Our 2 week old washing machine is broken. We have to wait till after the new year until the parts arrive and are fitted. Doh. I was standing at the sink at 11 o’clock at night last night washing a sink full of clothes. Not good. I have to say that I admire the women

Some of you might remember that I’ve written a bunch of freeware video games – remakes of old Speccy and C64 titles. Out of interest, they’re available on http://www.yoyo.org/~jmd/games/. Anyway, it all started with a truly awful Repton clone called Lizards which I wrote in 1995 or thereabouts. The game was pretty bad, but did

Ten to Five they were up. We didn’t get to bed until 2:30. Gahhhhh. I have a meal to cook. The children are in a playing frenzy 🙂 I had a brief moment of calm at about six thirty – the central heating had packed in during the night and I as out fixing it.

D’oh! Tristan, Matthew and Harmony are growing increasingly excited and the likelihood of them being asleep before 9pm is reducing in direct proportion. Looks like a late night of wrapping for us. The plan was originally to do the wrapping on Monday and Tuesday evenings, but Debbie and I are full of the cold and

It started snowing about two hours ago. We now have a four inch deep white carpet and a dirty great snowman in the orchard 🙂 We all went charging out in the dark and had a good old play while the snow was still falling. Needless to say, they all came in freezing and were

As of January the 12th, I’ll be working with a company called navyblue. I’m doing a bit of everything this time round – UNIX administration, some database stuff, some programming in various languages.

I’m writing this at my nice new shiny desk on my nice new shiny iMac while waiting for a curry I’m building to cook in my nice new shiny kitchen. The garage is stuffed full of what few possessions we have, but we’re back in our own house and that’s all that counts.

Well, we’re semi packed and getting ready to go. We’re moving back to our house tomorrow, whether they’re finished or not. We really can’t wait any longer – we can’t get anything done in this house. I need to look for a permanent job, Debbie needs to get painting again, and I need to get
