Spec Assistant

Found this great little tool while doing technical documentation at work and thought it deserved a mention.

www.specassistant.co.uk

It does database schema which is really handy for me. Also does .NET reflection and Google Analytics

Well worth the price!

Heading back!

Hi Folks,

Having post poned the cold weather as long as possible (it is now getting cold in NZ!) we are on our way back to the UK - we should land in Edinburgh on April 27th so looking forwards to catching up soon.

Please send emails, job offers, abuse etc to the usual place, Sharon promises to read hers when she gets access to broad band again. I hope everyone is well, talk to you all soon.

Cheers,

Anthony and Sharon

Made it to NZ, and some pictures at last

Hi All,

 

We've made it to NZ and have been catching up with our respective families.  For a change Sharon has NOT been complaining about the weather :-)

 

I've been plowing through my photo's and have posted the first three days in Amboseli (only 101 shots).  As this was the start of the trip we were quite excited ("hey look, animals!" ... click, click, click... etc) so restraint was sadly lacking.  My editorial skills are also sadly lacking so I apologise for the volume of photo's and would appreciate feedback on which slightly similar images to ditch.

 

Enjoy!

On unrelated news, Sharon and I are now engaged.  Despite her father saying no.  He came around once I convinced him I wasn't asking to borrow his car.  Sigh - oh well - I am sure I will be able to borrow the car now I am one of the family!

 

Cheers,

 

Anthony

Sharon's winning photo - as promised -

http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/news-and-events/Competitions2/

"Sharon Jenner's stunning photo of a chimpanzee taken at Edinburgh Zoo's Budongo Trail won the prize for best photo in the adult competition."

No further comment really needed other than Sharon rocks. And needs to post some more of her photo's (ie catch up with 2007....) :-)

New Year's eve in Cape Town

Hi Folks,

Happy New Year all.

We're in Cape Town and celebrated our new year on the waterfront, with beautiful food, fireworks and half the rest of South Africa.

Lots of fun in Cape Town - highlights so far:

• Having a shower in the room, plus ensuite toilet - LUXURY!!!
• Tour down to the Cape peninsular and cycling through the national park, stopping by the ostrich family with 9 chicks, who were a it watchful but not aggressive - fortunately!

Wineries tour was fun however disappointing in that we only did 3 wineries, could have done a few more. Stellenbosch and surrounds stunning. Driving past Wellington, SA was a touch nostalgic too!

Hope everyone is well, we are here for two more days then on to Sydney. Finally, OUT OF AFRICA - wish us luck in Aussie customs getting our potentially Foot and Mouth soiled footware into Oz...

Cheers,
Anthony and Sharon (soon to be bare foot).
