When passwords become important

Posted on June 11, 2014June 11, 2014 By admin 2 Comments on When passwords become important

I was a bit out of it this morning when Bean woke me up so I made him a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs, put a movie on the magic box and went back to bed for a bit. As a side note,  the magic box I a media streamer connected to the house NAS. It contains all of Bean’s movies and TV shows, our movies,  and some movies of a more… grown-up nature. Now Bean is tech savvy enough to use the magic box remote and navigate between his stuff. When I got up this morning to get ready for work, I walked into the living room to see the child happily drawing in his colouring book.

He looked up at me and said “I don’t like this movie daddy. People are putting their pee-pees in other people’s mouth. That’s silly, isn’t it?” I remarkably kept a straight face when I agreed with him, put Garfield and Friends on and managed to get into the bedroom before bursting into laughter.

I put a password lock on that folder before I left for work :-)

This is Katy’s un-birthday present. It’s going to be the home of a siamese fighting fish when the water settles –  bringing the total number of critters to 3 cats, one hamster, one fish and one feral child.

Bean at the office

Katy and Bean came to pick me up from work today. The child fooled every one there into thinking he was the cutest, most well-behaved child in the world, then nicked several pieces of fruit, had a cup of tea then spent a surprising amount of time tidying up the lunch room.

I’m in Morges, not Montreux, and there’s no smoke on the water, but it’s a beautiful day and my feet are in the lake.

Beachside Bean

Went on our first daddy/bean bike ride. His bike is still a bit too big for him.  He’s fine once he’s off, and he’s a lot better at kicking off, but we still need to work on breaking without tipping over.  Gorgeous weather though.

That horrible feeling…

When you’re lounging in bed all warm and comfy,  thinking it’s the weekend, and then the alarm clock goes off.

Happened to me this morning. Not good.

First day on the bike

Posted on May 14, 2014May 14, 2014 By admin

I biked in to work this morning. Took me about 20-25 minutes, and it wasn’t too bad. The road is fairly busy but the people aren’t too aggressive on it and there are bike lanes for most of it. Still, in the coming days/weeks, I’m going to look for a quieter track. There are some really fun downward hills on the way in, which means that there will be some really nasty upward climbs on the way home. Not looking forward to that one :)

Update: it took me 19 minutes to get home. I might have used a bit more assistance, but I was going 45 kph for a while, when the motor kicks off at 25.

Quote of the day

There were no public health laws in Ankh-Morpork. It would be like installing smoke detectors in Hell.
