Everyone that works in my building got this in an email on Thursday (29/01/09)...
Diminished thermal comfort? Can't we just say it got really hot?

Ever since ITD started blocking this blog I've found it hard to update.
But now thanks to the wonder that is Google Docs I can post from work again!

The new (well to me anyway) feature is "Post to Blog". I can create my post in GD then publish it to my blog. This makes me a very happy camper.
I wonder how this will look once it's Posted?

I know, I know... I've been very slack in letting you all know what has been happening. Truth is I've been a bit busy.

When last we spoke, I had just received an email from my Dad and I was sending him one. He had asked me to call him and I really wasn't sure I was emotionally up to it. That all changed on Thursday. I plucked up the courage and picked up the phone.

I was really worried that we would have nothing to talk about, nothing in common. Well boy was I wrong!

Once we got over the tears and the Oh my lords, we just talked.

My Dad and I have quite a bit in common, We both love Sci-Fi, gadgets and tech toys. We have both served in the military, he was stationed in Belfast, Hong Kong and Germany to name a few. His first computer was an Altair. He had a C64 then an AT.

All the geek talk was awesome, but above all I realised I have a father that never stopped loving me. That still loves my Mother. That loves me without condition or reservation. It is an unusual feeling. I could get used to it.

Peace
