Well, the class communion went well. All the kids really enjoyed themselves. The ceremony was very special with Father Grant making it very personal for the kids. It was also his birthday today, and the kids lead a round of ‘Happy Birthday’, which he wasn’t expecting. All the kids were presented with medals and certificates. Jamie looked beautiful!
The family is back at Graham’s now. Looking forward to our brunch (which has turned into lunch).

The Eminem Show
I’m just listening to The Eminem Show and chuckling away to myself. 😀 Very funny lyrics.
Quieter now
Things have quietened down now. We’re mostly sorted for tomorrow. It will be an early start — we need to get up at 7! Jan wants to be at church at 9:00 so she can sort some last minute things for the kids’ party.
Busy weekend
Another busy weekend. Cleaning the house this morning. Shopping this afternoon.
Tomorrow is Jamie’s class communion. We have to be at church at 9:30, and we’re having the family round for brunch at Graham’s house afterwards. Then Jamie’s got a barbecue at Finola’s house for Finola’s birthday. I’m not sure if we’re all going to that one.
Various other things to be fitted in too.
A busy Bitty day
A strange day today.
As I arrived in work there was a problem with the production system. So we spent a couple of hours scratching our heads trying to figure out what was wrong. In the end we moved the code over to the backup server area and it worked from there. It had to be an environmental/configuration problem but nothing was known to have changed 😕
I then spent nearly three hours doing a ‘quick ten minute job’! In between, I just seemed to be constantly responding to different request to ‘just look at this’, ‘can you help me with that’, and ‘can we go over this design for the other’. 🙄
In all a very ‘bitty’ day.
Still Poorly
Well, I still felt rough when I woke up this morning. But I had to go in work to brief someone before an important meeting. I needed to make sure that we weren’t taking on too much work for a new project with tight deadlines. But I wasn’t well and went home before lunchtime.
You know, it used to be that a cold didn’t make me stay off work. I guess its my age 🙁
b2 0.6 pre3 fixed broken XHTML
I’ve just had to fix the convert_smilies function in b2functions.php in order to maintain XHTML compliance.
Diffs are:
diff -r1.2 -r1.3 205c205 < $content = str_replace($smiley, "<img src='$smilies_directory/$img' />", $content); --- > $content = str_replace($smiley, "<img src='$smilies_directory/$img' alt='' />", $content);
I’ve added an empty ALT attribute to the IMG tag.
Working from home/ broadband woes
I’ve been working from home today. I stayed out of the office coz I’ve got a bad cold. It kept me awake half the night. 🙁
So I phoned in sick, but then worked from home anyway. That is until about 3PM when my broadband went down. 🙁
After much re booting of cable boxes and firewalls, it intermittently came back. Finally settling back to ‘on’ about 6pm.
I have no idea what was wrong. At one point, there was no light on the external NIC in the firewall, but I could ping the outside world from the firewall. Nothing else on the network could see the outside world though. Weird!
