I haven't been posting new pictures to the site lately, nor postings, as having a baby is slightly incompatible with whittling away the hours in front of a computer. That aside, there are some changes coming to the site.

1. Migration of photo gallery to Flickr
This one will take a while but the goal is to put all the pics up on Flickr - better service, the software I use, Gallery, is mostly unmaintained and doesn't do a lot of the things I want it to.

2. Improve the site.
This theme sucks and is broken in some browsers. I also need to patch up to the latest release of the uber-CMS Drupal.

3. Better integration to the places I am active
Pull from Twitter (primarily) and Flickr (once activated)

All very exciting, most people won't notice a difference other than more frequent pics and a better looking (I hope!) site.

Some news from the Cold Front - Declan is getting bigger, eating more, and sleeping more. Happy day! We are adapting to the changes the little guy brings.

We are slowly getting used to the scheduling required to let Rachel get out of the house and Declan ate from a bottle for the first time yesterday. Soon I will get to be the milk machine (surrogate) and Rachel will be able to galavant around and go skiing for longer periods of time.

The lovely Drupal elves ate the (lengthy) post that I just typed up (some kind of autosave would be nice in Drupal, no?) so the synopsis of what I just typed is as follows:

- we now have faster internet so I am catching up on 6months of un-posted pictures
- we now have a BABY BOY, named Declan, who is making us work a lot harder than we thought could work with this little sleep (although that gets better/worse on a day by day basis)
- we have been somewhat trapped in the house by nasty cold weather and are getting cabin feverish. But thankfully we have TeeVee to entertain us while we play with the new BABY BOY!

Pics of recent 2k8 events are now posted - follow me!

Recently we planted some green things in 25+ degree heat. The Yukon gave itself a smack and has returned to the normally scheduled 18 (sometimes) degree heat and the things that were green are now less robustly green. Some things are mottled. Some of the basil just didn't make it and the tomatoes are retreating to the indoors. However; the spinach is kicking butt, the turnips are cranking and the beets are missing in action. This may put a serious kink into the 100ft borscht this fall - GO BEETS!

Walter (the Guardian of the Potato Mausoleum +5 Death by Kitsch) has ensured that we have 7 of 42 potato plants appearing so far. I hope to get 40lbs.

Oh, and on a not green note the poppies are popping - lovely yellow. I will take pictures on a nice day when they are not being buffeted by 25km/hr winds and are more ready for a photo shoot.

Garden blogging is just my pace - updates once a week or less! Garlogging? Glogging?

I just got my new Hipster Doofus glasses.

I am now officially way more hip, doofy, and able to see. Who knew that your vision changes over time :P
