Tightening bolts on a giant spar arm, 45ft below the waves

After countless hours of labouring away in the coding internals of my website, it seems like I am at last getting close to finished. A heartfelt thank you must go out to all the posters on Smugmug's DGrin customization forum. Every time I had a problem making things just right, a quick search brought me the instructions and code I needed to get the job done - just fantastic.

With that done, or at least, having enough polish for me to start taking on other projects, the question is where to?

For those reading who don't know me, a quick intro. I've spent the last year building a diving resume, adding enough certifications and experience to get me employment somewhere tropical. Besides the odd course, or fun photographic opportunities like the one heading up this page, diving in Kelowna gets a bit quiet over the winter. This is hardly surprising, in January and February the Lake's temperature can drop to a brisk 2.2c (36ºf), and those of us without drysuits (blew all my drysuit money on camera gear) find 2.2c a little too cool for comfort

My hope is to find a job on a liveaboard dive boat, or failing that, anyplace where I can dive without needing a 14mm wetsuit, and continue building a photography business. In the meantime, however, there are still a few things coming up in town to keep me busy. I'll keep you posted as I go.
