By now you would have heard that the Indonesian Pulp&Paper mills have resumed logging the rainforest in which endangered orangutan's have their habitat.

Photo-MeetUp, 31st May, Adelaide CBD

Around 2am this morning I had a moment of brilliance. It's taken 3 hours of work to ensure the idea works properly in both IE8 and Mozilla Firefox. And now it does! It's not easily noticeable, unless you've lifted the hood on the HTML and CSS on my personal web site previously ... but the... Continue Reading →
