Am I mad or what?

I have enrolled in two subjects for next semester, SQL and Technical Documentation. One shuld be interesting, and the other, I don't know whether I will like it or not...

We'll see how I have coped come November...

Alleluia

Well, I started this as a study blog, so I better update on how my studies went. I passed both units!!!!! Thank goodness. It's re-enrolment day today, and I have to decide which unit(s) to enrol in. Should I attempt 2 units again, or just 1?

I'm sort of leaning towards 2, as the quicker I get the units done, the quicker I'll be finished :) Hopefully work won't be as hectic as it has been for the last few months...

Row Row Row Your Boat

Testing testing 1 2 3...

Apparently it seems my earlier attempts were working all along. It was my stupid laptop that was the problem. How annoying is that? Let me tell you, very annoying!!! Oh well, you live and learn.

And now, the end is near...

So begins "My Way" a song made famous by Frank Sinatra.

And what, pray tell, is nearing an end, I hear you ask. This semester of study is drawing to an end, and quite possibly this blog.

I've never done a blog before. When I set this up, albeit because I had to for the unit I'm studying this semester, I thought it would be fun. And it has been, sort of. I always "meant" to write more on the blog, I just never got around to it ( or a round tuit as my Dad used to say). Whilst I would love to be able to say I will faithfully keep blogging, truth be told, I probably won't.

Originally it started as a study diary, but that didn't prove to be very interesting, so I changed it to a mixed bag of things that I am interested in. There may be the odd post from time to time, you never know. We'll see...

Baby Bobby

I am a first time aunt to Robert Alexander Gordon, otherwise known as Bobby. Bobby was born on 13th December 2008, 12 days late. You can imagine how impatient we all were by the time he arrived.

Bobby is now 6 months old, and is at that adorable gorgeous stage, where he goos and gaaas and makes adorable noises (and some not so adorable noises - if you know what I mean). Last week he gave me my first (second and third) "baby" kisses. You know the sort, where it's more slobber than kiss. But the intent was there. :)

Apparently, Bobby has two teeth through. I haven't actually seen them yet.

I only get to see Bobby once a fortnight, which just isn't enough, as my brother and sister-in-law are in Gouburn. I get back there each fortnight, and make sure I get my "Bobby fix".

I won't bore you with lots of photos of Bobby, but here is my favourite one of him.

Bonus Track

OK, for a bit of fun, I recorded myself singing. Be warned, I can't sing. I thought it would be fun to record and re-record Row Row Row Your Boat as a round. Here it is. Try not to laugh too much.

Georgie Megamix Take 5

It worked :)

To listen, just click on the heading above, you can then either listen to the file directly, or download it to your computer.

I downloaded 2 songs, Georgie Girl and How much is that Doggie in the Window. Using Audacity, I copied the sections of each song that I wanted. I combined these sound btes, and added barking provided by Georgie the Wonder Dog, which I recorded using Audacity, then used the Echo special effect to enhance the barking.

Georgie is very stubborn. The night that I recorded her, whenever I was recording, she would hardly bark, once the recording stopped, she was barking her head off (not literally :).

Anyone, enjoy Georgie Megamix, dedicated to Georgie the wonder dog.

Georgie Megamix Take 4

Let's see how this goes. I have stored my audio file at another site.

And no, it still didn't work. But I know what the problem is, so be prepared for Take 5, which WILL be successful!!! :)

Another Attempt

Well, let's see if this works.
