Per the title, I've stepped down from Weasyl staff. Just waiting for the account permissions to be removed at the time of writing. It's purely for personal reasons - I'll continue to lurk on Gitter, but I won't be involved in day to day operations and it would be inappropriate to hold a staff title…
Canada, oh Canada! The aim of this trip is to do coast to coast by rail. Only going to Canada this year - will not be entering or transiting the USA on this trip. Stuff in italics isn't booked yet. As usual let me know if you want to grab a coffee or something. August 4 - 5: SYD/TPE/YVR (CI, J) Aug…
It's that time of the year again! Wasn't going to go overseas this year, but the price was right so I'm off to Canada! I'll be dropping in to Hong Kong, Cairns and Brisbane on the way back home. Note that I will not be entering or transiting the USA on this trip. July 30: SYD - MNL (PR, J) July 31:…
Well, looks like it's my turn for announcement duty. Keep an eye out - shouldn't be long now!
It's been entirely too long, but I'm disappearing to Brisbane next weekend (flying up Dec 2, back down Dec 5). Will be good to catch up with folks up there. I won't be available for administrative duties during this period, but there's a couple of other things I may happen to appear for if needed..…
No, I just smell like it. :P Bad jokes aside, between a glut of overtime at work and a bunch of back of house stuff here at Weasyl, I've had little time for much else around here. The good news is that a lot of the stuff I and others have been working on behind the scenes is getting close to bearin…
Living arrangements are sorted, internet is sorted. Finally doing some site work again after what, 3 months now?
Moved house yesterday. Normal service will resume towards the end of next week once we're mostly unpacked and I have internet - NBNCo is coming through on Wednesday, so probably Friday or so.
Rather literally, unfortunately. TL;DR: Half of the apartment my flatmate and I live in got flooded with sewerage, including all bedrooms. Needless to say this has thrown a spanner in the works, and I won't be doing much around here until at least I've sorted out interim living arrangements (and po…
As part of my trip I'll be dropping in for Califur 2016 - I was scheduled to pass through LA when it was on anyway, so I adjusted the schedule to accommodate it. How many Weasyl folks will I see there?
Return of the journal spammers. Canned 4 of them so far today and counting. :P
Due to external factors we've had a bit of an activity spike - as a result I'll be taking some time out of my holiday to perform some administrative and other duties over the next day or two. I'm enjoying Canada though!
Well, I've now been on staff here for 2 years. Been doing a bunch of stuff behind the scenes in that time, and there's always more things to take care of. Oh, and my title got changed to "Director". Yay?
Since my 2016 schedule is a bit unusual, I'm going to post it here so you know where to find me. Due to overseas travel conflicting with the only con in Australia I attend, I'm not going to be seen at many things this year. 2016 Australian Events Mardi Gras Not attending this event. Mid May Meet I…
I really need to start posting journals about things other than travel, but I'm just not that interesting... In 2016 my annual leave falls in May, and since it's well after Easter and outside school holidays I've decided to keep it. Once again I'm pilfering award inventory to keep me up front. May…
Once again I'm off to New Zealand! This time around I'll be treating my mother to a week in NZ, although there's a clear understanding that I'll be disappearing to be sociable for at least some of the time. Sep 6: Crash at Sydney Airport hotel after work Sep 7: Flying Sydney - Auckland Sep 10: Flyi…
It's that time of year again! Tomorrow night I'm flying up to the Gold Coast for Furry Down Under 2015. First time since 2008 that I've flown Virgin Australia, and I've used some stray points to upgrade to business class. I'll be interested to see how the E190 business class compares to what Qantas…
Going through my photo archive at the moment grabbing material to test something with. Expect a few "from the vault" uploads where I consider them worthy - although none of it will be furry stuff. Scenery and animals all the way for this one. That, and I really needed to knock that holiday journal…
The time has once again come for holiday planning. Doing a mostly USA trip this time around. Getting some great value out of award redemption inventory too. Jan 23: Sydney - Brisbane (QF, J) Jan 24: Brisbane - Hong Kong (CX, J) Jan 28: Hong Kong - New York (CX, J) Jan 30: New York - Chicago (DL, F)…
Ducking back over to New Zealand for a few days: September 11: Auckland September 12 - 14: Christchurch If any kiwis wish to catch up, prod me in #nzfurs on FurNet.
Heads up folks: I'm skipping town from August 12 - 23. August 12: Auckland August 12 - 14: Honolulu August 15 - 17: Los Angeles August 18 - 20: Honolulu August 21/22: Auckland August 23: Flying home Due to overseas travel and rostering requirements I won't be at RivFur this year, but hopefully thos…
Since it seems to be a popular thing to do these days, I'm posting one of those "Ask me anything" journals. So, fire away - but keep it to general in line with the journal rating.
For those Aussies who were after Room Party, requests have now closed and the wheels are in motion. Final AUD costs will be posted here when it's billed and en route to Australia. -- Hendikins
Heads up for folks in Sydney or who I can otherwise easily get hold of (or who are willing to pay domestic postage): I'm planning on doing a bulk order of Room Party and the furry expansion for those who missed out at FurDU. If you're thinking of ordering it yourself the shipping to Australia will…
FurDU 2014 Just finished up at FurDU! Photos will filter their way through as time permits. Most of them will be from the ball pit simply because that's where I shot most of the suiters, but I'll cap it at two or three per suiter. Any extras will go to my offsite gallery, but probably not until I'v…
For those who may not have noticed, I was one of 6 new staff brought on board as part of the recent moderator application process. And what's the first thing I do as a new moderator? Put in notice that I'm going on holidays for a month, of course! I'm such a public servant... All jokes aside (the h…
The time has once again come for a bit of travel. I'm going "around the world" again this year, and here's a list of key dates for those who may wish to catch up: Feb 16 - 21, 23, 25: London Feb 22: Glasgow furmeet Feb 26 - Mar 1: Chicago Mar 3 - 7: San Francisco Mar 7 - 10: Los Angeles (attending…
Just a quick shout out to the locals and FD2 folks who have started watching recently. If I'm going to be in your neck of the woods on my next world tour (or you're coming to FurDU), feel free to drop me a line - we may be able to catch up for coffee or something. :-) Haven't uploaded anything much…
Cards Against Furries After much success with Cards Against Humanity (NSFW) at FurDU this year, I'll be taking suggestions for a furry expansion set for it. Suggestions should be aimed at an international audience - as in they should make sense to the average English-speaking fur. The black card th…
Mutt has arrived on the Gold Coast in time for Furry Down Under - the only con on his 2013 schedule. The plan: Birthday dinner at Bazaar @ QT tonight, then 3 days of con. A selection of the photos I take will appear here on Weasyl.
Assuming my leave gets approved (you folks with regular jobs who can actually get time off just don't know how lucky you are...) I'll be appearing at FurDU. Due to some as yet unresolved issues, I'll be posting my photos from the event exclusively to Weasyl, at least initially. I won't be flooding…
Having relinquished my moderator status on another well known site, I can now be found here on Weasyl. Haven't decided what I'll do about photo posting. A bunch of my older ones will go up here, newer ones are still up in the air at this stage. Wruff!
