Bye Bye 2015

2015 was a pretty big year for myself and my little tribe. We moved back to Australia after living in the US for 3 years, this time settling in Hobart, Tasmania. Another new city (and state) for all of us, but it quickly felt like home. As much as I'll miss being an hours drive from one of the world's best skydiving dropzones, I'm very happy to be back in my home country.

Looking back on 2015 it all seems like a bit of a blur. Beyond the obvious craziness of packing up our lives and moving across the planet, having our little baby grow into a toddler was pretty epic.

Looking forward to 2016 and things are sure to get even more crazy.

Hopefully in the next few hours we'll get confirmation that the final hoops have been cleared in buying a house. We'll be packing everything up again for another move in February, the upside is that should be the last time we'll need to do that any time soon.

Once we're in the new house we'll be making it feel like home and preparing it to handle a family of 4; our second child is due in May. I'm sure the place will feel like a mad house with an infant and a 2.5 year old in it, but I've got the feeling that it'll be wonderful.

Hello Old Friend

I've kicked fuzzyslogic.com back into some kind of life; essentially hacking together a very simple replacement for the fairly complex system I had in place previously. I actually feel pretty proud of what I've got running as a replacement for the old Yahoo Pipes! version of the backend for the site. At some stage in the near future I'll post a more detailed explanation of it over on my Fuzzy's Projects Blog.
