Trying to see the world from a Christian perspective

This Blog

I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

  • 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

    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…

  • 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…

  • 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.)
