Emily's 6-week checkup.
Emily has been to the paediatrician for her 6 week checkup and everything is fine :) She has put on weight, grown a bit longer and put on a 10/10 cute display. You go girl!!

Anyone who uses my mail server will know this has been a bad week. Monday the ISP had a bad day - which meant I did too. Anyone who visited my site on Wednesday (today) before about 3pm (Aust EST) probably saw the message saying the database server went bang. Everything is back to normal now...but it's been a busy week.
Seeing as Emily's album was ballooning out beyond 80 photo's I decided it was time to reorganise it a bit. There is now a birth and hospital set of about 35 photo's, then a second set for her first three months. Just follow the link in the first sentence and you'll see what I mean.
Just to let everyone know that due to James' very hard work, new photos have been added to the gallery specifically photos of our family- Dave, Kate, Angus and Samuel Gray. 
It's happened! We're FINALLY parents!! Natalie delivered our first child at 2:15pm on Thursday 22nd July 2004; a girl :) She weighed in at 3050g (6lb, 11.5oz) and is 49cm (19in) long. Her name is Emily Bronwen
Well it had to happen eventually, but I'm still annoyed! Seems some low-life spam/porn a*%$ holes have been filling up my comments system with links to their filth. This in turn get's indexed by search engines and raises their filth's rankings in the search engine (not to mention, makes my site look like a filth-peddling scum pit too).So, I have no option but to delete the filth (there was LOTS of it) and switch to a more secured site. Basically, if you want to leave a comment on this site, you need to create an account and log in. Same goes for submitting links or stories. HOWEVER, despite the fact the photo albums "appear" to be part of the site, it actually is a bit of a kludge and only partially uses the main site's security system. So unfortunately, the comments in the photo albums are disabled completely - regardless of you being logged in or not. (sorry). You can still view everything in gallery though, just can't leave comments.
I am sorry for this, but there's no way around it other than to lock this site down a bit more. Don't blame me, blame the spam/porn peddling low-life scum that used my site as their little graffiti board!!
I've added a new gallery with a few photo's from the 2004 Blade Blast at Eastern Creek raceway. If you're not into bikes these photo's probably wont interest you...but here's the direct link to the photo's anyway. Enjoy!
Well after a rather stressful 24 hours, the new ISP is installed, my network re-engineered (properly this time) and the routing glitches fixed, IT'S WORKING AGAIN!! The domain delegation is still a bit screwy; I've lost my login details to redlegate it...and it's a long weekend! So some people may have trouble reaching this site for a few more days yet.UPDATE: 1:16pm Sun 13th June 2004
Found my login details and redelegated the domains! Now we just have to wait for a day or 2 for the changes to propogate through the Internet. But other than that, it's all done!
This is a heads-up for everyone who uses my mail server. Over the long weekend my entire network is going to be offline for a while. I am transferring to a new ISP. Read on for the details.
Seems a number of my friends' and relatives' computers are dangerously unpatched and unprotected. The general comment has been along the lines of "what's the big deal if I get a virus?". Well here's the explanation why I think it's a big deal and how you can protect yourself and the Internet too :)
