Cup of dog?

Worked from home today as we were having a fence built because some scrote was wandering past our house and decided to have a crack at kicking our fence in. The pathetic excuse for an individual knocked one fence panel down. Our fence was pretty flimsy anyway, so we decided to get a decent one knocked up.

So, I got up today, made myself a huge cup of tea:

I worked on various bits and pieces including some research, some hacking and also caught up on some email. This week I am giving a PHP and MySQL training course and I also prepared for that. I do enjoy doing training. I definitely get a buzz when I see people learning and getting enthusiastic about Open Source.

Today I have also been trying to get Breezy up and running. There is one particular package holding up hundreds of others. I have been running an update and dist-upgrade every hour all day and it is definitely a bug in the package. This is a shame – I am looking forward to playing with Cairo in Breezy. GTK 2.7 was in there when I last used it, but it seemed that the cairo.gtk Python module had gone amiss.

While working at home today, I worked downstairs in the dining room. Next to me is Banger’s bed and he was asleep most of the day. At one point I got up to go and get something, and I quite obviously woke him up and pissed him off:

Before getting Banger I never would have thought dogs could have facial expressions. Is that one pissed of dog or what?

Oh, and last night I finally mixed a song that has been resident in my studio for a while. This one is about remembering those who offer sacrifices for us. It is an acoustic instrumental and I am really pleased with it. Go and listen to Remembered now!
