If you have a toddler…

… do not flush the toliet first without checking what’s in it. A whole weekend without a toliet is not fun. And it’s not as if we can be angry, I mean, she was trying to go the toliet by her self and just put the empty toliet roll, with the toliet paper she used, [...]

Ah Halloween…

… has come and gone. I was excited about Halloween this year because it would have been Alice’s, my two-years-and-a-bit-old daughter, first real Halloween, with costumes, trick-or-treats and candy candy candy! We got her this cute devil-witch costume, with horns, tail and a dress. Admittly she hasn’t been in the mood. More teeth are coming [...]

“Beep beep” is nearly as versatile as the word “fuck”

“Beep beep” is a surprisingly versatile phrase. My two year old daughter, who is learning to communicate, uses it continuously. Of course it lacks a precise meaning but a lot can be taken from the context she uses it in. I’ve been told that 90% of communication is actually based on body language and not [...]

What a few days…

We moved on Friday. This should be good news. Except Alice, our baby girl, got sick. Doctor late on Friday and then on Saturday spending more than a few hours in Crumlin Children’s Hospital. At the same time we’re meant to be unpacking and getting ready to go to France. Another very scary moment on [...]

All is Good!

I must apoligise for not providing an update in so long. The last news I gave was well before Alice was born and now Alice is three months old! Things are good. Not perfect but who wants perfect? Alice, our precious little daughter, has got wonderful red-hair, falls asleep when I read her Cat in [...]

Its been a while but its getting so close…

Sorry for the severe lack of updates in the last while. Life has been busy in a slow way. Its only a week or two to go before Strawberry is here! It’s both exciting and bloodly scary. While we wait heres some new stuff I’ve uploaded to my little site: MT-Close2 — a plugin for [...]

Wow another update in less than a week!

Yep. Two, peices of news. The first, lesser, peice of good news is that I had my Shotokan Karate Grading today. I just earned my brown belt! (For those who don’t know, the brown belt is the last colour before the famous black belt: in reality, I have three more belts to go as there [...]

MTs BerkleyDB on Redbrick, DG836G and Corrupt Firmware Updates and Selling House

Sorry for the lack of news and updates. There are many reasons. I could blame Redbrick for moving their web services from Prodigy to Deathray. I use Movable Type for my webpage and I’m using, still, BerkleyDB instead of SQL. This broke, of course, moving from the two different machines. The standard solution from MovableType [...]

Les Fraises!

Best christmass present…. EVER. Sophie and myself are expecting a little babog! Sophie is about four months gone now. We had to keep it under wraps for the first three months (standard practice apparently) but just before christmass we had the first scan and it was cool — you could see him/her moving his tiny [...]
