- Some text incoming here, I warn you.Here's Asher. He's a little under 2 years old but we don't know for sure what age. His original owners apparently moved house and LEFT HIM BEHIND, literally abandoning him. He was probably just over a year old at that point.Thankfully the neighbours tried to take care of him but he ended up living outside as they couldn't take him in. They fed him and took care of him until they could get him a slot at a shelter. He landed at the second shelter a little later as the original shelter was not a no-kill shelter and he was on borrowed time. That's when I got the lead on him and it's taken a few weeks to get everything sorted out. Last night Asher came home. I caught this picture of him after just about an hour of being home. I think he's comfortable.He's a huge love-bug. He wants nothing more than to be petted and loved. Not surprising with what he's been through. I've got some training to do… he's housetrained and knows some basic commands but he's also still a puppy… "stay" seems to be problematic LOL.He and Nanuq are getting along just fine. I think we'll have a few scuffles over rawhides as Nanuq's used to having them all to himself and Asher likes them too. But nothing we can't handle.Welcome home, Asher. We're so happy to have you.#siberianhusky #huskiesofinstagram - February 1, 2026

- Classing it up tonight on the first night of a much needed long weekend away. Do not chug… - December 17, 2025
Yes, for those who’ve asked… I’m still alive and kicking. Just busy as hell with work and home stuff that’s been eating me alive.
Well, enough has happened of late that warrants an update I think. First is the fact that I can now update this thing from work when I’m not really busy… say during lunch… so hopefully I can get more time to work on this blog.
Second, and I’ve received some email asking about this, yes the MythTV box is ticking along quite nicely thank you. Still no pictures yet, but I’ll get some as soon as I get a chance to. It works really well actually, in fact some might say surprisingly well for a product that is (a) free and (b) not even at version 0.2! I’ll take some time later today to write up some more info about it for your enjoyment.
Third, I got my bike this weekend!!! Sweet! OK… so it’s going to take some practice for me to ride it. I have ridden before but it’s (a) been a long time and (b) that bike weighed a good 50% less than this new one. As a result my first attempt at riding the bike was a little… interesting. Ah well, some practice and I think I’ll be in good shape. Now all I’ve got to do is get the title changed, tax paid, plates… oh you know, all the fun stuff.
As I said, more later… when I get some more time!
