Hi all!  I had a very productive day yesterday, and worked on a lot of code for this site.  I was going to hire a designer to do it, but then once I started I figured I might as well keep on going until it was finished!  If you’re reading this on a reader/email, you can click through to see the full site: mslogica.com.

I am going to update the header in future, but it’s ok for a temporary header.  I’m going to find a designer to do that bit!

I will probably be tweaking things over the next few days, but please let me know if you find any dead links or bits that you think need changing!

Thank you for all being so lovely and encouraging me to stay after the mean hacker!  I have a giveaway coming up next week to say thank you

Hi all.  Over the weekend, Planet Millie was hacked. It makes me feel both sad and angry that people waste their time trying to destroy what other people do. I pulled the website off the web over the weekend, and then left it off because I wasn’t sure how I felt about coming back to it. I left it a couple of days whilst I decided what to do, and I have decided to bring it back online. I can’t imagine not blogging, and whilst someone’s ruined the experience on this occasion, I shall use it as an opportunity to tweak the blog.

If you’re reading this through the main site, you’ll see that here have been some major changes since you last visited. My layout files were edited by our friendly neighbourhood hacker, and I’ve not been able to fix them. As such, the site is currently running on a temporary layout, until I can get a new one up and running.

I guess this post is really to let you know that I am back, that I know the website looks weird, but that I’m working on it, and in the mean time I will continue to update. Planet Millie 3.0 is on its way!

It’s Earth Hour today, so don’t forget to turn your lights off for an hour at 8.30pm tonight!  You can find out more about Earth Hour and sign up on the WWF website.

At the moment, it feels like the weather is a never-ending mix of snow and rain, with the occasional flash of sunshine to give us hope! I am so ready for spring!

On Thursday, I wore a short sleeve top for the first time this year (it was still a jumper though, I’m not that crazy!). It felt nice to not have lots of layers on! I was horrified by how white my arms are though, even though it’s natural after a winter under fabrics! As I was gardening (for 15 mins, before it started raining), I swear I was actually glittery like a well-known vampire!

I’m always in two minds about fake tan. I like looking brown, but the idea of painting yourself a colour is ridiculous. Ideally, I’d just go brown from working outdoors. This will eventually happen, but it takes months in this country! Anyway, I did fake tan my arms in the end. Hopefully I will no longer glow in the dark!

In other news, my neighbour started breeding rabbits a few months ago (this is against the house deeds, but that’s a whole other story!). I’ve popped round a couple of times to meet the new babies, which are very cute, and we often chat about how funny it is that Archie is afraid of them. Even when my neighbour started, she had just three babies in a cage, and Archie was terrified of them. She could probably have swallowed one without chewing, and yet she wouldn’t go near them!

When I popped round on Thursday to say hi to the latest babies, I learned that one adult rabbit had been left to roam in the garden by itself (it’s quite tame) and Archie had tried to kill it. So the rabbit is back in a cage now, safe from Archie’s teeth. Luckily my neighbour has a sense of humour, and I’m quite impressed that Archie’s cat instincts are finally kicking in! She has been a wimp since she was a kitten, but the rabbit in question is at least her size! Of course, in reality she hasn’t got a chance in hell of taking that rabbit down – it could probably kill her with one kick, but I’m sort of pleased that she had a go. She’s finally learning to use her kitty instincts!
