Rabbit
Shadow's delightful and friendly and still mostly litter trained. He enjoying playing with hair, ariel manuvers, high-speed laps around difficult obsticles, and bananas.

Work
Gmail has started at last. First invoice is away and coding has begun. Oddly enough, I still haven't managed to get out of the requirements documentation. I'm now in the process of designing the stats reporting system (seem familiar?).

Open Source
F::Q is way overdue for a new release, with plenty of new code having been submitted a number of old bugs fixed up. After this release I'm looking at changing the way we distribute the package and supporting files. Most of the "quotelets" can be distributed and upgraded seperately, which will make bugfixing and maintainence easier (don't need to release the entire package whenever the ASX change their website).

Desperately want time to work on the work-tracking system for Obsidian. I estimate that I need about a 180 hour day to clear out my backlog of higher-priority tasks. Argh.

Gardening
Have a 1/2 share mulcher with our neighbours. Have mulched stuff in yard, but need to mulch more. Now have more than 20 fruit trees and vines, including:

• Lemon tree;
• Double-grafted orange tree;
• Lime tree;
• Mandarin tree;
• Tangello tree;
• Medlar tree;
• Vanilla persimonn tree; (gotta catch 'em all)
• Starfruit tree;
• 2 fijoas (spel? aka pineapple guava);
• 1 yellow cherry guava;
• 1 strawberry guava;
• Loquat tree;
• 3 plum trees (including blood plum);
• 2 apple trees;
• Apricot tree;
• Peach tree;
• Pomegranet tree;
• Red and Black passionfruit vines;
• Male and female kiwi fruit.

I'm just looking forward to them all fruiting. :)

Homebrew
It's all benno's fault. Have brewed up 20l of "Coopers Sparkling", and have 20l of home-made lemonade in the fermenter now. That the beer was drinkable both warm and flat has much to be said for its quality.

Business
Obsidian is happy and still turning a profit.
