Happy new year everyone, I know it’s been a while since I last posted a blog entry but I can guarantee this will be my last for 2010 🙂

I’m still here
Sorry about the recent downtime, my host appears to have had some major problems, and when they finally did bring the server back online it had a new IP address, so I had to update my name servers, blah blah blah.
And to make matters worst for me, this all happened last week whilst I was away at Microsoft’s UK Techdays event in London. Anyway, my host’s server problem now seem to be stabilising, so hopefully no more downtime (but don’t hold your breath)
Happy New Year
I know I have been quiet lately, but I think my blog posting hasn’t been too bad in 2009. So my aim this year, is to be just as good (hopefully better, but you don’t want to set your goals too high!)
Hope everyone who reads this (and who knows me) has a great 2010!
Holiday Time
Well first of all I better apologise for the lack of updates recently, the first reason is my laziness, and the second is the fact I have been away on holiday (vacation). Anyway, I will try and get back into the swing of things over the following few months, and then before we know it, it will be Christmas 😉
In the meantime here are a few holiday photo’s (from the North East of England) for those who are interested.
Site upgrade
I have just upgraded to WordPress 2.8. I tried the ‘Upgrade Automatically’ button, but guess what, it failed 🙁
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip Unpacking the core update Could not copy file: /wordpress/wp-content/upgrade/core/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php Installation Failed
So I had to do it manually… At least everything appears to be working now, if you notice any problems, then please let me know.
Downtime
Apparently my site has been suffering with some downtime lately, this has now been tracked down to a problem on one of my hosts servers, they have now moved my site to a new server and DNS should finalise by 3rd June.
Mark’s Stag Day
Just got back from a great weekend in Bournemouth. Saturday afternoon was spent quad biking and clay pigeon shooting (which I haven’t done before). As I was part of the dual activity group I lent my camera to Andy. Here are a few photos from the quad biking session.
Golden Wedding
Skiing 2009
A couple of friends and myself have just gotten back from a good weeks skiing in the 3 Valleys. We stayed in the Residence Les Sentiers Du Tueda in Meribel–Mottaret. Here are a few photo’s that were taken during the week. Mostly the holiday consisted of skiing, eating lasagna and drinking beer. With the odd game of Uno and Pass the Pigs.
Leap Seconds
So when did you celerbrate the start of 2009? Did you remember to add a leap second last year? If this all sounds like gibberish to you, then take a read here.
Update
And I bet you all thought that this wouldn’t really matter, but no, it’s just like the Y2K thing all over again. Oracle have been caught by it and even Microsoft Zune’s.
