PyToddler - just right

Posted by: david in old-drupal-blog, tech 16 years, 11 months ago

I found PyToddler recently and had James having lots of fun moving crayons round the screen and trying to make a mouse eat some cheese and say "Yum yum yum yum yum" - great watching him say "Go over there mouse!" and trying to encourage him to move the actual mouse (as in the computer-type one, not the rodent-type one). Just the kind of thing I wanted to write... the annoying thing in teaching James letters is that it's easier to learn lower-case letters but computer keyboards are all usually decorated with upper-case ones. Once we get to Japan we'll have plenty else to worry about :-)

James and Charis loved their little Staffy puppy called Mimi. We went for a walk to Disa Kloof and saw some baboons on the way back.

Nursery with animals

Posted by: david in family-news, old-drupal-blog 17 years, 8 months ago

Went to a local nursery today with James where they have pigs, ducks, rabbits, you name it. Some of the ducks are really ugly! It was lots of fun wandering around ... Have uploaded some photos which you can see in the image galleries or by clicking on the 19th of August on the right...

Setting up Drupal

Posted by: david in old-drupal-blog, tech 17 years, 8 months ago

Have been setting up Drupal for this new site (frasergo.org)
Works reasonably nicely, just such a shame it's written in PHP :-)
