Still alive

Apologies for the long delay between posts. Truth be told, stuff outside work has been taking precedence over the last few months with the result that all non-essential business activities have taken a back seat. The ’stuff’ I refer to includes the house move that has been posted about previously, and as a result has required that I look after my youngest daughter pretty much full-time until she starts school in September (mainly due to the lack of available childcare in the area at short notice, but also because it’s an opportunity to spend some time with her before school starts).

However, I have had a little time to myself over the last couple of months, and have been considering changing my website from a highly limited, template-driven, ISP-hosted site to something based on a CMS. Early days, but I have managed to set up a virtual machine running Ubuntu server, LAMP and Joomla. So far it looks promising, although to do it properly I may end up moving this blog away from WordPress and on to whichever solution I end up with.

So normal service should be resumed in early September, and I would like to make the move to a new website by the end of the year. Watch this space !
