Anyone got a parent that goes crazy when they do something wrong?  That’s nothing compared to this guy!

For the next week I will post at least once a day – even if it’s just an interesting link I’ve found.  I need to make a commitment to this blog for at least a short time……..

I got an email the other day stating that the software I use to run this weblog, pmachine has been discontinued.  I have become increasingly frustrated with it over the last few months and have been looking around for a replacement blog/CMS tool to replace it anyway.

Luckily the same people that bought out pmachine brought out a brand new product about a year ago called expressionengine which was built from the ground up and is much more powerful.  Unfortunately it costs (at a minimum) 75 USD……. On the other hand I paid 45 for pmachine and have got loads of use out of it.  Another plus is that ee has a great pmachine import script so the 670 odd entries can be moved.  I have a test site running here. One of the things I like is captchas with allow you to take steps towards eliminating blog spam (grrrr) without requiring registration.  Have a look at the bottom of the comments on the test site and you’ll see what I mean.

Anyway, it’s a 14 day trial so we’ll see how it goes

Man, what a weekend!  We had Max’s birthday party and it was manic We were up at 06:00 amd I think the first time I really got to sit down was 21:30. 

Max got totally spoiled on the present front but the kids seemed to have fun with all the food, toys and new built-in sandpit

Thanks to all those that sent or brought gifts and to those that left messages on this blog.  Max was totally overwhelmed but played with everything and continues to bounce back and forth between his new stuff.

Here’s the wee man about half way through his “meal”
