Living religion

Regardless of the faith you may subscribe to, I believe this holds true in general. A religion not lived is all but talking – wasting oxygen.

True religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness, all one’s honesty.

Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
German-born Theoretical Physicist

Fortune favouring the brave

It was well worth the effort to stay up for the game and witness another historic moment for Australian soccer.

This morning’s (23 June) game was a pulsating affair from which Australia eventually emerged the victor – barely. Needing a draw going into the decisive match (a win is required from Croatia for them to remain in the World Cup) for Australia to proceed to the Round of 16 (first time ever!), it was a emotionally charged, see-saw affair which saw firstly Croatia leading, then Australia equalising, then Croatia scoring after a costly error from the Australian keeper. Then came the final equaliser when all four Australian forwards (of the 5 in the side) were thrown into the attack. In due course, Australia was rewarded for their “big heart”. Go Aussies!

Sub-dividing

As of last night, I have completed the process of transferring all of my Tango-related thoughts to a new blog. These entries will now reside on the subdomain tango.yyquest.net, accessible from navigation bar near the top of this page. Why? As this main blog slowly evolves, I wanted to have a better focus.

I can’t really say that the migration was that straightforward because there is AFAIK no mass-delete functions in :wp: for me to remove all entries in a given category, so I had to remove every entry manually. Secondly, there was an issue with erroneous comment-counts which either crept in somehow during previous upgrades or as a result of pingback spams. Anyway, everything is spanking clean now!

Taking photos: some thoughts

After my latest trip back to Canberra, a friend commented that some of the shots from the trip were very “me”. This made me wonder if I had really developed a “style” to speak of? Frankly, I had not never really considered this question before – I mean, counting from the day I acquired my first “serious” camera in the Nikon F50.

Being who you are

This has a certain Zen-like quality to it.

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.

St. Francis de Sales, 1567-1622, 17th Century Bishop of Geneva
