Well, this post has been a long time coming. Back in November ’05 I really didn’t know whether I wanted to bother with this blog. A young family and work commitments meant that I had very little time to write the kind of longer posts that I tried after previous hiatus<\/a>. Really, I found myself with little to say. So I posted a rather melancholic post entitled ‘Loser<\/a>‘ and left the thing to go to seed.<\/p>\n

One problem with this is that I kind of blocks your options for resuming posting – and the longer you leave it the harder it gets. Hence the year of silence.<\/p>\n

Over Christmas I moved the content from Community Server<\/a> to the suddenly fashionable WordPress. Writing the code to link the two systems Metaweblog API<\/a> endpoints together was an interesting exercise, and I also got a passing familiarity with MySQL. It didn’t actually produce any posts, though.<\/p>\n

Well, last week my partner, Debra, gave birth to our second child, Ben. I’ve been on paternity leave and we’ve been re-aquainting ourselves with deep fatigue and sleep deprivation. A wonderful time, though, and an opportunity to get some perspective on life. Since I return to work tomorrow (albeit telecommuting from home for most of the rest of the week), I thought that I might not get another chance to post here. So I have.<\/p>\n

Maybe this will break the block I’d put on myself.<\/p>\n

Mother and baby are doing well, btw. He has grey eyes, and we’re wating to see which colour they finally become<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some other things I’ve done since the ‘Loser<\/a>‘ post:<\/p>\n
