6 weeks to go and it's planning time

By /
Image hosted by Photobucket.comLiz and I are now into planning mode. We've started tapping people on the shoulder to be around/ready for us ... well, me. Liz has sorted out Meg's clothes, of which she has so much that if she wore each item once for a maximum of 30 minutes she'd still not get through it all.

Meg herself seems to be planning a double somersault, triple pike ending with a gracious entry into the world. And why do I say that, because she kicking the b'jesus out of Liz at the mo' and it can only be for such an event.

Liz has definitely moved into , "Tired now, be nice when it's over".
She gets out of breath quite quickly (squished up diaphragm and therefore little space for the lungs to do their normal work). A few times we've even had Liz feeling like she's gonna faint ... nothing like tat yet but still.

Sarah (sis-in-law and designated driver for the birth), Liz and I will be visiting the Christchurch Women's Hospital sometime soon-ish - if for nothing else so that we know where it is and how to get in.

All jolly exciting really.

But I've still not connected like I had with Jack. I'm sure it'll come ... and I'm now gonna to sloooowly re-focus from work and the like to Meg and Liz (and Jack). Starting with this posting.

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

[Updated] Pubs of 2024 Monmouth

"Back in the day", yada yada yada, yes we all know there were more pubs than people, there was a pub every two houses, the largest number of pubs per square mile than anywhere in the known universe, there was a pub named after each and every one of us, and yet, YET we only ever went to same one every time. Monmouth has changed, it now only has 10 pubs.  "Ten! Ten? It used to be ten pubs just in the top of town. There were ten pubs I'd walk past to get to my local." Yes, yes ... times change, we now have 10 pubs in Monmouth . Oh, and the Mayhill but that seems to be more a ghost pub, it can be seen but only in the dark and no-one will believe if you say you went in. Monmouth, a town in Wales (YES, it is in Wales ), a town that has a population of around 10,317 (as at 2021). A town who's 1980's population was, well, I don't know, despite a century of censuses being taken, it's impossible to find (1991: 8,206 | 2001: 8,877 | 2011: 10,508 | 2021: 1
