Eye update and a bit of an Enigma

Back to the consultant today for a followup to a mad dash to Ashford the other week.

Cornea is looking sound, the soreness appears that it may possibly be caused by a reaction to the sutures round the side if my eye for the squint surgery a year ago. So back onto the really strong steroid drops for six weeks which may sort things out and then back to the consultant to see how things are going.

The downside is that the strong steroids are likely to provoke my slowly developing cataract. Oh well.

In other news I finally unpacked and did an inventory of my wedding anniversary present from mrspao: An Enigma E which I have been hankering after for several years.

Pics for now over here.

Still alive and kicking

OK OK it has been a while.

Mrspao has commented (not here obviously) that I don’t blog much these days, and to be fair it is true. At the end of the day I really have not done anything I consider as blog worthy. That is not to say that I have not been doing anything, far from it. I think it is more a case that my life has changed quite a bit since I started my new job that I just do not feel a need to blog. That is not to say that I won’t feel a need to blog at some point (like recently) more a case that at the moment I don’t.

As things go, new job is good and at the end of the month I finish my probation period and whilst I await official confirmation, the appraisal I had a couple of weeks back was a reasonable clue that I don’t need to start scouring the Jobs Offered ads in the local paper just yet. As far as things go from being an institution that officially does not do Macs 8 months ago, we now do do Macs and I have a reasonable budget to spend on Mac infrastructure over the coming year, the DNS/DHCP systems are due for replacement and we need an IPAM system and I drew that as well along with the replace the email routing system. So fun projects ahead on top of the normal day to day work.

Books have been read, not even come close to one a week for leisure purposes sadly. So book reviews will appear at some point.

We have been to places, pictures have been taken and dumped into Aperture to be sorted out and uploaded eventually. I am still sorting out the thousands of unsorted pictures slowly but surely.

So things are happening, I have been busy that is all.
