Posted on December 29, 2009 by Tommy

Well, because it’s the holidays, I just lose track of the days. When you’re doing nothing but drumming and playing cards, you can’t really differentiate which is a weekend day and which is a weekday. C’est impossible! Yes, I’ve joined … Continue reading →

3 Days

Posted on December 28, 2009 by Tommy

The Night Before Christmas

Posted on December 24, 2009 by Tommy

Unscheduled downtime

Posted on December 22, 2009 by Tommy

Apologies for the drop in programming this afternoon. I tried to update WordPress to 2.9 and next thing I knew, I couldn’t reach my blog. Or Mum’s blog, or indeed John’s (*tumbleweed blows by*) blog. The man himself was asleep … Continue reading →
