I have been asked a few times by friends when I was going to post something again, and I must admit I have wanted to for a while but like they say &#8220;<em>there just never seems to be enough hours in a day to do everything&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let me think back quickly about the last 3 years quickly and see what I have done (or what&#8217;s happened) since I last posted, and bring you up to speed.<\/p>\n<p>1. I became a father again, this time to a beautiful little girl<br \/>\n2. I lost my furry daughter of 12 years \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\n3. My son went to big school<br \/>\n4. My wife became more beautiful by the day<br \/>\n5. My hair seemed to have relocated quite a bit from my head to my shoulders and chest \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n6. I bought a house and moved into it<br \/>\n7. I assisted moving 500 people from 2 buildings into 1 new building for my firm.<br \/>\n8. I got my ITIL certificate (at my own cost)<br \/>\n9. I started managing my diabetes a bit better<br \/>\n10. I lost 25kg (and counting) and started walking 2 km in the morning<br \/>\n11. I had tenants from hell in my rental, which I eventually paid to leave<br \/>\n12. I learnt valuable lessons with regards to buying a house (will share)<br \/>\n13. After getting a request to remove links to other sites, that were on this blog, I decided to start posting again, when i have a spare moment.<\/p>\n<p>To you, my loyal reader,&nbsp; I just wanted to say thank you for coming back and checking if there was any new content. I hope that you will enjoy reading the posts that are to come. <\/p>\n<p>Kind Regards<\/p>\n<p>MadMike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dude where the (bleep) have you been? 30 January 2014 Captains Log&#8230; It has been almost 3 years since I have posted to this blog.
