My son is one

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Title purely for poetry ;) Last Thursday (19th) Jamie turned one. The last year has been amazing, if somewhat disruptive, what with a new job to contend with too, and the change in direction with church. And now we’re thinking about moving house too. It’s all go…

My Shinies!


I just feel very fortunate to have 2 amazing kids, whom I love very much.

Meant to post this a couple of months ago when I originally took it.

I love my daughter

Projects that didn’t really get finished last year

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Last year, I posted a list of projects I wanted to complete in 2008. How did it go? Well….. not brilliantly:

  • MythTV – box didn’t get touched, let alone back up and running, although it did see use at Camp again as the shop database.
  • Church Office:
    • Display machine – yes! this got fixed (mostly) using keyjnote (now impress!ve) presentation software, which is much more stable than OO.o seemed to be with this display adaptor. May well try OO.o again once it’s upgraded to Intrepid Ibex
    • File server – same as MythTV box; untouched other than some crayon courtesy of Mira
    • Firewall – still working perfectly, still not upgraded
  • Linkpot – I handed this project over to schwuk when I realised I didn’t have the time available, and other projects became higher priority
  • Church Website – well – it’s “almost” there. Watch this space

The other projects didn’t even get a look in, but I did gain a new project in the “Invest” programme (which will eventually get a post of it’s own), plus another project that I’ll be announcing next month. Oh, and Classic Yak kicked off too, which has been very significant.

I’ll be posting this years plan later on. Maybe.

It doesn’t really seem like it, but apparently it’s been a year since Mira was born.

Happy Birthday Munchkin :D
