I’m back, running at about 30% normal output! New child, no sleep, and the release of Grand Theft Auto 4 have all conspired to keep me away from the laptop and my normal RSS/Twitter addiction – but it’s slowly coming back!

I’m amazed at how many great things have appeared in the RSS feed in the last 10 days or so – and at the massive backlog if I wanted to read it all. Add in anything I’ve missed and will have to forego on Twitter, and countless other things, and it’s amazing how quickly a mountain of knowledge, information and chatter builds up!

Still, I’m going to have plenty of time in the early hours to catch up, with baby Oscar in one arm, and the mouse in the other…

Incidentally, GTA IV is as addictive as the previous versions (Although the shinier graphics do mean it’s a little disappointing that there isn’t as much variation in scenery as in GTA: San Andreas…). One interesting item is the use of a mobile phone which can be brought up on screen as needed with one button press…maybe it’s worth setting any desktop apps to run in the same fashion? And would these mean I could justify a customisable keyboard?

And lo, on Friday, April 26th, the most beautiful baby boy in the whole world was born!

So blogging will take a backseat I’m afraid

Apologies for not finishing off the importing of my old blog, tidying the design, and actually writing some new stuff – but my first born is currently attempting a world record for the longest labour, so I’m a bit distracted…

Normal service will be resumed shortly in the midst of piles of nappies, washing, and baby bottles…

I was wrong!

And not for the first – or last – time.

Turns out the Feedburner plug-in works as promised. It just took a bit of time for it to come into effect. That means I can now finish importing my widgets from my old blog, import my old posts, and we’re good to go.

Hurrah!
