Sytone's Ramblings

“ameliezerobirthday/IMG_5152.jpgIm proud to announce the birth of our baby daughter, she was born at around 15:00 today. She is 54cm tall and weights 3.85Kg (8.5 Pounds). Her name is Amelie Jade Bullen. We opted for a home birth and it was worth it. The two midwives were excellent and it was much calmer having all our own stuff around. Photos are now up”

“So no news as of yet, we are still waiting for the arrival of number two.”

“Two friends of ours got married on Saturday (Tim and Ginny) it was a toss up wheather we would make it or not but we were able to in the end! It was a great day and kind of surreal being in the banking distric where you can get a car park and there are no other people around. They also got married just down the road from our old place at Bow so it was also a bit weird driving and walking through our old haunts. I have a few photos from the occasion.”

“Two weeks ago we had the first BBQ of the season so I have the photos up finally. Not many due to the dead battery issue.”

“Since the battery on my camera is now working I thought I would give it a run, so I asked Anja if she wanted her photo taken and she said yes. No supprise there So here are some photos of here having fun in the bath.”

“Jane is pretty tired now with the iminent relase of Bullen V2.0. I have a new battrey for my camera and it is ready to go. Easter was fun with some friend coming down to stay and we went to Hever Castle and did a pub lunch on the Sunday. The Friday was a BBQ at some friends place so all in all a nice relaxing weekend. I haven’t had much of a chance to do anything else other than play a bit of World Of Warcraft, quite good fun as I like the socail aspect of Internet Gaming these days.”

“Anja went for a walk in the snow this morning and loved it. I have uploaded a few photos of her. If we are lucky we will get some more overnight! On another front in my quest to get some level of organisation in my life I have read the following book ‘Take Back Your Life’ and its implimentation in outlook works very well. Im still suffering from lack of weekly meetings. ”

“Cold off the press we have snow. Hopfully it will stay till the morning and Anja will see it. Some night time photos are up here”

“Some photos are up, I have been tring to find a decent way to orgainse my photos. Adobe Photoalbum was a bit to much bloat for my liking, Microsoft Album is quite good, except none of them allow any sort of plugin that I can create! I am working on a .Net API for Gallery, I have it at the point where it is listing the albums and can upload, next the rest of the protocol. I have joined a group creating a photo album in the vain hope it will meet all the needs of all the users out there, it is funny that all the photo albums out there think they need to do photo editing, if they stopped at crop it would be good! Focus on the organisation.”

“A merry christmas to one and all. I hope santa brings you all the gifts you want. Im just hoping that Natural Selection gets ported to Half Life 2 After Anja has opened her presents I will HAVE put some christmas photos up!”
