We met Dawn the midwife today. She is very nice and just how a midwife should be (plump and smiley). It is a pity that she won’t be my midwife for much longer – I’ll have to change all my healthcare provision when we move. She says that I’m 8 weeks pregnant and the baby… Read More »
I can’t believe it – I’m sure my belly is looking bigger already – but I think most of it is caused by bowel distension and water retention. I was rather taken aback today when the mother-in-law of the people buying our house asked “when are you due?”. I really thought it wasn’t noticeable! Slight… Read More »
…and so are we (I think). Scared witless, but generally pretty happy about it. We’ve done two tests – I guess because we couldn’t quite believe the first one and, once we’d almost come to terms with the idea, to make sure that it was still there. All a bit of a shock, really, but… Read More »
You Are 48% Cynical Yes, you are cynical, but more than anything, you’re a realist. You see what’s screwed up in the world, but you also take time to remember what’s right. How Cynical Are You?
I’ve just installed rockbox on my ipod. It’s a replacement firmware whatsit that works on a few different mp3 players and supports ogg, flac etc and works with a filesystem structure (no more itunes!) although it has quite powerful support for playlists that I haven’t played with yet. It’s also themeable (see screenshot). It has… Read More »

A colleague was stumped by how to add a Live Bookmark for Guido’s blog in Firefox. It turns out that to do that, the page offering the feed must have an alternate link in its header. The software that artima.com uses for its weblogs doesn’t do that, so I’ve hacked together an ugly little script… Read More »
Well, I have to say I almost jumped for joy when I read this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/4633562.stm That’s 400 customers who now have a better chance of a decent wedding photograph service. Elegante SUCK so badly it’s untrue. Still, we’re now getting 6 substandard storybooks out of them for nothing instead of paying for 3. We… Read More »
Well, what a week. We finally had somebody in on Friday to replace our boiler. Much daydreaming of a warm house and hot baths was done, only for our hopes to be dashed when there was a fault with the boiler. The NEW boiler, mark you. Grumph. Other aspects of our life have been rather… Read More »
