The General Babblings of Chris Wild

Yep, 34 today! Where has the time gone,? 34 years, “…don’t they go by in a blink”
My brother, sisteer-in-law and their son stayed with use over the weekend. It’s nice to have other members of the family around on a birthday. Luckily my birthday fell on a weekend so I didn’t have to take the day off work; I don’t work on my birthday, never have, never will.
Just into the new year and already the first week has been a little difficult.
The shower was still leaking after I re-sealed all the joints! Damn there was so much silcone around the shower tray that there was no way water could be escaping – inconcievable! However it turned out to be the grout between the tiles had given up the ghost. All sorted now and the shower appears to be in full working order.
The boiler packed up on the Sunday after New Years day! So we’ve been without heat and enough hot water for the last week. A boiler guy came out on Bank Holiday Monday and then decided the boiler really was knackered! The PCB motherboard had gone on it! Managed to get the manufacturer out to in on warranty, but it took them until today. Anyway sorted now. The irony is that we replaced the 20yr old boiler during the building works because we had to move it anyway and we figured it would probably die during or not long after being moved. 8 months later the new boiler dies!
With the heating and hot water fixed and the the shower, I’ve just had the best shower in the world – ever – 2!!!! After 5 days of small baths! Damn, thats what i call .

So, as you can see, my life is a little busy and I have a lot to do… aim high as they say!
Well I’ve finally got around to doing some work on DDR over the festive period. As mentioned before, I have to rewrite the UI, which is what I’m doing at the moment. It’s one of those laborious jobs, but everything will be good because of it! Trust me!
