Park Inn
Well I’ve started my holiday today, not that we’ve gone anywhere yet: Kathy is working today so I’m finishing off the packing, getting the car ready, taking some rubbish to the tip and doing some last minute shopping for things we’re taking over which include hot paprika and Paprika flavoured Pringles which for some reason […]
I’ve not been doing much coding on the Weblogs recently – I’m just too tired. I’ve been on call (3:30am to 9am during the week) alternate weeks for the past year and basically I’ve run out of energy. The alternate weeks was a “short term” requirement after a member of the team at work quit […]
To stay at home. There is an afternoon of racing on at Cheltenham Racecourse – its the first meeting of the National Hunt season. So going anywhere by car than involves going over that side of town is a totally stupid idea. But what is there on TV – build up to the Rugby World […]
Well I’ve got version 1.0 of my Last.FM Widgets Plugin working. I’ve trimmed some of the extra bits out that Last.FM include in their plugs (just to make things tidy) but retained about 95% of what was there. It supports all the standard lists and the two standard “Quilts”. One of more of the Widgets […]
For a change of scene I’ve been working on a set of Last.FM widgets which will allow you to dispaly Last.FM widgets in the sidebars on the blogs… and you should be able to see one there right now. It was only during testing this that I found that my blog (i.e. this one) no […]
Smokey, one of our two Manx cats, died today. She had developed kidney disease and she was off her food and was very subdued so we took her back to the vets on Saturday. Despite trying “poor man’s dialysis” where they put the cat on a saline drip to help flush the kidneys through the […]
I’ve been trying to put together a better charging control circuit for Mintball. The thing with Mintball’s control panel is that it is all low current – the heater and starter switch drive relays and the no charge light is a “fake” in that its not actually driven by the IND line off the alternator. […]
Well the week at work seemed extremely long for some reason. Maybe the three day weekend on the boat made it seem that way, or maybe its just work. Tuesday Night the Out Of Town Pub Night Group went to The Fleet Inn at Twyning which was very pleasant : three Real Ales, and staff […]
is, like Mozart … dead Get over it
On Saturday it will be 5 years since Kathy and I got married. So to celebrate we are off on the boat for a short break. Heading up after work on Thursday and then heading towards Autherley. No great plans or schemes, we’ll take it as it comes and turn round half way through. We’ll […]
