After an intense 6 month anti marriage campaign I finally proposed to Hannah (28th Dec 2014). Lucky for me she said yes. I have fairly strong views on marriage, what it should be and what it shouldn’t. I don’t (or should that be didn’t?) want to jump into it without being 100% sure. We’ve talked about marriage in the past and we both understand where we’re coming from, that’s what makes our relationship work so well. I finally asked her because it’s my commitment to her.

I gave up on CBT. The sessions were too infrequent and sporadic. I really didn’t like the over the phone sessions either they were too impersonal and didn’t really contribute anything.

Since I no longer have a magical content providing server in France I’ve been trying out a few different streaming services. Apparently this is a lot harder than it seems!

I finally did it! I moved from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 14.04. It’s not entirely great but it’s working and I can make as many changes as I want. Problems # Unity Launcher - Honestly it’s damned annoying, I hate how I can’t move it to the right hand side of the screen which would be much better with my dual monitor configuration.

After a conversation erupted on #drupal-uk about using the right tool for the job I decided that I would move my blog to something that was right for the job.

Explaining front and back end development to Hannah: Me - “… so that’s front end and back end development” Hannah - “I’m imagining you like a pantomime horse at the back end”

You become so desperate that you’re willing to try anything to get better. It’s a good thing to a certain extent. It shows that you’re at the stage where you want help in any form.

This was a very short session clocking in at 30 minutes over the phone. I can see what we’re trying to achieve through CBT but it just seems a bit pointless, I don’t think we really covered much of importance. I much prefer in person sessions as I can’t distract myself or become distracted by other things as easily.

Time is a funny thing, we emblazon it on our phones, our wrists, on our walls in every facet of our daily lives. It controls us whether we like it or not.

Ever since I bought a Pure Pro I’ve sort of been obsessed with the world of mechanical keyboards. As a developer I want to make sure I’m happy typing on something day in day out. It’s also very important that I can type fast and accurate so I have to be 100% happy with a keyboard. I’ve recently sold my Pure Pro which I was pretty happy with as it’s just not for me. I bought a Poker 2 ANSI (American layout) as a temporary replacement to it which I’ve been more than happy with. It currently has Raindrop keys on and a Tex acrylic case, it’s the nicest keyboard I’ve ever had the pleasure of typing on.
