We’re back! Now what?

Awesome. The site’s been down for a month and we’ve apparently completely fallen off the Google bandwagon, and therefor for all intents and purposes, off the internet.

We moved and so did our internet connection, except my ISP (xs4all) failed to send me a new modem 3 times in a row, resulting in the extreme long downtime of the sites.

So yeah, no traffic left whatsoever, now what?
At least it’s good to be back. I’ll add some vacation piccies, some from the move, and then finally upgrade to WordPress 3 and take it from there.

I like to move it move it

We’re gonna be moving soon. So soon in fact that we’ll have a bit of a problem with our internet connection, so the site will probably be down for the first days in July.

Scouting the uni

Our main mission today was checking out whereabouts in Maastricht the faculty for Arts & Culture was seeing as Katelynd’s probably going to start there in September.
Our sidemissions included eating icecream and enjoying the sunny day.

An update

The iPad has been released! And I still can’t think of why I would want one other than the cool new factor. I’m dreading the release of the iPhone 4G later this year though as I’m on a 2 year subscription for my 3G, and given how much I <3 the 3G I know I’m going to want the 4G.

World of Warcraft proves to be more of a timesink than I’d anticipated. It’s still seriously fun, level 66 and going strong.

Vacation was fun, chilling at Centerparcs. Archery was memorable, as well as kickin’ back in the pool with the Mrs. and the kids. Watching Amy splash about while Eve was running, crashing and diving everywhere and from everything like an unguided missile was awesome, regardless of my usual dislike of anything to do with swimming.

My contract got renewed for the next 2 years. Demanding job, but satisfying, and a boss who keeps pushing me to do better. Feels like I’ve got a career again instead of just a job.

So yeah, blogging. No time, no energy, but mostly too lazy because I’d rather play WoW. Checking out the themes available at the moment I still don’t see one that does what I want here, so I’ll probably continue spending the odd hour here and there working on the theme I’m using here. I’ve got a few kinks to work out in that I need the CSS to change based on the category (or other variables), which isn’t possible with this theme at the moment. But I like a good challenge. Most WordPress themes still hardly use any of the gallery functionality, which is a shame given its potential.

Oh, and spring time! Sunshine how I’ve missed thee. Bring on the green everywhere so we can unleash our Pip and Voidwalker on the unsuspecting masses in parcs and playgrounds everywhere.

Vacation time

Finally! Time to kick back and relax.

Computer deskspace

We finally rearranged things so we can now both use a computer at the same time instead of having to take turns. The main idea was that we’d be able to work on themes and coding and graphics together, but somehow the new setup was abused to us both playing a World of Warcraft trial. Ahem.

Weekend!

It’s Thursday evening and I hereby declare weekend. Life is good. Maybe I’ll finally get round to that Snow Leopard upgrade. Or crash with the flu. Either way, first 3 day weekend since August.

Happy Halloween

Tonight we’re off to run around the ‘haunted’ forests of Limbricht with about 500 other people.
Have fun whatever you do for Halloween.

A day at the beach, fail again

Beach fail Oostende

I don’t know what it is about us and going to the beach, but just like last time and the time before we ended up in a rainstorm last Friday and only stayed there for a short time before running back to the car all soaking wet.
Some day…

Work in progress... not home!
Trying to get all/most of the new code working before I start on the eyecandy.
