2009 September | A bit of this and a bit of that

Check out the twins – on video

I had a play with Qik today, a service that lets you stream content live to the web, and took advantage of a couple of new-borns to make a sample video. Ok, I’m dead proud of them, so want to show them off to the world, so here they are: They’re looking great aren’t they!…

Week 2 of this diet

photo credit: avlxyz Well, this week hasn’t been too bad, but I don’t think I’ve managed to lose any weight. My social life has just been a bit too hectic and I’ve been eating out lots (including a trip to the Chinese last night). I knew I’d be having a big meal, so I skipped…

Lost a kilo this week

WEIFANG, CHINA - JULY 24: Overweight students...

Image by Getty Images via Daylife It looks like I’ve managed to lose a kilo this week, which is not bad going I guess. It feels really hard, all that effort for just 1 kilo, but if I manage to keep it up, week after week, it will all build up. There’s 13-14 weeks till…

Happy Geeky Day

Isn’t it nice when you get those days when you get the change to play around with something you enjoy? Well, today I was messing around with my HomePlugs which let me use my network over my power sockets. I got them to get my Dreambox connected, but also looking at the option of using…

What’s for dinner?

Well, the first week of my diet is almost over and I’m getting used to the routine of staying at 1500 calories a day. The nice thing about it is that it’s helping me identify when I tend to snack and where my weight increase comes from. It’s mainly “cleaning up” after Arthur, or snacking…

Twins will be here any time

Well, it’s still a few weeks to go till the official due date, but Camille‘s started getting loads of pains; you know the sort, bands around the abdomen; contraction pains actually. They’re not steady or regular, but it’s enough to indicate that we don’t really have long to go. I hope the pain doesn’t get…

Day 2 of the diet

Two Sainsbury`s Basics digestive biscuits.

Image via Wikipedia Well, today has been much much better than yesterday. I’m still under my 1500 calorie quota, which means I can even afford a biscuit if I want it. It’s quite a simple diet really, no phenocal or any other drugs. The trick is to sum up all the calories you eat and…

Starting counting again

This picture was reworked by the Bilderwerksta...

Image via Wikipedia So, I’ve started counting calories again. I mainly manage to keep my weight stable without trying too hard, but over summer I’ve put on a couple of kilos every time I went on holiday. With three different holidays you can guess the damage .. and unless I stay on the straight and…

Playtime tonight

Well, it’s playtime by my definition, as I have 2 gadget to play with at home. Camille just told me that my Buffalo Linkstation has arrived. It’s a NAS device with redundant storage, or in other words, somewhere I can put my photos and videos without fear that they may be lost. It’s a nifty…

So when will they arrive?

If I were a betting man, I’d be taking odds on when the twins are due to come. The actual due date (based on calculations from date of conception etc) would be 13th October. Our doctor says they won’t let her go past the end of September though. The thing is, Camille’s been having practice…
