Shiny!
This is another of my attempts to do a Proper Home Page Like a Proper Grown Up Should Do. Mainly because I read somewhere that if you want to be a real writer you should have a professional site. Well, this site isn't professional, and I rather think that I would be better served actually writing something if I wanted to become any more real than I already am; on the other hand, constructing this site afforded me many hours of harmless fun and the opportunity to talk about my cats.
What you will find on this site:
Three of them, published under a Creative Commons Licence, and up for everybody to read, and for editors to fall in love with and give me lots of money to sell. Tikuka Station sold, after having been seen online, to Fiction, a French periodic SF magazine; Passing the Test was sold to the sadly now no longer published Farthing Magazine, and later shortlisted for the BSFA Short Story Award in 2007. Me was put online during the Great Technopeasant controversy, when one misguided luddite said in vibrant tones that people who put their work online for free where, what was the exact phrase? Oh yes: “webscabs” who were “converting the noble calling of Writer into the life of Pixel-stained Technopeasant Wretch.”
Not necessarily all that truthful. Not necessarily all that serious, either.
Some of my photographs, and other pages related to photography. I am still working on this section, and for now I only have a short tutorial that I put together one afternoon specifically because I had been asked how I achieved some effects. Also some reflections on Photography as tenderness.
What I would really like to do in this section in put up little collection of photos, maybe commented. This would happen in my copious spare time, I suppose.
A collection of stories of my cats, with photographs.
This site is all lovingly handmade, and all the code is written by hand, well OK, all the code not supplied by Drupal, with only the help of the fabulous BBedit, which you should definitely try if you write HTML on a Mac, and many enjoyable hours studying CSS Zen Garden, as well as Eric Meyer's CSS The Definitive Guide.
It is made on a Mac, with feline assistance by Zip.
