Last house on the Left
Last weekend Claire and I decided to drive by the rental house we were living in before we went away on holidays. The landlords didn’t renew our lease on the basis that they were moving into the house themselves; but we had a sneaking suspicion that they just didn’t like toddlers, and Amelia is approaching toddling age. So when we went to check out the old house we were really expecting to see signs that it had been rented out to someone else. Coming around the corner we saw a giant earth dozer, three big dump trucks, and no house! There was only a half a wall still intact, and the trees and garden had been uprooted. All Claire and I could muster in response was a tandam ‘Oh My God!’ as we kept driving down the street.
Maybe it’s obvious by now, but this is where I’ll be blogging for the foreseeable future. I considered importing all my old MT entries from rubhub.com, but I decided that it would be nice to have a fresh start. Here it is.

Wow. A personal site under a subdomain.
How very…. 2001.
Erm… anyway. Good to have you back! When’s Creosote 1.0?
Creosote 1.0 will be released in November, but it’s now an embeded C# app running in a sandwich maker.
I could go on at length about the benefits of Typepad, but instead of being a sycophant, I’ll just say that you’re a bastard and you’ve been struck off the beta testers list for the Creosote Sandwich Master 2000.
hello mcclusk – what did you do to the house they would lead to its destruction?
It’s the baby Dave; they destroy everything. We left her alone with a sledgehammer for a half an hour and when we got back the house had to be declared structurally unsound.
