New Years resolution - blog more!

general No Comments »

Definitely high on my New Years resolution list this year is to blog more. I’ve been absent from regular blogging for a while now, mainly due to getting my house in order - but i’m happy to say it’s very close to finishing, only today have I plumbed in the new bathroom so now everything is in and working - just a few tiles to cut and that’s another room finished.

I’ve ventured into the x10 play arena with a few little bits and bobs - motion sensors on the stairs to turn on airplane style emergency lighting running up the stairs - i’ll be playing more with x10, there are some really cool wireless alarm systems etc. out there

If you’re a Daily Source Code listener you’ll already know about this but ‘PodSafe for Peace’ is a remarkable achievement - a collaboration of podcasters/pod safe artists from across 8 countries remotely recorded and then mixed into what’s turned out to be quite a nice song with all proceeds going to UNICEF!

Since upgrading to BlogCFC 4 with the introduction of trackbacks I think i’ve had 1 true trackback and about 2 dozen spam trackbacks - it gets boring killing them each time so i’ve turned them off for the time being.
