Blogging about life as a 30 year old nerd, husband and father.
I’ve just been looking at the offerings from American hosting provider Dreamhost and I’m seriously considering moving my site to them. For around ???7 a month I can have a hosting account that has way more facilities than my current provider and comes with Apache webserver and cronjobs, which will mean I can turn on [...]
I hate weekends. The missus works almost solidly all weekend so I spend pretty much the whole time hanging around, watching dvd’s, faffing with my computer and just generally being bored. Normally we at least get to spend the evenings together, but tonight she’s had to pull a double shift so I’ve even got to [...]
I’m not joking either! It seems that Emperor Gates has finally become bored of Frontpage and set his minions on another evil creation. The new webdesign app from Microsoft will be called ‘Expression‘ and comes in three flavours, one for designers, one for developers and one for web designers. Focusing on the web design version, [...]
In my blogging hiatus over the last 8 months or so I’ve taken quite a few photos on that lovely new camera I got for my birthday a couple of years back. It’s definitely much better than a standard camera for taking serious photos. The only thing that’s really holding me back is my own [...]

Oh my god! I’m in geek heaven. The guys that make transformers has taken well known Starwars characters and given them the facility to change into vehicles and back again! Check em out here! This reminds me… I’ve been meaning to buy Darth Tater and a Spud Trooper for ages. Firebox have them at a [...]
Ahhhh. don’t you just love the fresh smell of a redesign? I’ve taken the standard Kubrick template that comes with WordPress and made it my own. For now It’s easier to just change the existing template to suit my needs than to create a whole new template from scratch. I’m still kind of new to [...]
Here we go again… another Hallmark holiday is upon us. This time it’s Mothers Day. I’ll be off down the shops tomorrow to buy the old dear something nice, but there’s no way that I’m buying a card. I’ve been against greeting cards for some time now, but starting from today I am officially banning [...]
Wow! I can’t believe how simple that was! After a little tip from Lobster Guy I have been successfully able to import all of my old posts from Pmachine into WordPress. All I had to do was get a big RSS feed from Pmachine and use the RSS import feature of wordpress to suck it [...]
Damn… I was hoping to be able to migrate all of my Pmachine blog entries from my old site over to WordPress, but due to the lack of an existing tool to do the job for me (for the specific versions that I have) I think its going to take quite a bit of manual [...]
