    It’s a shame you can’t take photos in the swimming pool, because Jack and I went swimming first thing this morning. He’s such a good swimmer – Kim’s done a good job, taking him swimming regularly. The lessons are well constructed, teaching the kids useful things like swimming back to the side after jumping into…

    Kim and I have swapped phones. She now has a photo phone, so maybe she’ll start a moblog? Here are a bunch of small videos from the Sony Ericsson K700i, of Jack. Some are from today, and some are older. If you don’t have it already you’ll need the latest version of the Apple Quicktime…

    What did we do this afternoon? (In reverse order, like the rest of the blog, with the most recent photo at the top). Bit tired after all that! Climbing. Playing on the swings. Playing in the pool.

    It’s just Jack and me today. Kim’s been called to do jury duty, so for a week we’re swapping roles (almost). So far, so good. Jack and I have been doing the usual stuff, plus out cycling this morning for a run around in a shady park and then to pop in to Tescos to…

    Maybe some photos will cheer me up. Jack’s browsing the games on the Teletubbies website. They start young these days, eh? Everybody nicks my iBook. Its wireless internet connection is very popular. Jack’s loving the new garden.

    What the fuck just happened? England hadn’t been playing too badly, although midfield was looking a bit tired in the second half (by my uneducated vantage point). But we were 1-0 up against France. In the opening game for England in the European champs. And we’d survived 90 minutes. It actually looked as though England…

    How the hell can you mute Ron Atkinson but keep the noise of the crowd? I’d pay money for that.

    From Halflife2.net: June, 10 2004 – Arrests have been made in several countries related to the break-in to Valve’s network, theft of the Half-Life 2 source code, and release of the source code on the Internet. “Within a few days of the announcement of the break-in, the online gaming community had tracked down those involved,”…

    I just gave Jack his bottle and put him to bed. I laid him down, gave him a couple of stuffed toys (his cat: “purr purr”, and his monkey: “ooh ooh”), and said, “night, night”. For the first time ever he said, “night, night” back. Superb.
