I am stupid: official
There’s a new study out which shows a link between IQ and atheism: the higher the IQ you have, the higher the chance that you are an atheist. The implication a lot of people seem to be drawing from this is that “Religion makes people thick”, or, “only thick people believe in God” (see the

Viva La Vida
My copy of Coldplay’s new album “Viva La Vida” arrived yesterday. I’ve listened to it a couple of times now, and it’s fantastic! I would say this is probably their best album yet. They’ve been a bit more experimental in this one with the way they’ve arranged the music – it feels like a more

Fight Truth Decay: Read the Bible!
Apologies for a very cheesy title to this post, but it’s actually quite an accurate description of the weekend. No, seriously. On Friday morning I left home at the usual time, except this time I wasn’t going to work (in retrospect I kind of wish I was now, but still). Phil dropped me off at

I scream, you scream, we all scream for IMAP
The bulk of my email goes through GMail. I use Mozilla Thunderbird to access my mail from home, and I use the web front-end at work. When I’m using Thunderbird, I access GMail using POP. However, this is not a perfect solution – for example, emails that I’ve sent via the website appear in my

Two Weddings and No Funerals
Such was the weekend for us! On Friday we went up to Cromer for Phil and Esther’s wedding. We travelled up by train, it took about two hours. We got there in plenty of time and had lunch at a little cafe near to the church. The service was at Cromer Parish Church – St

More on Eclipse ADSL and MTU Size

Bank Holiday Weekend the second
The second May bank holiday weekend was as busy as the first one! On Saturday we went to Ian and Lucy’s wedding. The service was held at St Botolph’s Church in Colchester – it made a really nice change to have a wedding within walking distance! Afterwards, the reception was held at Kersey Mill –

It’s Eurovision Time
Well, it’s that time of the year again! Those of you with long memories may remember I posted a rant up about Eurovision last year. So I was thinking about what I didn’t like about Eurovision last year, and after searching around on the internet a bit I found an interesting article on the BBC

Movers and Shakers
I thought I’d probably better get around to posting up what we got up to this weekend before I forget! On Friday night, we went to a music practice at Fordham, and then afterwards stopped in at Tesco to get the week’s shopping. On Saturday, Phil’s parents came up with a few bits of furniture
