Rebuilding the site…Again!

Yep, it's happening again! I'm actually getting off my behind and rebuilding the site, after a couple of years of being ignored. This will take a while, but I'm trying to restore as much of the original content at the same time I am finalising the new design. You'll know when this is finished by the simple fact that this post will no longer be at the top.

Hi Tayla

Tayla decided come along on the 26th of July to some dancing friends Marc and Tamara. She weighed in at 3.335kg and thanks to the wonders of mms/sms we even have a photo.

Amazing…

Saw this today via instapundit, and just had to share it. I didn't think you could actually do anything like this with a remote controlled aircraft...wow!

Yet another baby

But at least this ones in the family. Aunty 'Manda and Uncle Damian have given us Henry. Until we get some pictures this little one of Amy will have to suffice.

Hooray for Ross & Michelle

A big congratulations to Ross & Michelle who have brought Logan into the world. Logan came out with all the proper bits in a nice and quick 4 1/2 hour labour, and apart from all the usual baby stuff Mom, Dad and Baby all seem to be doing fine. If your reading this Ross, give me more info like weight/size etc before Melly ear bashes me to bits!

Important Information

On Thursday the 4th of next month (may), at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't ever happen again.

You may now return to your (normal ?) life.

BASH: The octal problem

I was writing a whole pile of scripts which performed end of month tasks for this webserver, including stats archival, monthly backups, clean up bits and pieces. They all ran great until I hit the end of August and BANG…everything fell apart in a heap of “value too great for base (error token is “08″)” Damn, said I, so off to find a way to fix it all.

Everybody meet Amy Joy

On Tuesday February 7 at 6:45am, Amy Joy finally joined us after 9 months of waiting.

The vital stats are:

Weight - 3.18kg (7lb at a bit for those on the old scale) Height - 50cm Head Circumference - 34cm Mum was very happy with a nice 5 hour labour and NO DRUGS! By the time we got to the hospital Amy was crowning so drugs were off the menu at that stage.

There are more photos at her permanent picture gallery which can be found here.
