A Quick Update

Just a quick update because I haven't blogged in a little while.

On the health front, I'm making slow progress on the weight loss issue. I was doing pretty well and had managed to get my weight down to 128kgs however a bout of seasonal flu (not the swine kind) put a crimp in my exercise regime and so I'm back up to 131kgs. Sigh.

On the bio-diesel side of things, I've been quite happy with my previous experiment and am now pricing the materials to make a bigger more permanent reactor. I'm also tentatively investigating what it would take to wire a bio-diesel friendly generator into the house. We had a 20 minute power outage today and I'd like to get to the point where when the power drops out, we're the house with the lights still on ;)

I'm going to be presenting at SLUG by the way at the end of the month. I'll be talking about the work I've been doing with Plone and local governments, the ups, downs and possibilities.

May I ask what exercise you are doing?  I too am having a torrid time losing weight.  I find myself spending too much time on the computer instead of exercising.  Junk food is also a weakness.

Essentially I've been using our cross trainer for half an hour each day.

Combine that with walking up to my kids school occasionally and starting to watch what I'm eating and there you have my whole fitness regime up until now.

I've noticed a number of gov agencies now switching to plone.. which agencies have you been involved in? only curious incase it's hosted via my employer :)

Hi Michael,

I've been working with Local Councils, Shires and so on. I host on my own infrastructure and build the services to meet certain needs.

There's a lot of work being done with Plone in the Gov space overseas as well.

Yes, I've noticed a large increase in the number of government departments putting plone on systems hosted at the ac3 datacentre.
