For those of you in for’n parts who might not know better, today it snowed properly across large parts of old Blighty. This lead to an abortive attempt to get into work, which in turn forced me to work out how to set up a VPN connection to our corporate network on my home Ubuntu box (easy enough) and how to remote desktop into our servers (even easier).
Later, we played with the kids in the snow and Louise got out her family heirloom Swiss sledge. Ben fell off once but no bones were broken. I got to play with my new (and awesome) Nikon 18-200 VR lense. I’ll upload the pictures to Flickr when I get a chance but I’m building up a backlog of techy items to get done (get with the cool kids on Twitter, upgrade blog software, install anti-spam plugin on blog, install Twitter plugin on blog, fix up tags and categories on blog, move neworbit.org domain and email hosting, move blog hosting…) so I don’t know when that might be. Then again, here’s me wittering on about rubbish instead of tackling said list, so clearly I’m on the lookout for displacement activities.
