Just a quick entry to let y’all know I’ve added a few pictures of the cats to my flickr :)

Not Long to Go Now
An appropriate title in more than one way… Firstly, we had confirmation this week that our applications for a different local property had gone through. We get the keys Friday 9th, and I’m hoping to be fully moved over that weekend. We’ll then have until November to get the flat shiny ‘n new, but given […]
24 Hours with Habari
So here we are, 24 hours after moving nearly 2 weeks worth of work (on and off) and it’s still standing. I’m impressed. :) Anyway, given that I know my conversion is generating a lot of talk about Habari and interest amongst you guys I thought I’d collect together some of my initial thoughts. Let’s […]
I’ve Converted to Habari
I recently asked for recommendations for a blogging script through .net forum to fulfil the requests of those wanting something more professional than FanUpdate, but without the relative bloat of WordPress. @otherniceman was kind enough to point me in the direction of Habari and not only was I impressed enough to have used it as […]
SQL Injection Flaw in FanUpdate
A security issue has come to light in FanUpdate (2.2.1 specifically but likely affects previous versions). This only affects those who are still running with register_globals turned on (a very bad idea). The problem — for those interested — lies in show-cat.php relying on an unsanitised $listingid. In an ideal world, show-cat.php should only be […]
Personal Perspective
This is an odd entry in that Karl regularly chimes in (quoted). However, given that what I’m about to discuss affected us both, I’m sure you can understand. If you’d asked me this time last year my opinions on ‘mommy bloggers’ and ‘mommy blogging’ I’m sure I’d have given you a cynical retort about the […]
Giving it all up (sort of)
I have spent the past week or so away from the computer for the most part, and in doing so have had time to contemplate where I’m going in life and what my various online dedications mean to me. As a result of this, I have made some decisions to cut back on a huge […]
Tech Books for Sale
I am trying to clear some space pre-move/pre-baby, as well as making a bit of extra money to put aside for emergencies and so was hoping to sell a few books on Amazon. Unfortunately they require you to have a UK credit card, which I don’t have, and as I’m ebay-aphobic I don’t want to […]
What a Frickin Morning
I went to see a local property this morning in the hope that, should we find somewhere suitable, we can arrange with the landlord/lady to escape our existing tenancy due to the damp and access issues. Property was quite nice, more than suitable, gorgeous little ‘secret’ garden around the back. Unfortunately I was told at […]
On the Exciting Topic of Damp
I bet you all wish you were leading a life as exciting as mine… tidying, vomiting and coping with damp. Seriously though, as if it wasn’t the weirdest phase of my life ever these past few months (if you’ve never been pregnant, wait until you have a sprog growing inside you and then try and […]
