I was in the mood for a change.
May still be, but this will do for the moment.
Something to play with.

I’ve noticed that this doesn’t quite render as intended in IE6, and I find myself asking, do I care?  It’s not totally broken, and the content is sound. I’m thinking I will just let it be.

IE6?  You’re dead to me.

Even though you apparently still have 20% of the browser market share

If anyone has IE7 let me know it it’s readable?  Or comparable to FF3?

I am only allowed 6 at work (Stupid legacy intranet apps) and 8 Beta at home (Which I’ve used for a total of about 9 seconds in the last month)

It’s been a bit too long since I’ve posted an update.

I should really do something about that.

I’m struggling with my blogging lately.

Very little jumps to mind as being worthy to write home about in itself.  There have been lots of little things.

Lily Update:

• Lily is nearly walking, and is generally on a path of destruction.  She managed to destroy my computer speakers and basically set them on fire.  Don’t ask me how.  But she was well away before the smoke started pouring out of the subwoofer.

• She has 2 or 3 more teeth coming in.
• She is sleeping in her crib without much fuss.  5 minutes and she is out at night.  Now we can sleep.
• She’s nearly 10 months old.
• I still miss her when I’m at work.

Nerd Update:

• using Unison to backup my Ubuntu home directory to a separate physical drive.  Works well, yet I am having trouble getting it to run as a cron job.  I do not yet know why.
  Update:FIXED
  I needed to provide the absolute path to unison in my backup script.
  So instead of:
  unison Main -silent
  I needed to use:
  /usr/bin/unison Main -silent
• Still liking Ubuntu, though I am wishing I could get EQ2 running properly in wine, so that I can hook up with the old gaming clan for the odd night out in the virtual worlds.
• I don’t particularly need an iPhone.  I’ve got a free Blackberry.
• I do however need new speakers.

Work Update:

• Same old.  Work, program, make things efficient.
• People still baffle me with their approaches to problems and life.  I don’t know how some survive breakfast, let alone make it to work daily.
• Taking some Project management courses in August.

Life Update:

• Weekend BBQ was a success.  Family came over, ate and drank, then went home.  What more can you ask?
• Leaving Lily with my sister Saturday night while we go out to a wedding.  It’s getting admittedly easier to leave her behind from time to time.  But not for too long…
• Summer is good, and too short.

Fun Link:

• Holophonic Haircut (Headphones Required!)
