Made a gate...
Sorry for the lack of posting recently, things have been rather rough after the breakup with Haku. That doesn't mean I've been doing nothing though - I bought myself a bunch of power tools and made a gate for the chicken enclosure!
It definitely beats the old gate, which was the lid off an old chicken run lashed to the post with some rope - ahh, ( Read more... ) -
Furs On Fire
To celebrate the new year Haku and I attended Furs On Fire - a mini-furcon in the south of the Netherlands. There were about 60 people attending, the majority of which were Dutch of course.

Christmas 2012
For Christmas this year, myself and Haku made a flying visit to the UK. We departed the Netherlands together on the 22nd. The flight was quick and my parents picked us up from the airport, so by mid-afternoon we were safely back at my house. We didn't do too much on Sunday, just a few final preparations such as wrapping the last of the presents ( Read more... ) -
Sinterklaas!
Last weekend we celebrated Sinterklaas here in the Netherlands! In the UK this is all rolled up into Christmas in our rather jumbled traditions, but in the Netherlands it's a separate event ( Read more... ) -
Fursuiting Time
I went fursuiting on Sunday along with Haku, WhiteShadowFox and SparkWolf. We had an early start and drove an hour and a half to somewhere near Amsterdam to attend a small comic convention. The venue was rather strange, it seemed to be some kind of repurposed industrial estate, with large warehouses in various states of disrepair now filled with ( Read more... ) -
In the Netherlands
I'm back in the Netherlands visiting Haku again! I was supposed to be here three weeks ago, but I had to delay due to work (that is a whole other story). Unfortunately I apparently managed to catch a cold on the way here so I am a bit miserable at the moment ( Read more... ) -
Got a Laptop!
I got myself a laptop! I've never owned a laptop before, but with my frequent visits to Haku I decided I had better get one so that I can do my work while I'm over there. I opted for a 15.6" Dell Inspiron N5050.
CPU: i3-2350M CPU. This is the second generation of i3 chips, the "sandy bridge" version. My PC has the i7 version and I love it, so ( Read more... ) -
FIXED - Windows 7 - XP Mode virtual machine very slow network transfer
I use Windows 7's XP mode virtual machine as part of my work. I recently made some changes to its network configuration and found that file transfers between the virtual machine and the host became incredibly slow - 30kbps or so. I use a normal network share / mapped network drive to transfer files between the two ( Read more... ) -
Visiting Haku!
My trip to visit Haku is over (and has been for some time, oops - late posting). I had an amazing time, which I shall narrate for you.
Friday.
The journey got off to the most unpromising of starts. I arrived in plenty of time at Bangor train station and waiting on the unexpectedly crowded platform for the train that would take me to Manchester ( Read more... )
