The web host I’ve been using for the last seven years has been hacked multiple times in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, they didn’t bother to tell any of their resellers or account holders about the security breach.
After having cleaned out the malware, etc. from my sites just last week before I could get [...]

A fairly early start to finish sorting what will stay with Steve for his trip up to Aberdeen to teach a class and meet with a few clients and what will go home with us. Took a shuttle service out to Heathrow followed by all the joy of getting home. The boys and I said [...]

With all the walking yesterday I was not up to much today. Steve and the boys planned to visit the Tower of London and Tower Bridge then go to te Science Museum. Turned out they spent over 5 hours at the Tower and they never made it to the museum. I met them at Tower [...]

The boys of course wanted to ride the London Eye. Since I’ve already been upon it I decided to save the £12.50 and have a decent coffee (the hotel coffee is vile) at the cafe there while Steve and the boys went up. The day was nice and sunny but the wind on the [...]

I met with Julie Ray. the Microsoft EUMA MVP lead. We had a nice coffee and pastry before going up to the Microsoft office. Quite a nice view she has even if she doesn’t have a private office, Julie said when the Eiffel Tower has 3 cycles of its lights she knows [...]

We continued catch-up in the morning. I strolled down to do a bit more grocery shopping including beer. While there I had a nice quite solitary breakfast of cafe a last and pain au chocolat. Around 11 we hopped on the metro and headed for the Louvre. Before entering we had crepes for [...]

When we arrived just after dark all three levels were open but by the time we reached the front of the line only the first and second levels were open. I’ve never been able to go to the top so that while disappointing it was not terribly surprising. We went to the second level [...]

Was catch-up day, the boys were behind in their school work and Steve still needed to finish his presentation My legs and feet needed a day where they were not being used for hours at a time. Plus we needed some laundry done. I know it seems a sacrilege but then are still [...]
