Smashing Stuff!

Happy New Year everyone! It's my first blog post for a while and here's why:
Moving House
This is one of the greatest areas of stress a family can have, and this one happened without much warning. The owner of the house we lived in came back frm overseas and gave us 42 days to vacate...perfectly lawful but pretty stressful, coming just before Christmas.
Packing, throwing out (at least half my computer parts collection), transporting, setting up, etc etc. What a task!
Everything I had planned for the Christmas holidays went on hold. We now live about 500m from where we did before. It's a smaller house, so lots of boxes are stored downstairs. Most of my computer related stuff is inaccessible...even my beloved G5 Powermac is no longer able to be set up - yet.

The next change is a bit more critical to this site. I need to reinstall the dreaded Windows Vista on the machine I use to edit my site. That means backing up data, saving program information, deactivating Photoshop, Premiere, etc and trying to get all my passwords sorted out. I wasn't very orgamised when setting all this up and I have no idea what some of my (saved) passwords are any more.
It might take weeks to get all this sorted out. Therefore, no updates on the site for a while.

Even more interesting: I succumbed and bought the upgrade to version 9 of Website X5! I will be trying to update this site from version 8....and I hope it goes well. I might have to do a complete revision in version 9 to get it to work ok. That will be a good test of the software (which has been excellent so far) and also the helpdesk at Incomedia...

So, WATCH THIS SPACE to see how my journey goes. If I can do it, then so can any of you and I will include progress updates here on the site (as long as I am successful that is)!
