Witterings are, well they’re witterings really. They’re not uncategorised posts but don’t really fit into anything else
Well not until some time on Saturday but we’re on the taxi-way. The house is pretty much cleaned up and de-fluffed and the parents will be here later this afternoon to house and cat sit whilst we’re away. Cameras are just about packed, and I’m sort of half done on my packing, which I suppose […]
It feels odd being in the house without Kathy, I know I spend a lot of time during the day by myself normally but its in the evenings that I really miss her. It seems odd cooking just for me and the evenings drag on and when it comes to bed time it really does […]

September 1st and Summer is now officially over. How do I know? Do I have some special Almanac that tells me? Is it all based on folk lore? Is it because the schools went back today? Nope, its none of those. I know Summer is over because when I went to our local Sainsbury’s supermarket, […]
Last weekend Nick and I headed up to the boat to do some work on it. The deck boards on the boat are made out of plywood and they get wet and once water gets in on the cut edge they start to break down, and the starboard deck which is the one that we […]

It’s a never ending task really. Most of the core server components update automatically, as long as I remember to kick off an update process once in a while, its everything else that you need to keep a eye on. The server has a WPMU installation on it which has to be upgraded, as do […]
That’s what I am, when it comes to being part of a large, and growing, number of people who are out of work. 6 months without work is not nice and the market is such that its now an employers market rather than an employees, so less jobs being advertised and more people chasing them. […]
You’re probably thinking that Steve’s gone bonkers but please bear with me on this one. Sci-Fi are running the new series of Knight Rider. Now we all remember the original which starred The Hoff which aired back in the early 1980s and was, along with Air Wolf one of those rather silly programs which sort […]
