Having resisted the pressure from friends I finally caved in and joined Facebook. Yeh, yeh, I'm now a web 2.0 (sic) whore and all that. The good thing is that I've made contact with some long-lost friends from high school and other people who I worked with the aviation industry etc. Whilst this website is good for posting my personal thoughts and happenings, it's rather "isolated" in that I'm the only one here. I'll continue to update this site and it will still be my main outlet but for those less important notes and ramblings, head over to Facebook.

New public GPG key

Just an FYI, but I have uploaded a NEW public key for your GPG/PGP systems. It is available here: http://gray.net.au/~james/james_gray.gpgkey. If you have an old key, it will still work, but will have the wrong identities in it - the new one has all my current ID's.

To Download, simply right-clcik and do whatever your browser needs you to do in order to save a file. Otherwise, you'll simply end up with the whole key in ascii format on your screen.

We're back!

I don't normally broadcast when we're heading away for a week or so (I have to think about the security of my unoccupied house!) so I'm announcing our return from Cairns! We decided that it was a good time to steal a week and see my parents and my brother and his family. Considering my girls hadn't seen their "Pa" since early this year, and Elise had never met him, it was a great trip purely from that perspective. We got up to other things too...

Finally - technology brings us together!

Technology has promised many things over the years, and sadly, very few have actually become a mainstream reality. Sure there's lots of new content being created (webogs or podcasts anyone?) but has any of that really made a personal impact in your life. I'm not referring to how much time you spend blogging, or surfing, or fragging your mates; I'm talking about the sort of moments that you sit back and ponder over, then smile. Tonight was one of those nights.

It's getting warmer - time to venture out again!

Last weekend was great - the weather is warming up (slowly) and the wind stayed away which meant it was a good opportunity to go out with the girls.

After a few days to enjoy having my family home I figured it was time to post a few thoughts on life and how it's changed since Elise arrived.

A Mother's Day to remember

(This is a few days late, but hey, I've got a new born....what day is it anyway?!?)
It was a pleasant surprise to get a call from Natalie on Saturday to say she'd seen the obstetrician and Elise had been reviewed by the paediatrician and the doctors were happy for Nat and Elise to come home on Mother's Day!! That in itself is special, but also having my mum (Emily and Elise's Nanna) there too was just fantastic! There's a few photo's in Elise's gallery starting on page 5. Enjoy :)

She's arrived!!

Please join, Natalie, Emily and I in welcoming our newest arrival! Introducing Elise Kathryn Gray - born at 10:05am on Thursday 11th May, 2006. She weighed in at a healthy 3365g (7lb 4oz) and measuring 50cm (19 3/4 inches). Nat and Elise are doing great! Please cruise over to Elise's gallery to see our little princess.

As I posted in the Site News section, and as can be seen in the "Powered By" section, this site now runs on an Intel CoreDuo Mac Mini. It's fast, it's small, it's quiet....and most of the legacy software I've been used to doesn't run on it!

Arm problems explained...finally!

For those who don't know, last year (early October 2005) I woke up one morning with a practically useless left arm. It was numb in part, ached in others, was weak all over and I had a shooting pain in my shoulders and upper back. I thought I'd just slept in a weird position and it would settle down in a day or two. I was wrong.
