city link camera images: can be hacked by adding "webcam01.jpg and so on to the main url (after removing the index.php bit)

going out and doing things seems to be a good idea: have three pieces of about 1500 words each written since last Friday; on the map fair, the sketchcrawl and on some swans I saw on the Moonee Ponds creek...if one could hope to keep up this rate, 40,000 words wouldn't look so hard...but some of the research will be much slower...

-heh. as required. and so on.

so this book, project, whatever it is, is actually going to get written. I am of course terrified - and have of course turned that terror into a short essay I'll be trying to get published - but overall it's a good thing. disrupting, challenging, but good. Six months' work at $10,000...it's about a third of what I used to get paid...but a darn sight better than the big fat nothing I was being paid before...and even better again than my original plan, which was to pay the government (uni fees) so I could write this as a thesis. Supposed to have a first draft by the start of May next year. my application left out a few key chapters, so I guess I can defer those...it's all going to be about maps and books from here on in...though I will be collecting artists, like the popov show below and the very interesting Sketchcrawl.
