Insane. I’d never heard of that before this weekend when Corvo showed us the entire Portal game. I log on to my gmail this morning and the first thing I see is “The cake is a lie”.
They’re after us!

It’s weekend, well really my ‘big’ vacation of the year seeing as our little adventure in the US cost me the rest of my vacation days. This weekend will be spent relaxing, being a translator during my wife’s language exam, going to the beach if the weather permits, working on my big idea for my …

Apparently their printer support …

Weekend plans?
Looking outside I think this is going to be an indoor weekend. It’s raining quite badly.
I’m looking forward to some chill time, messing with Yichi’s gorgeous V5 theme which I hope to adapt as my own, and update with templates for the new WordPress gallery code. Next to that maybe look at some Beijing Olympics …
