Bees

The next couple of days seem to be all about Bees.

Today I discovered Adobe Labs Bee application, which is based on the Adobe Air application. This is basically a blogging application that allows me to write a blog post offline and then have it ready to publish when I go online. In fact I’m actually writing this particular post using the software and although am at home I’ve turned my wireless card off! If you can read this on my blog then you know it works. I’ve tried a few of this sort of thing, but have always found them to have some problems, so we’ll wait and see how this works out!

The other Bee thing is about tomorrow. Zoe is away this weekend at The Salvation Army’s “The Gathering” prayer event in Swanwick. Whilst she’s taken Abigail with her, Sian & I are staying at home. So tomorrow we’re having a Father & Daughter day out and amongst other things are going into Guildford to watch The Bee Movie at the cinema. It’ll be the first time we’ve been since getting back to the UK and I am really looking forward to it. While we were in Latvia, or at least before Abigail was born, Zoe & I shared the responsibility of looking after Sian pretty much 50/50. Since Abigail’s birth Zoe has been at home all the time and since arriving here I’ve not spent the same length of time with Sian as I used to. So two days together is going to be great! 

Changes

Those of you who aren’t reading this post in some sort of RSS feeder1 will see that I’ve changed the theme of this blog to a new one. I wanted something that would be fresh and new and feel that this new design gives a bit of that to the site!

On another note you will see a new link to the left under Navigation called ‘Reading’. For ages I’ve wanted to record the books I read in some central place and this seems as good as any. I’m also going to try to review the books I read, mainly for my own reference but hopefully it’ll be useful to others as well. I’m not the words greatest reviewer though!


1 BTW if you are reading this on an RSS feeder why not pay a visit and see the new design.

Up and running…

Yesterday the Broadband box arrived but I was in Bournemouth for the official welcome to our Divisional Commanders! Today after an induction day at DHQ I have set it up and we are now officially back online, complete with a secure wireless connection. This might mean that we will now be able to update more often.
