There were loads of things for the kids to do there. They had a small bouncy castle, face painting (you’ll see in the pics), draws and prizes and several Tombola’s including a couple for adults where you can win booze. I got a bottle of wine. The kids won several little toys and a drink.
After the Fete, we headed to Cambridge to the Town and Country show on Parker’s Piece. We didn’t even know this was on, one of our friends mentioned it to us. There aren’t a load of pics of the various things going on there.. we should have taken more pics of the event. There are a bunch of pics of the kids playing on some of the rides.

Asterisk + Twitter = Call MonitorPosted by: rob in General, PBX, Phones, Technology, twitterWhy? Why not. I was wondering how else I could make use of Twitter for other things I thought “How could I use twitter with my Asterisk PABX?” Doing some Google searching showed I wasn’t the first to think of this (as if that would have happened). There are a few people doing various things with asterisk and twitter. I didn’t really like much of what I found, or found it wasn’t really what I wanted to do with it .. so I decided to use some of that info and came up with something of my own. The short story is this. When someone calls my Canadian number, my US Toll-Free number any number that ultimately rings the group of phones in the house, I will now get a direct message in Twitter from a special account I setup for this purpose, which also sends a SMS to my phone (device notifications in twitter). Read more by clicking below… Be warned! Thar be scripts and technical stuff in them thar parts While looking for some resources on the net to re-learn how to tie knots (and there are no shortage of these BTW), I came across this one. It’s “animated” with a series of still pics, and it’s very well done. There are some sites that show guys tying the knots but in some cases their hands can get in the block the process from being seen. Check it out.. When I went for my walk tonight I took the camera along. The walk was a short one due to the weather turning bad. You can see the route I walked by CLICKING HERE. The pics I took have been uploaded to Flickr - CLICK HERE, go and have a look. I’ve geocoded just about all of the ones I uploaded. If you don’t know what means, simply put each photo has been associated to a point on a map. I’ve also put a some new videos of the kids being kids ..
