Me At Work During Leap Year

Friday, February 29th, 2008 by tony

By now, I was hoping to have had sufficient time to organise photos from the sea lion trip and post notes…but no dice.
I couldn’t let today go by without a post though, since it’s February 29th. So in honour of leap year, I’m posting a self-portrait I took during the trip with one […]

Server Problems

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 by tony

I’m having some problems with my www.tony-wu.com server. If you’re trying to send me email at that domain and haven’t heard back, it’s probably because I haven’t received the email.

Raising Pasta

Among the emails I received while I was in PNG was one asking about Pasta. In part, it read:
(We have) have fallen in love with Pasta. I know it may sound weird, but do you have any puppy pictures of Pasta you can share? She is so cute and we enjoy reading about […]
