Upgrading to Wordpress 2.0

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

Wish me luck, I am just about to upgrade. While I am happy with my current wordpress install I need to be on top of developments in the blogging world and this can be considered a big development for many people.
Besides, it might be neat.

Back for Christmas

Monday, December 26th, 2005

We arrived back in the UK to the sight of Manchester at its most miserable. Foggy, damp, dark, cold, depressing Manchester. After the beauty of Canada what could be more of a contrast? Despite the English weather being against us we got back to our house in good time and safely, thank God.

Downtown I have a love-hate thing with. I am never particularly enamoured with [...]
