I’ve finally got around to finishing my article on the third commandment! It’s up on FocusOnFaith – you can read it here.

We had quite a nice weekend this week! On Friday evening we went to see “Moths Ate my Doctor Who Scarf” in Chelmsford. It was really good, Tony Hadoke was very funny and did a great job at not isolating anyone who hadn’t watched every episode of Doctor Who about 80 times (not even A-M…

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…

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…

I mentioned lolcode last month. This month, I’ve found something which is possibly even worse. Prepare yourselves for… The Lolcat Bible!

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…

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…

I’ve been having internet connection troubles again recently. I think I might have mentioned this on a previous post. Anyway, as a lot of people seem to be coming to this blog searching for “Eclipse ADSL MTU Size” (and if you’re one of them, hello! – I hope you find this helpful), I thought I’d…

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 –…
