This bit of brain fluff was created a few weeks ago during our downtime… er… enjoy…

(INT - DAY - SAM approaches Slimming World scales)

SAM - My name is Sam Randall. I’ve just eaten a pizza and that slice of pepperoni has taken me back to over 18 stone. I may be four stone away from [...]

I will spend September kickin’ ass on various issues. By the end of September life will be substantially better in a number of areas. Watch this muddafuddlin’ space.

PS - Of course I gained weight after my comfort eating fest. But I stand by my words - if you’re going to do it, [...]

Life is a bit of an assault on the senses for us at the moment.  Our house sale is rattling on nicely, but is at that stage where it could all go pear-shaped any minute.  I’ve got a job interview coming up and at the moment I’m working in probably the least mellow working environment [...]

And here’s my Face Your Manga pic.  Hm.  Not all that accurate… yet.   One thing is accurate, though, I forgot to put make-up on.

After seeing almost everyone’s Twitter avatars changing into little cartoon faces, and lots of links to FaceYourManga, I finally gave in and installed the latest version of Flash to give it a go.  The result isn’t bad.  I think it looks reasonably like me.

I’m not sure if I’ll actually start using it as my avatar, [...]

We had a walk over to West Exe Park today, where Tiverton Town Band were playing a concert.  It’s not often you see a bandstand being used for its intended purpose these days.

Photos follow, but a brass band really needs video first:

*Looks around*

Cor. What pigpogm lacks in real world decorating skills he more than makes up for around these parts. I am loving this new layout, and it’s really nice to be back with Wordpress. In making the decision as to where to take the site next, Michael contemplated many different options, but [...]

When we moved everything over to WordPress (from Drupal), we lost some data.

All posts lost their ‘author’ setting - for old posts, the site has no idea if they were written by me or Sam. Tags and categories - they did come over, but in such a mess that they had to be deleted. There [...]

…and we’re running WordPress.

It’s been an unpleasant time.  We’ve had to get the RAM upgraded in our server, but we don’t really know what else has gone on.  In the process of the troubleshooting, we migrated the site from Drupal to WordPress, and I think we’ll be sticking with WordPress now.  Drupal was great, but [...]
