Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! 2007 started a little rocky for this site when I forgot to renew the domain and for a day or so, jonathapoh.com was showing a generic domain parking page. To make matters worse, my registrar was rejecting my debit card which I had been using all this while with them. Seems the problem wasn't with the card itself but the fact that the domain had expired thus couldn't be 'renewed' but had to be 'reactivated'. Some technical difference between the two. Anyway, I got it back now and everything is fine again. Or so I thought.
My brother Tristan mentioned last night that the comments form on my site wasn't working. No wonder nobody was commenting on my blog anymore! I was feeling a bit distraught that all my readers have disappeared with my long absence from blogging. It seems when I moved the site to Media Temple, I also took the opportunity to upgrade Movable Type to the latest version, and I had forgotten that I renamed the comments script file to something else in effort to curb comment spam (didn't really work). The fresh install of MT was looking for this renamed file which obviously doesn't exist in the default installation. I've fixed this now and comments are now working again.
As for stuff happening offline, New Years Eve was nice. I went to a friend's house party in Hawthorn. It was a very pleasant and chilled out evening. Weather was perfect and we sat outside in the garden with some drinks and good company. It was a nice way to usher in the new year away from the heaving crowds in the city that night. A stark contrast to last year in Sydney.
I've been spending way too much time playing Zelda on the Wii this last few days. Getting really engrossed in it. I'm slowly weaning myself back into work mode again and getting a few outstanding things done.

Happy new year!
How do you find the Wii? It's still not available here in M'sia (or in Singapore, the last time we checked!) yet! I'm hoping my hubby will buy it...wanna watch him play Zelda...totally loved that game when it came out on the old Nintendo. Hopefully, they'll come out with Banjo-Kazooie too...!

Hi Jonothan, came across your site randomly (searching for 'puku', long story) great design work, but FYI: Kapai Puku is NOT Maori for 'seeds of life' - and your client never claims it to be - Kapai Puku is te reo for 'happy belly/tummy' - ie, the museli is good for one's digestion, I assume! :)

...or 'good' is probably more a more literal translation than 'happy' but I would translate as 'happy belly' in this instance ;)

The Wii's been great! Had a few friends over and it's always a blast even just watching other people play.
Thanks for the heads-up Zoe. I shall amend my portfolio as such. I didn't realise the slogan wasn't actually a literal translation of the name.
