It’s just after midnight and I’ve just finished the changes I’ve been working on all weekend after the successful installation of Movable Type on Friday.
I really am having a lot of fun although changes to the templates and style sheet is a little quirky as I have gotten used to highlighted code (I use AceHTMLPro [...]

Grrr. My workplace (The Geneva State) has decided to implement Websense filtering and this went into effect late last week while I had a day off. What do I find today? The largest Computer and technical bookshop Ellipse has been filtered and I only get to visit it for ten minutes at a time and [...]

Well, my plan worked like a charm! You probably don’t remember but I did write about it earlier. I like to be alone in the house from time to time but the last few times I have attempted it a member of my family was always ill and I was frustrated.
Well yesterday I took the [...]

Francois came to see me today and he didn’t have a smile on his face as he usually does. He had had a bad day but still took the time to visit me. I even got a present! He is a great guy to know and I wish I could have found a way to [...]

It seems that I am updating every other day. Although this appears a little slack, it is a vast improvement on past efforts. At least I am fairly regular and I do feel that this is important.

What a weekend! Don’t quite know where to start! Well first off I had a good parenting weekend. My son who is 15 had his first shaving experience and it was one of those privileged father and son moments. We both had a good time and I am sure that he will turn around some [...]

I’ve just realised that, looking at the pics I have displayed, some of them are more than 25 years old. Wow! You could hardly call that photo-journalism. More like a [...]

I didn’t update yesterday because I was a little peeved. This site is my main recreational pursuit these last few months and between real updating, photo management and generally learning new stuff, I spend more than two hours on it every day. Those of you who have your own site and/or blog probably spend as [...]

So I attended my second Yoga class yesterday. The first class went well and I made some headway in the right direction. Exercise of any kind after a few decades of abstinence is, as you might imagine, difficult, and I felt … well, challenged springs to mind
The best part by far was the [...]

Well the weekend is over and as usual I’ve spent too much time updating my site. I’ve been preparing the garden pages with links and a photo history from when we moved in to present day.
I have to add the latest whiteboard as I get the feeling that François would be unhappy if I forgot [...]
