Madness

Thanks to James finding a new job, we'll be moving house in the next few months... well, if all goes well, we'll be moving house very soon, but these things can drag on a bit. We're keeping fingers crossed that this house sells relatively quickly, and we're doing all we can to get the house ship shape and ready for sale. Last week was completely mad for me - plenty of visitors, including three estate agents giving us valuations, a roofer to fix a small problem with the new roof, a doctor's appointment, a plumber, and my stepmother. I think...

Strangest Microsoft marketing scheme ever

.flickr-photo { } .flickr-frame { float: right; text-align: center; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Strange marketing (1), originally uploaded by digitalstrawberrygirl. More bizarre than the leaflet comparing server products to different types of shoe, this box arrived in the post on Saturday. What could be in it? It was the size of a CD case, so I assumed it was some sort of Microsoft Partner related CDs. No, it was something far more odd. Head to my flickr site and check out the other three photos to find out what's in the box!

Strawberry season

When I found British strawberries in Sainsburys the other day, I realised it was about time I updated the Digital Strawberry website.

The content part came from this blog, via the extremely cool ASP.NET RSS Toolkit, as available to download from www.asp.net.

Flicking

For those of you who are interested, I've been posting pictures of Nathan to my Flickr site. I'm keeping Nathan's pictures invite-only for now, so if you want to watch him grow, drop me an email and I'll send you an invite.

Still here

Time for blogging is scarce these days - as is time for pretty much anything. Some days, Nathan decides to have an afternoon nap, which gives me some time to myself... but not every day. In facy, most days, he's very demanding - refuses to play on his own without me watching, and prefers to be carried all round the house while I do things like make a sandwich, or carry laundry to and from the machine (quite a juggling act!). I reckon I'll have champion biceps and shoulder muscles soon :) Since I finished work I've managed to see nearly...
