    The Cardiff Triathletes’ had a swim coaching day from Robin Brew today. We had a couple of seminar sessions and a couple of sessions in the pool, and a breakdown of our strokes by video analysis. It was a long day from 11am to 7pm, and I’m knackered, but I learnt a lot about swimming,…

    I’ve just designed a 3Ghz system with an ATI 9800 Pro. Not for me though! I should be building it up next weekend.

    We’ve just booked a holiday to Spain with my Mum et al. and just found out that a Fontainbleau climbing trip we’re supposed to be going on starts the day we get back. Typical! The Spain holiday is about 2 hours from El Chorro too (massive bolted canyon climber’s paradise), but I won’t get to…

    Wow! It gets more and more interesting! Today I spent most of the afternoon moving several of our microscopes into a new room. Exciting, eh?

    We all went climbing at the Welsh International Climbing Centre today. Although I’m still a regular(ish), Kim doesn’t climb much since becoming pregnant with Jack. I’m trying to climb every Sunday and hoping to drag Kim and Jack out too. It’s hard work with the boy though, because he wants to crawl off and explore,…

    Freaky. It was the Network Associates (Mcafee) virus scanner that I installed to the webserver that was causing the problems with the webserver. I removed it and all seems well again. Wierd.

  • Downtime

    Sorry about the downtime. My cable modem hung and screwed up the DHCP renew timings for it and the router. I’ve reset both, so hopefully that’s fixed now.
