barely fatal

Err…hello…this thing on?

Sorry, feel like crap, just spent the last three days looking after a two year old and a four and half month old and a poorly wife, and this is just after I have managed to recover from the same bug she’s got. Thank f**k for work tomorrow. (Wife’s a lot better now by the way, thanks for asking). Anyway, I figured I’d write something here, if only to see a name other than Jarod. Buggered if I can think of anything though, so this will probably be some random stream of consciousness thing.

Anyway, as most of you know, I’m not playing any online games, except the occasional bout of Bejewelled 2, partly financial reasons but mostly I just don’t have time right now. No point trying to do anything while Syd’s (my oldest) is around, she’s just learnt to use a mouse (at two!) and so wants to play on the PC all the time (yes, she has my genes). I’m not talking about randomly clicking around, I mean using the mouse to get to different parts of a website.

The family PC is Windows XP Home with an area for each member of the house. Those of you familiar with using multiple users on XP Home will know that you can select each user by pressing an icon on the opening screen. We don’t have passwords. Syd is now able to select her own area from the opening screen, open the CBeebies website and select her favourite show with absolutely NO HELP FROM ANYBODY ELSE. I just find that amazing, and a little scary.

By the way, is there supposed to some kind of point to these things?
