Amy asleap after a very busy weekend

One wedding, 600 miles, 12 hours in the car and my very cute baby girl decides enough is enough and clambers on to the sofa and promptly falls asleep !

Amy watching tv ... But all is not as it appears ....

Another pic of amy watching tv (in the night garden) the difference is its now 6am and we have been up for 2.5 hours ... Sick twice .... Just had some toast and water - trying to see if I can keep her in her chair for a bit to let the food go down ..

Quite distracted by the tv at the moment ....

Tesco does subliminal advertising ...

Well its a bit obvious ....

Geek Out !!!

WARNING:

The following post contains lots of stuff that excited geeks - please feel free not to read it !!!

OK -Further to my previous post about installing Windows XP on a virtual machine in Ubuntu (lunux) Just finished watching the last episode of Top Gear season 10 that i downloaded and watched using the cool new BBC i-Player in a Virtual machine running under Ubuntu !!

Well i think it was cool ...

Why not just watch it in windows? - well it was a 600mb file that took around 30 mins to download - this way i could continue to work/play with ubuntu !!

Happy Christmas !!

Ok so its a bit late

But since when have i done things on time !!

Its been a fun Christmas so far. Amy has really been enjoying it! Some of my highlights so far:

• Amy saying "more toys" every time she wanted to open a new present
• In church on Christmas day we sat next to Paul Feesey and Amy handed him her "macapaca " doll and said "MA" then she handed him her "Upsy Daisy" doll and said "Jesus"....
• I cooked Christmas dinner for the 1st time and it was good !! wasn't expecting it to be !!
• My computer is working again !! Got the bits to make it work for Christmas

New computer:

Well its not really - but i am currently playing with Linux - Ubuntu. Its very exciting - not as easy as i was expecting but i am enjoying fiddling with it to make it do what i want !! As I type this I am currently experimenting with "Virtual Machines" ..... Basically I am simulating a computer on my computer - eh why i hear you say (if you havnt already tuned out by now !!) Well I am currently installing Windows XP on one of these virtual machines - so i can run it in a window in linux - all very cool !! Well I think it is

New House:

Well its still really not getting very far - I have been a bit rubbish in getting stuff done - its been a mad time in work (it is always..) and by the time i am home its just seams like too much effort to get stuff done. We are hoping to get some more stuff done over whats left of Christmas

Anyway - time to go - XP is installed - lets see what this baby can do !!

TV veg time

Me and amy veging out in front of tv!

Oh these pictures are from my phone - emailed from my phone!

New House, New Phone ...

Thought it would be a good idea to blog again - keep meaning to write more often but just don't get around to it - kinda the story of my life ...

New House:
Things very chaotic at the moment! Shortly after my last post we managed to have an offer on our new house accepted - very cool. We were told it would all happen very quickly - but we didn't get keys until my birthday ....

We are now at the very exciting and stressful stage of doing all the works on the house before we move in. new bathroom, new kitchen and redecorate 2 out of the 3 bedrooms - the other spaces will have to wait until we move in - something we want to do ASAP.

Its all very exciting - but very stressful as trying to balance this with "normal" life pressures of keeping a home clean tidy / having food to eat etc - combined with a very very busy time for me at work means things are going to be very difficult over the next few weeks.

New Phone:
I am still enjoying my great new phone ( Orange SPV M700) its very cool - and best of all free !! Its been a while since i got a new gadget but i am very happy with this one - keep discovering new cool things i can do with it. - I am sure that this enthusiasm will wear off soon - something Em will not doubt be very happy with !!


Will stop here - lots to do here and should really get on with them - students back on monday - let the carnage commence !!
