jiveturtle.blogsite.org...Still Offline

Just to update you guys, my home server is still offline. What a nightmare. It has taken almost two weeks just to get to the nearest electronics store to get myself a new power adapter.

I get home last night, plugged everything, and hey it was working a treat...for 20 minutes only. Obviously the power adapter is not outputting enough power to the wireless router, looks like I'll be making another trip to Nova again sometime this week.

The escapade continues...

On the home front, still the same ole' same ole'. In-laws p*ssing me off righteously, especially the mother-in-law (MIL). The temperatures have started to turn up rapidly and having a kid in a hot stuffy room is not so good, so we turn on the air-conditioning to get ourselves cooled-off and comfy. So far so good, up until the MIL come into our room and says to my wife (her daughter) "Wah, haven't you gone a bit too far? Turning on the air-con in April?". Yeah..., go figure.

I have been spending a lot of my time on this site by Danny Choo. If you into Gundam, and anything Japanese, this may be the site for you! Go check it out!

Tomorrow is "Grave Sweeping" day, so we got a day off work. Hopefully I will do something productive...like getting some sleep!

Take care folks.

Rainy Weekend

What a way to end the weekend, being soaked top-to-bottom in heavy rain! It came very suddenly and we just wanted to get home, so we took the chance and ran all the way home in the rain. It was refreshing actually, I have had a lot on my mind recently and the being soaked certainly gave the brain a bit of a reboot. But then I realised Taiwan rain is quite acidic, not a good thing. Anyhow, I have updated my homepage with something useful for the lunch hours. Its a random lunch selector, which basically displays a picture of a local eatery which we would go to for lunch. It has been pain in the rear-end when deciding where to go for lunch. There are so many choices in the area where I work, so having something like this may ease the troublesome decision which we all make on a daily basis. I've also made use of the ned 8MB ADSL line by doing a bit of downloading and listening to online radio. Certainly makes a difference and if you guys can get it, then get it! I just read th...

Superman Snappy

Snap the man of steel and score points! My first attempt, I got 82. This will just have to do until I get a new camera.

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK...
