2 Powercuts in 12hours? [10 - Aug - 08 @ 18:55]

Well, being woken at 5.30 this morning by a dozen alarms going off, all because something had tripped the power off to the local area wasn't a delight... it went something like this:
Michelle: Jimmy, is that our car alarm?
Me: Uh, er, what, eh? No, its a house alarm somewhere, or 3...
Michelle: Are you sure? What time is it?
Me: (Looks at alarm clock, which isn't on, sound of the computer in the corner is absent, pick up mobile) Er, half five ish, looks to be a power cut...
Michelle: Oh, okay... Zzzzzz......
So, after eventually getting up, having a bath (and falling asleep in it), the power appears to come back on. I check everything is running okay before heading out...
Come this evening, I see that I've been booted off the ssh session I left going (naughty me)... and it looks like someone knocked the power off again around lunch time... hopefully, fixing whatever was broken this morning, and bodged to work for the time... 
Hopefully, the same won't happen again for a while, I like my sleep I do |

I didn't watch the opening ceremony, busy at Rocknations 08, but reading through a mailing list, I see this gem:
"Trust the Chinese to get the fireworks spot on"
A real laugh-out-loud moment, reading that one |

Project 365 Update, and stuff [3 - Aug - 08 @ 12:17]

Well, I've been posting a picture a day for a month now, and its quite fun. I've managed to not miss a day yet, and have only had 2 photos from my mobile (one due to the flipping fire alarm at work).
Hopefully I'll be able to keep this going for the whole year, quite exciting
In other news, Lara had her 12-week injections last Wednesday, she wasn't happy about it, but soon got over it (hint, give your child calpol about half an hour before the appointment  ).
Just this week she's discovered her hands (which she either eats, or wrings like an old granny), and her feet (which don't approach her mouth, thankfully). She also loves to smile at me and I've managed to teach her how to stick her tongue out too |

Confidence inspiring... [9 - Jul - 08 @ 10:54]

Doesn't it just fill you with confidence to find out that not only is one guy on your team is likely to be moving jobs, and country (he's going to Switzerland, aparently), but that one of the other guys has spent all day updating his CV, and the team leader, has quite obviously put his CV on monster...
Ho hum... |
