More notes on v6
This post follows on from my previous one and mostly covers the changes I’ve made to the rest of this site. But before that, there was some interest in the WordPress plugins that I’m using:
- Configurable Tag Cloud (hoping to switch to Cumulus when it’s more customisable)
- Fuzzy DateTime (for the tooltips on
Presenting v6
Welcome to the 6th version of this site since its online debut 8 years ago.

Five random things
The countdown has begun: in a month’s time I’m relocating back to Cape Town after two and a half years in London. Bring it on!One great thing about 8mb broadband is that you can download random crap that you usually wouldn’t have the time or resources for, which is something I’ll have a tough time readjusting to.
