I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
After a little thought, I decided I’m going to take myself offline for the next few days. The reason is simple enough… The last Harry Potter book will be out on the 21st July. Ok I’m a Pottermaniac… a true addict… no question about it, but since this is the last book I’m going to … More And a fond farewell… for now!
I updated this blog yesterday and discovered three days posts were missing. Went off to try to find out why and discovered the server was being upgraded and the work wasn’t finished. Ok… partly my fault that I hadn’t been watching closely but in all fairness I was told the work was going to be … More Talking of struggling…
Spent a few minutes cursing quietly because none of the url’s I was adding to the links in the HAA site were working… then I realised I wasn’t uploading the page with the links on… I was uploading the page the link referred to… gawd what am I like??

As part of the revamp I obviously needed a decent theme… so I found one and started reconfiguring links etc to get the basics up there, and create a template to work from as I … More Why are things so hard sometimes?
The UK Site ‘Raising Kids‘ has loads of competitions to enter for very little effort – in fact they give you the answers 🙂 The only problem is you need to have kids in order to enter. Of course… you *could* put down the names of cousins, nephews and neices, even grandchildren if you wanted … More Got kids? Enter competitions!
The wife went back to work this morning after having a couple of days off because of a cold. She’s gone off on the train, as she does when it’s raining, so her cold is quite likely to make a comeback later this week. She’s in for an interesting day either way as the eldest … More Quiet today – damn dam!
I’ve just started looking at CSS properly and have just realised I need to know *far* more than I do now. For starters it’s only just dawned on me that I need to create an external style sheet if I want to maintain consistency across multiple pages. Might seem an odd thing to ‘just discover’ … More I've no 'style' at all.
Only 13 more sleeps til the last Harry Potter book hits the shelves. Will I have the courage to go to buy my book wearing a velvet cape, pointy hat and Voldemort mask?? Watch this space for further details… and pictures if I raise enough courage. 🙂
