The Cabbage Patch

Here we go again

I’m trying a sort of photo project again.  Yes, I know my last two attempts failed.  I don’t care.  I laugh in the face of history!

This one is very much like last time - I’m trying to take at least one photo per day, every day, for as long as I can.  I’m also writing a post to accompany each photo, which you can find by clicking the photo and heading over to it’s Flickr page.  These posts might explain why I took that shot, or they might just be something I felt like saying.

I’ve set up a special page for these photos so that they don’t clutter up the front page.  Just click the Photo-a-Day link up top to see the latest shots.  You can also see the whole lot here, or you can check out the rejects for each day here.

We’re Simplifyin’

We’ve simpled things up here at The Patch.  The sidebar is now vamoosed, leaving only the juicy contenty goodness slap bang in the middle of the page.  The long-neglected forums page has also been banished, and we’d like to encourage comments on each post page.  There’s a new page up the top there to replace the only really useful element of the sidebar - click through to the "Archives" page for a breakdown of all the posts by date or category, as well as a nifty search function.

You’ll also notice a couple new ads around the place.  As the giant tower on the sidebar is gone, there will now be smaller ads at the end of some posts.  If these get too annoying, we can change them around a bit, but you really shouldn’t be seeing more than one ad at any time.

Love the newer, simpler page? Hate it? We’d love to get your feedback in the comments.

Haaave you met Ted?

Unless you’ve been chewing through your blubber reserves whilst hibernating on the distant ex-planet Pluto for the last few months, you probably know that the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has been on strike, and that negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have not been particularly successful.

I’m not going to rant about the strike just yet, but I will show you this video which fairly accurately sums up the situation the WGA is in with regards to negotiations:
