I know it’s been a long time since i posted here (hell, it’s been a long time since i posted a rant to the Megatokyo site ^^;;) but there has been a lot of little stabs at re-building this site from the ground up over the past year. When you consider that the engine that runs fredart here is as convoluted as it is, it needs the re-work badly. It’s way too hard to post things – which is why i rarely ever do it.
As you might expect, my ideas for the site are fairly complex and a little different (it involves making fredart here more of a hub of all the different things i do online rather than just a little used outpost). For now, however, we’ve decided to push ahead and try to an intermediary re-build within the structure of WordPress itself. WordPress is pretty flexible, and there are some plugins and other things that should work pretty well for re-hashing this site and making it both more usable and more easily updated.
I’ll talk more about it when we have a publically testable version working, till then… i really should post some new stuff. ^^;;
(actually, you might notice that there’s already a gallery plugin working to the right ^^;;)

For a supposedly creative person, i am remarkably uncreative when it comes to cooking. I think it must be (and i say this with the greatest respect) all that muddled up English, Welsh, Irish and other muckymuck blood in me.
It’s one thing for Sarah to suffer with my cooking (trust me, she does), but Jack deserves better, so I’ve been trying to be a little more creative. Most of these efforts lead to catastrophically disastrous results that we all simply agree never to talk about again, but sometimes i pull off something decent. This morning i decided to try making Toad in a Hole for jack. Now, i had never heard of this egg and toast thing before our trip to Australia (Sarah had), but i had one at a really nice little bistro in Cairn and put in the back of my head as something fun and easy to make for my future experiments. I’ve made it a few times with some success, but today i decided to try some sort of variant with scrambled eggs. (I now see that Toad in a Hole is actually something else, and what i made was actually called Egg in the Basket. Learn something everyday 
While looking for a round cookie cutter or a glass i found a heart shaped cookie cutter, instantly had an idea, and acted on it. It didn’t come out too bad, actually not a bad idea for Valentines Day which is coming up, but it is kind of a silly dish to make for a little boy, as Jack plainly felt.
Now to get to work on Friday’s comic. There are a few things i have to get set up to do it properly so i better get on it.
