My new backup disk finally gets going

Posted on 28 February 2008 by a1291762

I’ve got a new backup disk. The old one was 160GB, barely big enough to backup both Bree and my machines. That was before both Bree’s new machine (which has a bigger disk) and my replacement disk (which is bigger). … Continue reading →

Polling is dead. Long Live 'hede'!

Posted on 28 February 2008 by a1291762

Isaac really gets going

Posted on 23 February 2008 by a1291762

For a few days now Isaac has given us advance warning when he needs to go to the toilet. He’ll also sit on there until he’s done. He’s definitely got it now. He had more accidents than Emily did when … Continue reading →

Emily wishes she was older

Posted on 14 February 2008 by a1291762

She can’t wait for her next birthday, she can’t wait to go to prep, she wants a Barbie (but I don’t think she even knows what one is). Sigh. I wonder how long I’ve got until she wants to go … Continue reading →

Isaac clicks, starts toilet training

Posted on 14 February 2008 by a1291762

We’ve tried Isaac out a few times for toilet training but it wasn’t until today when it clicked. He did 2 wee+poo in the toilet today and was most proud of himself. Here’s hoping he progresses to completely trained as … Continue reading →

I’ve been too busy to post updates. Here’s a bunch of things that have happened recently. – Nokia purchased the company I work for, Trolltech. Ironically, this means I might be able to get my hands on the source code … Continue reading →
