Huh? What's Been Happening Over Here, Wellll ....

By /
... stuff really.

Liz and I have been the socialites of old taking in the mirth of Steve Coogan (maaaaan alive he can belt out a song as well as have you wetting your pants with jocularity), parties involving bogan-ness and general out-and-about-ly behaviour. More of this to come so hold up your hems and come dance with the fine folk of Miramar.

Kids are doing swimmingly thank you very much for enquiring.
Meg has started her swimming lesson phase of life and is the proud shower-off-er-er of being able to star jump, stick her head under water and float as a star fish on her back without drowning or anyfink!

Jack takes one day at a time in the manner of a sophisticated 5 1/2 year old boy about town that's just, well, ya know, seen it all ... *sigh*. He is a man with girls swooing after him (really, if I was as popular in my late teens as he is right now life would've been a lot less full of angst and solo walks by the river)

Liz - she is (praise all the gods you believe in) all sparkles and her light and creativness has returned after the "corporate life" of 2008. Not that she wishes those days away but can now officialy tick them off as "done" and move onto far better and more worthwile activities. Lucky sod eh - welll, truth be know I actually like doing what I do.

And finally there's the cat. It gets carried around the house by Meg, chased and patted by ever child thsast visits (and that's a lot), bundled out into the cold and rain if it even thinks of waking any of us up and yet still it loves us. And it's not the complete team without him.

Me - busy. Buy me a beer and I tell you more.

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.”

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

W. C. Fields quotes

The office has all been moved around - new desks (with starter handles to raise and lower them), new high(er) speed network and ... the same old work. At least I have a differing view of the world, my team (well, the team I'm a part of not "my" team) is a lot closer - finally - and it's like an office from the 80's ... or even a classroom. But I still have time to move the crap off the PC : ------ Any man who hates dogs and loves whiskey can't be all bad. Anyone who hates Dogs and Kids Can't be All Bad. Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??! Who stole the cork from my breakfast? Now don't say you can't swear off drinking, it's easy. I've done it a thousand times. Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit, no use being a damn fool about things. Madam, there's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they alwa
