• Another Late Dinner

  For one reason or another this week, we have been eating at about 9pm every night. Its a killer... tonight I was out with the wife shopping in Kingston (South London, UK) looking in John Lewis at Cotbeds, buggys, car seats and all the assoicated bits and bobs. Its about 9 oclock at night at the moment, and the bought lasagna wont be ready for another 30 minutes. Man I am hungry.. and confused over all the choices of baby bits.. Not long to go now (due 19th November), so we are getting our finger out a bit more on buying what we need. I better start painting that nursery room soon as well. At least now I know that when I finally get that 2 seater sports car, I will be old enough for the insurance to be cheap (like 50 years old!!).

• Interesting...

  When I made my last post from Live Writer the tital didnt display correctly. It looked like this:   Windows Live Writer is a "hit" with me   If you look at my previous post title., you will see how it should have looked. I had to log in and edit it using the forum blog editor. A bug?? Share this post:                                        Posted Aug 16 2006, 10:02 PM by Paul E Davey with no comments

• Windows Live Writer is a "hit with me"

  Im loving this. This is exactly what I needed. In answer to your comment posted earlier Brian, I am 'loving' this. If this is what the final product will be like I wil be a happy bunny. I have always found it hard to login to blocast etc and create a new post, blog etc.. but this little application takes away all that pain! Its so simple and suits me down to the ground. I have installed it with the IE addin toolbar as well. I like the idea of being able to easily blog about a page that I have surfed to. So often I see something on a webpage and forget about it - now I can blog about it immediately, easily and quickly.

• Autodesk 3d Studio Render Farms

  Im working on a little project at the moment - setting up a test render farm for 3d studio. This isnt something that I have done before. It is quite a learning curve, but it is nice to be doing something different. Im setting up the test environment on 5 intellistations from IBM, all dual processor, 4GB of RAM. They are really nice units and seem to be processing the rendering images really well.

• Testing Testing Testing

  Just trying out Windows Live Writer for the first time. I havent blogged in a while and I have lots to talk about, but more on that later. Just trying out this new beta in the hopes that it will encourage me to blog that little bit more!
