Out with the old, in with the new
The second series of Torchwood finished with a bang (literally) on Friday night. It was pretty standard Torchwood fair – i.e. nothing was explained particularly well – but they did at least do the exit of Tosh and Owen pretty well. I thought Naoko Mori’s performance was fantastic, and Burn Gorman did pretty well too.

Wrong Numbers
I don’t know why, but the past couple of days we’ve had a couple of people leave messages on the phone for people we’ve never heard of. I don’t know whether our number is similar to another one, or whether it’s just a coincidence. We don’t get many of them. I’m never quite sure whether

It’s over!
… our exam, that is. On Saturday morning we had our Moore Course exam on “Old Testament 1”. And it’s all over! High fives all round, I think. It seemed to go quite well – I was expecting the exam to be awful, but in the end it turned out to be moderately OK. I

Microsoft’s OOXML Format
I haven’t really blogged much about this, but Microsoft’s OOXML format is currently on its way to becoming an international standard (i.e., it’s been submitted to the ISO and they have been voting on it recently). For those of you who’ve never heard of OOXML, it’s basically a file format for documents — i.e., when

Ubuntu …
… strangely enough, not the Operating System. I’m talking about Ubuntu Coke! I’m not sure why they decided on the name ‘Ubuntu’, given that there’s already a pretty well-known operating system out there with the same name and a moment’s Googling would have easily found it, but still. It seems like Ubuntu Coke is fairly

Easter Weekend
Apologies for the lateness of this blog post, what with the long weekend I almost forgot to make an update! We’ve been fairly busy as usual this weekend, but it’s been very enjoyable. On Friday we spent most of the day revising: we have an exam on Saturday for our theology course on the pentateuch.

What I don’t like about The Passion
I mentioned in my last post that I quite liked The Passion, despite them putting words in Jesus’ mouth on one or two occasions. Well, having watched the third episode this evening, I still think it’s quite good – but I do wish they would stop messing around with Jesus’ words! It seems quite clear

The Passion
The BBC are screening a new mini-series called “The Passion“. It’s a four parter, covering the last few days of Jesus’ life. The first part aired on Sunday, but we only got round to watching it yesterday. I didn’t know what to expect – secular films about the life and death of Jesus aren’t always

Facebook Photos
One of the annoying things about Facebook is the way it displays photos: at a very low resolution! You can upload photos at full resolution, but with Facebook you can only get a fairly low-res 600×450 (approx) resolution. What I want to know is — why? Why this ridiculous restriction? Every other online photo service

A bit exhausted
Hmmm, I’m a bit exhausted after this weekend! It was pretty busy for most of it – although very enjoyable! On Saturday we spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen as one of Phil’s work colleagues and boyfriend were coming round for dinner, and we were preparing all the food. It was worthwhile
