In The Trenches – Permanently!

Dec 16 2007 Published by Dom under misc, podcasts, tech

Despite my avid Mac-love, I do listen to a few Windows podcasts, since I will be working with them soon (call it wishful thinking). These include Windows Weekly with Paul Thurrott (I used to read the blog a long time ago, back when XP was in beta!)

Anyway, I recently discovered ITT (In The Trenches) which is a great podcast for IT professionals, by IT professionals, where Kevin, George and a slew of other guest hosts,  chat about general IT stuff, like servers, mail systems, networks, qualifications, and share some handy tips, in fact it was George who provided the iPod Backup idea and system.

Well, this was their last podcast recently as they’re closing it down. Kevin’s site is going to be reused for his own purposes as he moves on to a busy time in his life.

Anyway, wanted to post a thanks to them all for the great discussion and info they’ve given me over the past few months, and wish them both the best for the future.

Feel free to check out some past episodes before they vanish from the site.

Rest in Peace – Twinkle

Dec 12 2007 Published by Dom under misc

I got news today that our cat of over 19 years, Twinkle, was put to sleep the other night.

She had been getting worse recently over the past few weeks, and this weekend she got a lot worse quickly, and after a word with the vet, it was discovered she had either a kidney problem or an over-active thyroid.

In her honour, I made this video, and by made I mean put music to this video.

Here’s just one of the 131 photos I took during the first real holiday this year. I had a week off and went up to Fort Augustus with my girlfriend. It was really nice up there in Scotland. Plenty of gorgeous scenery.

We took a trip out on the Loch Ness and even saw Nessie (see Flickr Set)! Took a trip on the Jacobite Railway over the viaduct from the Harry Potter films
