Bah, bah and thrice bah.

At the moment myself, Mrs Bob and c4 are all stuck in the same room. Whilst the builders are in we’ve got very little in the way of a downstairs right now - unless we fancy living amidst a building site, and it looks like we’re going to be stuck here for a few more days now until the electrics are sorted out.

With the back bedroom and the garage being filled with stuff from downstairs there’s precious little room to move about never mind set my computer up. Luckily, I’ve managed to wangle the modem and router downstairs so on those moments where the electricity hasn’t been turned off - I’ve still got some internet access via Mrs Bobs Macbook.

I dunno, I don’t think I’d have it in me to become a bonafide MacWanker, I’m so used to the way Windows works that the dark arts of Appledom are a little befuddling to me. Coupled with the fact the lappy isn’t mine so I’m having to be careful what I install on it (IRC, a messenger client, Oids and Cave Story being the extent of my hard drive filling to date…).

Needless to say, I missed the TIGS competition due to the upheaval in Chez Bob leaving me no time to code and G-Force and even RR are currently on the backburner (RR is running on real low power at the moment with Caff away on holiday and me taking a backseat). Building work should be done by midweek providing no major disasters then we’ve a week or so of decoration before things start getting back to peace, quiet and normal. In the meantime, it’s trips out with baby and wife most mornings and a rapid decline in interesting places left to go. Which considering so far my travels have taken me down the canal, Ormskirk and Southport - none of which could really be classed as remotely interesting in anyones sensible books, that’s saying something. Still, at least I’m getting to indulge in a tour of bookshops in the North West so neither myself, Mrs Bob or baby are currently short of reading material. (Currently wading through the rather excellent Bollocks To Alton Towers myself, punctuated with the occasional break for some Oliver Jeffers for baby)

I’m also idling around transferring some of the games to their own pages in readiness for the next iteration of MR, so don’t be surprised if the odd new page crops up in the sidebar on the right over the next couple of days.

So, apologies for not really being around blogging, looking after MR/RR or anything else right now. I’m not ignoring the replies to posts previous, just with intertron access being intermittent I usually have other more urgent things to do - y’know, calling someone a cunt on IRC or something… :P

Be back soon!

    Well, as much as I hate to admit it, reallife affairs, like family and a house turned upside down, /does/ take priority over blogging, so you’re forgiven. ;)
    I hope it turns out well in the end.

    Funnily enough, right now I’m sitting in front of the TV with my laptop for a change, and I’m actually watching “Mr. Blandings builds his dream house” (1948)

    I hope your situation is looking more hopeful than good ol’ Cary Grant’s…or I might have to come and give you a hand with the house. :)
