On Tuesday, I ordered two Pioneer CDJ-200 DJ decks. I decided that, as I’d been invited to DJ at a few weddings recently, having my own pair of CD decks would be very useful. (At some point I will need to get a PA rig as well). Anyway, they arrived yesterday, so I gave them

You just can’t believe some people. A couple “The Borings” (yes, that is their surname, rather unfortunately) are trying to sue Google for invading their privacy. They claim that Google Street View drove up their private drive and took pictures – which is an invasion of privacy. This is slightly old news (they had their

Last week turned out to be pretty busy! I had a pop quiz at work on Monday night, we were out at Anne-Marie’s for pancakes on Tuesday night, we had Moore Course on Wednesday night, and then I was leading home group on Thursday night. So by the time Friday came round we were just

I’ve just found the IT4Communities website. I think it’s an absolutely fantastic idea: charities can visit the site and submit IT jobs that they need doing. Volunteers who are skilled in IT can browse the site and can, if they feel they can help out with a project, get in touch with the charity. I

Well, it’s finally here: today is when we are going to see Keane live at the O2! I can’t wait, it’s going to be amazing. The other two live acts on tonight are Katzenjammer and Frankmusik. I hadn’t heard of either of them before, but apparently Katzenjammer are a sort of comedy piano duo and

So, in the past couple of months lots of people seem to have got into Twitter. Specifically, Simon and Alex. People who advocate Twitter seem to think that you can’t criticise it unless you’ve actually used it. I could never see the point of it, but today I decided that if I was going to

This weekend has been a good one! On Saturday afternoon Foz came up from London. We went round to see Bob and Ruth, who Foz knew from his student days and who now go to Fordham. Afterwards we headed round to Steve & Karen’s for a gathering of people and spent most of the evening
