A blog about nothing is moving...

If your bookmarks are for the old Blogspot address (http://parr0t.blogspot.com), you won't have noticed that the domain www.aboutnothing.info now points elsewhere. I'm hosting this blog on Tumblr now so if you feel like following me around the InterTubes, please update your bookmarks.

I make no promises about interesting posts (or even more frequent posts) but I do promise a cleaner looking site at least.

Back amongst the living again

It's been a while, and so much has happened yet nothing changes.

In the last couple of months we met Tori Amos, I was involved in a minor car accident, the car was repaired (and looks better than it did before the accident), my knee continues to recover well (I have permission to start running again. Yay!) and Elijah continues to grow and amaze us all.

University sucked up every spare moment that wasn't spent either at work, choring domestically or playing with the boy. I discovered yesterday that the effort was worthwhile as my final assignment mark was returned to me, just squeezing me up in to the High Distinction category, maintaining my perfect record (6 HDs from 6 subjects studied so far). There is still a long way to go as my current pace of 1 subject a semester will see me graduate at the end of 2010 {sigh}. With a bit of luck, the IT skills shortage will rage on unabated until then.

Work has been spotty and at times lacking in stimulation. The new year will bring some personal reflection and evaluation of where I want to be and where we want to be as a family. Interesting times might well be ahead.

Alive and well

I've received a number of notes from people checking to see how I'm going as the nasty looking photos of my knee are the latest bits of information I have up.

Briefly, surgery went well, recovery/rehab is going even better and I'm making daily improvements.

Life is good (but a bit achy at times).

Oops. No site stats for you!

Unintended consequence of switching to New Blogger #1

I didn't think to check that the javascript from Sitemeter followed the template over to the new layout. Turns out it didn't. Here I am, thinking that no visitors just meant no one cared. It seems that not only do people not care but machines are actively working against me, too.

My last recorded visitor was on 18 December 2006. By my calculations, that means that I should have received at least 4 more hits since then.

I'm so popular.

Offline for Christmas

Back mid-January.

Stay safe and have fun.

Christmas break

Well, the end of the year and Christmas is upon us all once more. As is often the case, it's time to rest, take stock and plan for the year ahead.

After an extended period of quiet from me, there's going to be another one. I need to reconsider much of what I do in my life (time online is just one of these things).

It'll be interesting to see what the new year will bring.

Peace and goodwill to you and yours...

Back again

Sorry, life's been hectic.

Apart from Elijah not wanting to sleep, I also started a new job on 16 November. It's been hard to find time to do anything but exist at the moment. Hopefully things will ease up again soon.

In the meantime, gratuitous footage of Elijah being cute at bathtime (for anyone who hasn't seen it on Little Elijah...)



I know, life's got so desperate I'm pinching content from my own blogs...
