Holy crap batman! It has been a long time since I last posted, having promised myself I would post Nearly Every Day. Idiot.

I have been looking at the sad little list of blog ideas from months back and they are now incomprehensible (third generational skid marks?), irrelevant (the demise of Runescape - 14 year old brother fell into deep angst), or not interesting (TomKat zzzzzzz).

But wait! There be one topic I can really talk about, but eeek! It is home renovation! Three little words peeked out at me - 'closed in deck' - and the idea came flooding back (actually, not enough to be a flood, more of a trickle.) It goes something like this:

"Modern suburban life - why the planet will be a ball of dust in 50 years"

-Home owner thinks, "wouldn't an outdoor living area be nice" and builds a deck, preferably with good orientation to the sun, and perhaps even cuts down some trees to let in more light
- The sun beats hard through the gap left by the trees. The home owner thinks, "Hmmm that thar sun is too darn hot", and introduces artifical shade
- Home owner decides the deck is too cold in the evening and commits carbon crime by getting an outdoor gas heater or fire that attempts to heat the great outdoors
- Home owner thinks, "stuff this, if I enclosed the whole thing, we would keep warm, the mozzies wouldn't get me and I would have another room on the house", and turns the deck into a conservatory
- Home owner decides the conservatory is too hot and installs blinds to shut out the light.
- Home owner thinks, "wouldn't an outdoor living area be be nice"

Fooking 'ell
