Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    Haha, that’s awesome. :D It was a little off in location but both forecasts were “no” anyway.

    That is cool.

    @TWD: You can manually enter your location.

    Oh yeah, I saw that last night. All I saw was that big “no” and I was confused, but then I saw my location and was like “coool!” StumbleUpon wasted an hour of my time, but it was worth it.

    That is actually brilliant. I wonder if the same people are behind websites like http://isobamapresident.com/ and http://ismccainpresident.com/ :P

    That big “Maybe” scared me at first… then I saw my city name underneath it. Cool… :D

    Lol that ‘Maybe’ is so accurate too :o) Of course I always use the Billi method, I open the kitchen window…if he goes out-it’s not raining, If he stays in-it is :o) Either that or he’s a lazy cat haha.

    Lol, I tried it, apparently I need one because it’s raining lightly… And because according this site here is -999 celcius :o.

    Ahaha. This made me laugh. I just clicked on it and “maybe” in huge writing came up! x.x Silly.
