After finding a rather nasty rootkit installed on the shared server my site was sitting on, the nice people at wwwserver have moved my site to a newer system. So far, it seems to be slightly more responsive than the old server, so we'll see how this one gets on.

Zak's now 13 weeks old, so here's a picture taken this morning. He's turning into quite a chunky little ginger nut, and still manages to scream every single time we sit down to eat, but we still love him...

Since the sun was out today (a minor miracle in this country), it seemed appropriate to let small person number one soak herself in her paddling pool. Photographic evidence follows.

It is with huge regret that I have to announce the death of Megan Stopford, my Grandmother and India's Great-Grandmother. She died suddenly this morning, aged 83. She will be sorely missed.

For those of you who don't remember, there used to be a handheld electronic game made by Tiger Electronics, called LightsOut. I got bored travelling up to London on the train the other day, so I whipped out my laptop and started coding this little bit of fun. I came back to it a couple of days ago, and added the original 50 levels from the handheld unit.

Please remember that the whole thing was an elaborate attempt to waste time on the spectacularly dull Yeovil to London journey, so don't expect anything truly amazing. But its plus points are that: it's written in C#, it's got 50 really irritating levels and it demonstrates writing your own owner-drawn user controls. Full source code is in the Zip file.

Oh yeah, and if you haven't got it already, you'll need the .NET Framework to run it. Any questions?
