Wallpaper and Hot Pictures

Since I started working full time, and don’t feel I have (or at least should spend) a lot of time reading the (116) blogs I’m subscribed to, I notice I started skipping long posts. Especially 1200 word almost philosophical essays, like are often posted on ReadWriteWeb.

During my bachelor in computer science we had to take communication classes. A typical result of companies complaining about computer science students being really smart, but not being able to communicate through other means than IRC and Jabber. Ironically, the class was taught by the most nerdy caveman of them all. Incidentally, without the contemporary west-coast American accent like in the not-so-hilarious Comedy Central sitcom Cavemen.

But I digress. One day, a guest speaker came to talk about writing for the web. She gave some rules. Most importantly: keep it short. “People do not like reading on computer screens, so keep it snappy and to the point. Make key words jump out, for instance by italicizing them or making them bold. Add illustrations that draw attention and are illustrative. And, if for some odd reason you need more space. Write a longer document and offer it as a PDF download.”

The initial weblogs were essentially link dumps. You’d link to some funny cat picture and write “funny cat!” Now that was snappy, that was to the point, that was consumable. Why did we ever move away from that?

Kiama Downs is situated in the northern part of the Municipality adjacent to North Kiama Drive.

The Beach is approximately one kilometre in length and is the home of Kiama Downs Surf Lifesaving Club, which is situated at the northern end of the beach.

The northern end of the beach is patrolled by volunteer lifesavers on weekends and public holidays during the beach season, the voluntary patrol hours may vary throughout the beach season.

This is supplemented by Council’s Professional Lifeguards on Monday to Friday,

• The patrol hours are 10:00am - 6:00pm during the Christmas/New Year school holidays.

Like Surf Beach, Kiama Downs Beach experiences dangerous rips and currents on occasion.

Beach goers should only swim between the flags during patrol hours.

While the beach is patrolled it is suitable for surfboard riding, body board riding and body surfing.

Kendalls Beach is situated just south of Surf Beach, adjacent to the Kendalls Beach holiday park.

While east beach is very protected and is considered to be one of the Municipality’s safest beaches, it can experience a large swell with dangerous shore breaks during easterly swells.
