  • 90s Night

    For some bizarre reason I was thinking about the CU 90s Night today. It just occured to me that if the CU – or anyone else – were ever to do another 90s night, this would make the absolutely perfect poster: (Apologies to anyone who’s seen the XKCD comics, which I admit is most of

  • Religious Surveys

    Sam Harris is requesting people complete surveys on his website. You are requested to complete a survey (there’s more than one of them) if you are either (a) an atheist, (b) a dedicated Christian. The reason I’m posting this here is because I think with a lot of these surveys, the only people who bother

  • Strange

    I’m not sure whether this is funny or disturbing: LOLCODE. (Note: website may not make sense to those who are not familiar with lolcats. No, I’m not going to link to anything… GIYF.)

  • Quiet Weekend (for a change)

    This weekend turned out to be fairly quiet, for a change! On Friday evening we helped out at ’21’, which went well. On Saturday we went out to a BBQ at Roy and Janette’s (friends from home group). Afterwards we headed over to Wivenhoe to watch the new Doctor Who (“The Doctor’s Daughter”). It was

  • One Week. Three BBQs.

    By the end of this week, I will have been to three Barbecues: one on Bank Holiday Monday, one at work today, and one tomorrow at some friends from church. It seems like summer has arrived – or at least, the “pre-summer” we have which tends to be better than the actual summer. Still, I’m

  • Bank Holiday

    I always struggle a little when writing a “The Weekend” post after a bank holiday weekend: three whole days to talk about? I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning! (Kelloggs Fruit & Nut by the way. Just so you know). But I’ll give it a go. On Friday evening, Rich and

  • DJ Stuff

    Just a bit of site news: I have removed the “DJ Stuff” section of this website, because it was basically useless and hadn’t been updated in ages. I don’t really do DJing any more, so it was a bit useless to have the section up on the website. In other news, I’ve been having a

  • Ubuntu 8.04 – Hardy Heron

    Well, Ubuntu 8.04 has been released, and I’ve just upgraded to it! There was one “gotcha” during the installation, which hopefully will help people if I blog about it: Once I’d completed the upgrade (which I did via the usual update manager), the machine rebooted and came up with the login screen. I logged in

  • Am I Normal?

    No, not me — I know I’m not normal! I’m talking about the program “Am I Normal” which aired on BBC2 last night. I managed to catch about the last two thirds of it. This is a brief synopsis of the programme: Dr Tanya Byron explores what some consider the fine line between religious devotion

  • Less Weddingy Weekend

    Well, it was a less “Weddingy” weekend this time round! On Friday night we helped out at ’21’, a youth group at Fordham for those in school years 7-8 (or something like that). It went pretty well, although I was a little apprehensive because I haven’t done any youth work before at all. We’ll be
