is at the vet today having a conspicuous growth removed from his abdomen. The bump is mysterious, but we expect him to be fine.
At home with Jess, Toffee seems lost without his big brother. The pair haven't been apart for more than an hour in their entire lives!
Update: Sunny's home and doing fine. He'll have a cool scar to show the ladies.

New Project: Pocket Pocket Query
As if I needed another project to occupy my spare time, I've launched a new open source project: Pocket Pocket Query.
From the project page:
A portable application for JavaME/MIDP-enabled devices (including most mobile phones) that enables you to browse an XML database of geocache information—in particular, the Pocket Query data generated by the geocaching.com web site—wherever you go.
Web site coming soon. In the meantime, marvel at this alpha screenshot, and read on for the full project description. -

Impro A Go-Go
The 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival is winding down, and for me at least it has been a festival to remember.
Having recently joined the ranks of Impro Melbourne's talented ensemble, this was the first Festival where I took to the stage! Joining on opening night the cast of Impro Melbourne's production of Smells Like a Song was a privilege … not to mention a blast!

Lame Mac User
I bought my first Mac yesterday—a spiffy, black MacBook. I've spent the first 24 hours with my new computer setting up various means of running Windows on it (Remote Desktop, Boot Camp, and Parallels). In the Mac world, I'm pretty sure that makes me very lame.
