Building our new life
It’s been a while. Look, maybe I should rename the site to “It’s been a while”. Lots and lot have been achieved. The old house, gone, sold, forgotten about. Well, not entirely forgotten about but its not my problem anymore. New house. Summer house, gone! Yeap, demolished. Cleared down to its concrete plinth. Less said […]
It’s been a while…
Yes, it has been a while since I last posted on here. What is my excuse. Well, simply put, we’ve moved house. This site is hosted from home and that had to move as well. So, oh heck yes, so much has changed. The lab I built, which I vblogged on here, its been left […]
All quiet? Kind of!
Its been very quiet on the project front, at least what I can report on here. The increasing power bills have seen my enterprise servers go into a perpetual “cold and dark” condition. All primary functions are running on the pair of RPi4’s and a single RPi3. There is a big project a foot. I […]
A computer poem
Many moons ago, more than I care to remember, when I was at University. One of my computer literate colleagues spent a lot of time with the Uni’s DEC VAX 8650, which was connected to JANET, or the Joint Academic Network. This was part of what would become the “Internet”. One day he mailed us […]
Such a long time
…since I have written anything on this site and there is so much I could write about. What a year plus, it has been. What, 14 months we have been in this bizarre, surreal environment that is COVID-19. So many months just keeping your head down, hoping not to catch the virus, and if you […]
I’m not hanging around here
I have neglected this site again and I know that at least one person reads it. What can I say? First, the back is much better. Following Sam’s advice I am no longer bothered by it at all. Considering the pain it gave me back in March, I am so relieved. I don’t want that […]
Neglection of duty
Over two months have passed since my last post. I logged into this site and wondered what had happened. I seemed to have changed the theme. I Forgot about that. I actually don’t remember doing that. Humm, I suspect something has failed in the update process. I’m working from home, 100%, since March. It is […]
Dad
Friday the 13th. I don’t go with this superstition stuff but Friday the 13th March 2020, wow, you unleashed hell did you not? My father died. He wasn’t supposed to. It wasn’t expected. I found him in the evening after I could not reach him on the phone. The good news is he knew nothing […]
Bloody media!!!!
I’m banging my head on the table! Why would I do this? I got into weather forecasting for charity response organisations, chiefly Wessex 4×4 Response, because the main line media weather forecasts bias to the worst case conditions. More recently they don’t forecast at all, until the last minute. Either way that’s no good if […]
The Desk arrives!
So, one thing that Sam recommended was a standing desk. As we have the option at work I enquired, with results. Check this out, freshly installed ( by me ) today. A million thanks to Tracey for sorting this out for me!!!
