I realize that I have mentioned EMF a number of times now but not really explained what I am referring to. EMF or Electro Magnetic Field is a festival held every two years, where people do fun things with technology in a field.
There is fast internet and WiFi across …
We arrived at EMF1 and set up camp just in time to make the opening ceremony. Well, we were 5 mins late but the opening ceremony was 15 mins late. Unfortunately our 3 year old didn't want to sit in the marquee long enough, so we headed out.
I …
Warning This post is just be a typical rant from a dad having spent the day on the road. TLDR: road trips with kids are a pain.
So today we have driven from central Scotland to Droitwich, just North of Worcester.
As we were just getting started I found that …
Sometimes you need to appreciate the things you have while you still have them. Because when the washing machine brakes the week before you go on holiday, you certainly miss it.
Today we spent the day doing nothing. At least nothing I would consider answering "what did you do at the weekend?" with. We did make it as far as Tesco, but that was the only excursion.
It was partially nice to spend time as a family together rather than galavanting …
My brother-in-law and his wife were visiting this weekend, mostly to see their nephews but they also wanted to see some of the local tourist attractions in the area which they hadn't yet visited.
It was an opportunity for us to spend time as a family and also go to …
This weekend has been pretty busy in our house. We had our 4th of July picnic (on the 7th) where we invite lots of friends over.

It was a …
Alot has changed in 5 years. It is nice that some things don't.

I Loved you then,
I Love you now,
And forever more ∞
For Christmas 2014, I got a weather station from my parents. I have set it up to put the data online with weather underground and I can view my weather at any time by going to my personal weather station dashboard.
If for some reason, the system stops sending data …
I am currently trapped. Someone is asleep on my lap and I want to let them get as much as possible so I dare not move.
Unfortunately all the jobs and things I want to do require something about 3 to 5m out of my arm's reach.
It is rather …
My darling sister has just started a 3 week acting course in Glasgow and send me a wonderful little text:
How many actors does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, that's a techies job!
I sent 2 replies:
How many techies does it take to change a lightbulb?
Doesn't …
OK I have not been back 24 hours and already noticed the good aspects of living away. For one the internet doesn't stop at 11 o'clock. Last time I came home mum left internet on all night but I didn't notice till the next morning because I didn't expect it …
And when my sister ran off to get the book, mum looked the poem up on-line and had it downloaded just as fast as finding the book on the shelf. My sister objected to the modern way so mum had to start again only to get as far as 'not …
It would appear that whilst I was enjoying the sun yesterday lots of little buggers were having a feast on me! I have dozens of bit marks on my legs and they are VERY itchy. I want to threaten them with being squashed into tiny bits of pulp for what …
