Sorry about the lack of updates recently, it’s been a bit busy! This weekend was no exception. On Friday we had the 21 Christmas Party, which went well. Then on Saturday Phil was playing at a wedding at midday, so I met up with Chris I and his friend Eleanor in town for lunch, and…

Two things which made me think “EPIC WIN” (It’s kind of the opposite of “EPIC FAIL”, not sure whether it’s valid but still). Firstly, Video Game Music Themes (sheet music). Check out the Mario themes – I’ve been playing the overworld theme from Mario 1 on the NES! I remember that from years ago, it’s…

So, this is just a quick precis of the weekend: – 21 on Friday night, followed by “The IT Crowd” (again, very good this week) – Down to Phil’s parents on Saturday, had good time – Back to Fordham on Sunday morning for the Advent service – Rest of the day spent not doing very…

Murphy’s Law is basically “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”. Or, more generally, it’s all about irony. For example, if you haven’t prepared for some eventuality, it will happen. (Well, I suppose that’s more being unlucky than ironic, but still). I had a great example of it recently. T-Mobile had been making things…

This weekend, Philippa was away from Friday night until Saturday evening. So, on Friday evening I watched “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, which I’ve been meaning to watch for ages but haven’t got around to it. It was a great film – I can see why it got about five oscars in one year!…

Since July of this year I’ve been working with Matthew on a little project. Well, it’s finally ready to go live, and I am proud to unveil it today: Gift List Central (GLC for short) is officially open! There may still be a few issues to iron out, but the functionality is pretty much there…

Bring it on: we’ve just booked tickets to go and see Coldplay in September next year at Wembley. Sweeeeet. This means that in 2009 we will be seeing two of our favourite bands – Keane and Coldplay … if we could get to a Muse gig as well that would make it a hat trick!…

I was browsing through the list of Facebook applications written in Java the other day, and happened to stumble across Bloom: “The best Facebook photo uploader!” I was a tad surprised, because it appeared to be (a) open-source (it had a link to the source code in one column) and (b) there already is a…

A few various reviews and news bits… On Monday, Coldplay’s new EP “Prospekt’s March” was released. I didn’t buy the CD – I just downloaded it from 7Digital.com (£3.99 – bargain!). As I understand it, the EP is basically just songs which didn’t make it onto the album (Viva la Vida) but which are still…

Well, last weekend was pretty busy once again! (It must be that time of year again, you know, the time of year that we’re really busy. That’s about three quarters of the year!) Anyway. On Friday evening we went to 21. I did the talk on “The Church” which seemed to go pretty well. On…
