Blog Neglected

Steve West — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:35:14 +0000

Just realised I've completely neglected my personal blog! My excuse is...this is a busy time of year. Reality is, it really has been busy times both socially and for Mostly Mac.

Little Koën is now crawling and standing with probably little time now remaining before he's walking. He can also say "Dadadadada" which I'm taking to mean "Dad". He's quite an active and happy boy, despite being itchy from eczema!

The whole eczema thing has been quite a trial but after seeing a specialist and using the right products things have improved greatly. According to the specialist, eczema is genetic and is caused by a person's skin not producing enough of a particular protein. I was hoping he would get my skin genes...as I've never had skin problems (other than the usual stuff like Chicken Pox etc.).

Well, that's me done for now. If you're interested in keeping up with the world of Mac and my business, feel to check out the Mostly Mac blog.

Family

Until I had my own little family, I don't think I truly appreciated the importance of family. This seems to be a growing problem for the younger generations today since families seem more and more inclined to end up separated. The question is, how does one overcome this? Maybe our social system needs to adapt to the fact that relationships are not working out and find more ways to support them? At the moment the focus seems to be on enabling and acceptance rather than prevention... That's my two cents anyway!

Wish Koën would do cool stuff like crawling around like a caterpillar and say "Mum" over and over when I'm home!!!!

Punched out…

OK, wasn't quite knocked out but Koën's got to that point where he sometimes moves his arms very rapidly. Sometimes resulting in a blow to the face or last night I received a finger in my eye. Hmmm...do they make baby straight jackets? *kidding!*

Although this is basically a duplication of a posting on my Mostly Mac website, I thought I'd quickly mention it on my personal blog as well. Largely because this is interesting to me in a personal AND business sense! Soon I'll upgrade our home media centre Mac mini as well...just have to make sure that everything we use on there will work!

Onward begins

This being the inaugural post I thought it should be momentous. However, nothing springs to mind (this happens a lot!) so instead I'm just quickly going to say, today my business website went live. Yay!
