Homebrew
We've drunk about 50% of our first batch of beer, and that a
lot of it was before the three weeks of aging has something
to say for its quality. Our brewed lemonade has just been
bottled, and we now have a cider bubbling away in the
fermenter which will be ready for bottling in a couple of weeks.
Consluting
Yup, I'm still a conslutant. Doing some work for some most
excellent people who I used to work with at schnet.
Games
Had a bit of a play on the Sullon Zek Everquest PvP server.
Very different to regular PvE play, and a hell of a lot of fun.
Open Source
I suck.

Toilet-trained
Shadow is completely toilet trained, except when we've
changed the sheets and blankets on our bed. Good rabbit.

Mozilla
Have started using Mozilla again. Went off it a while ago
because it was a little too flakey for my likings. It's
very pleasing to see just how well it's come along since
then. Many hip-hip-hoorays for sensible cookie controls. :)
Shadow<RR>
Shadow's decided to accept me as another rabbit, albeit a
rather large one. He enjoys grooming my eyebrows,
eyelashes, and stubble. I can't imagine anything much more
ticklish than having a rabbit groom one's eyelashes.
Work/Consluting
Aaaaaaiiiiie! It never rains, it pours. I've been working
10-12 hour days for the last half-week, trying to deal with
quite a sizeable influx of work that's recently sprung up.
If all goes as planned (ha!) then it should be finished by
spring, and I can take a nice long holiday again. That would
be nice.
House
Roofing is done, restumping is done, we have hot water again
(ants nested in the gas booster and blocked up air-intakes,
starter-mechanisms and thermostats). House is good.
Homebrew
Our beer is drinkable, although kevinl's
tastes better, but has less of a head. The lemonade is
STILL fermenting, being slow because of the cold weather.

Rabbit
Shadow's delightful and friendly and still mostly litter
trained. He enjoying playing with hair, ariel manuvers,
high-speed laps around difficult obsticles, and bananas.
Work
Gmail has started at last. First invoice is away and coding
has begun. Oddly enough, I still haven't managed to get out
of the requirements documentation. I'm now in the process
of designing the stats reporting system (seem familiar?).
Open Source
F::Q is way overdue for a new release, with plenty of new
code having been submitted a number of old bugs fixed up.
After this release I'm looking at changing the way we
distribute the package and supporting files. Most of the
"quotelets" can be distributed and upgraded seperately,
which will make bugfixing and maintainence easier (don't
need to release the entire package whenever the ASX change
their website).
Desperately want time to work on the work-tracking system
for Obsidian. I
estimate that I need about a 180 hour day to clear out my
backlog of higher-priority tasks. Argh.
Gardening
Have a 1/2 share mulcher with our neighbours. Have mulched stuff in
yard, but need to mulch more. Now have more than 20 fruit
trees and vines, including:
- Lemon tree;
- Double-grafted orange tree;
- Lime tree;
- Mandarin tree;
- Tangello tree;
- Medlar tree;
- Vanilla persimonn tree; (gotta catch 'em all)
- Starfruit tree;
- 2 fijoas (spel? aka pineapple guava);
- 1 yellow cherry guava;
- 1 strawberry guava;
- Loquat tree;
- 3 plum trees (including blood plum);
- 2 apple trees;
- Apricot tree;
- Peach tree;
- Pomegranet tree;
- Red and Black passionfruit vines;
- Male and female kiwi fruit.
I'm just looking forward to them all fruiting. :)
Homebrew
It's all benno's fault. Have brewed up 20l
of "Coopers Sparkling", and have 20l of home-made lemonade
in the fermenter now. That the beer was drinkable both warm
and flat has much to be said for its quality.
Business
Obsidian is happy
and still turning a profit.

Shadow
Shadow has become extremely affectionate. I suspect it's
because he's cold, but he completely refuses to be put down
now. Whilst its a little more interesting trying to do most
tasks with a rabbit on one arm, I've found he's quite happy
to fall asleep in my lap as I type. Well, except when he
jumped up on the keyboard and rearranged my mailbox...
