My new blog

Well here it is, my brand new blog. Apparently this interweb thing is all the rage now. It's something to do with tubes apparently . At least that's how one US senator attempted to describe the internet, when debating a bill in congress concerning the regulation of the world wide web. You can read about it here, if the fantastic quote below doesn't satisfy your curiosity

Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got... an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. [...] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

I hope that clears everything up for you then (and yes I know that story is at least two years old). The big (well fairly big news) is that Kim and I are moving house very soon. We've finally outgrown our two bedroom condo and are setting our sights on something a bit grander, or at least a house with a garden. We have done a lot with our place since we moved in almost four years ago, as the before and after pictures do show, if you look closely. Well, actually they're after and before pictures, but we'll put that down to not having decent image editing software, and me really not wanting to start all over again.


So we will be waving farewell to our trendy northside neighborhood Andersonville, just minutes from the lakefront and moving into the upstairs of Kim's parents house. Watch this space for more drivel and mindless news to come.........
