This is a test post. I am testing Disqus, which I’ve been meaning to install for a while.
Could you help me out by leaving a comment?

I’m cancelling my phone book delivery.
Every year a phone book arrives on my doorstep, and every year I throw it out. I don’t need it since the White Pages and the Yellow Pages have been available on the Internet. So every year I recycle it or throw it out or shred it in a fit of annoyance.
We asked the delivery man if he could skip delivering the phone book to us, but he refused. Turns out they get paid by each book they deliver, so they refuse to not deliver your phone book, even if you don’t want one.

Welcome
Welcome to my brand new blog. I’ve just removed the test entries and it’s time for me to get started. This time I will remember to keep a backup.
To start, a little about me.
My name is Taryn Hicks (@tarale on Twitter) and I am a young interactive developer with Freerange Future in Adelaide. I specialise in XHTML and CSS, and I am working to build my skills in DOM Scripting, PHP, and Ruby.
In my spare time, I enjoy visiting the Adelaide Cinémathèque, cheering on our lovely Adelaide Roller Derby girls, participating in the Adelaide Twitter group, and volunteering at the Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club. Oh, and I absolutely love Chocolate, and I really like Neon Genesis Evangelion. I also suffer from Major Depressive Disorder, which sometimes makes these interests difficult, but for the most part I am OK.
I intend to blog about most of the above, in particular what’s going on in and around Adelaide and my interests and growth as an interactive developer. I hope you will join me.
