Sally’s given birth to her & Darren’s new son, Micah James, and 2 & 1/2 weeks early no less.

Congratulations to Sally for obvious reasons & to Darren for not fainting .

Photo of my new baby. Awwww:

2 days old, look at all that hair!

At 5:33am this morning my wife gave birth to our third child, Lillian Elizabeth Slaven. Mum and bub are doing fine & should be out of hospital tomorrow, God willing. Prayers for them are appreciated (and for me, that I’ll be able to cope!)

I’m likely to be incommunicado for the next few days, so if anyone posts any questions about Wordpress plugins, I will get back to you, just probably next week some time.

It’s now 15 minutes past the day when baby number three was due.

Any time now….

… any time at all…

Meme time! Daniel posted about this and it got me thinking, so here’re my answers:

1. Total amount of music files on your computer:
   2691 Songs -> (11.44GB, inluding about a 1/4 of that being from one of the other guys here on our shared drive)
2. The last CD you bought was:
   Seriously cannot remeber the last CD I bought. I used to buy at least one a week, but I seem to have other expences these days
3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
   The Fly - U2. Funny, I’d just cracked out the U2 today myself.
4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
   • One - U2. Although my feelings about all of Zooropa are about the same as Daniel’s
   • Frente - Ordinary Angels. I love this song - even though you own your own comet
   • Crowded House - Fall at your feet & all of the Together Alone album.
   • Jars of Clay - Worlds Apart.
   • The Cure - just in general.
5. Who are you going to pass this stick to? (3 persons) and why?:
   Whoever wants to, the three people that read this I guess.

As Joel already mentioned, I’ve been toying with Wordpress, and I’ve decided to take the plunge and switch.

One of the main reasons (other than peer pressure) is the ridiculously huge amount of trackback spam I’ve been getting lately. Word is that wordpress handles this much better, so I’m going to give it a go. If all else fails I can always just switch back!

As is plainly obvious, as of yet I haven’t done much with the template design. I’ve only just started on the template design, this is on my todo list, along with a couple of other things:

1. Finish setting up .htaccess redirects from MT permalinks to the new Wordpress links (If any old links don’t work, please let me know)
2. Do up a nice template design
3. Implement the document revisions system (The stylesheet is already in place I just need to put the stylesheet switcher into the template. If you’re using Firefox you can see the revisions by selecting ‘View -> Page Style -> Show all revisions’)

We’ll see how it goes.
