Matthew 5:37, King James Version: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. (source).

This weekend was the last weekend of our holiday. It was quite a busy one as well — we had to travel down to Gloucester for Matthew and Ellie’s wedding. [Hence the title… apologies to Grieg’s “Hochzeitstag auf Troldhaugen”] We set off after lunch on Friday, and made good time – we didn’t really hit…

So, as some of you may know, we went out to visit some friends in Leipzig, Germany this week. We flew out last Thursday, and came back yesterday (Tuesday). I have to say, Ryanair isn’t the most comfortable airline to travel on – but the price was right, so can’t really complain! On Friday, we…

This is just a quick post to let you know that we are off on holiday this week and next week, so don’t expect any updates! Normal service will resume soon enough…

You know, I completely forgot to mention this the other week, but I think it’s probably worth mentioning. When we moved, we used One Man and a Van as we didn’t want all the hassle of moving stuff ourselves (it’s a very tough job!). Anyway, in a nutshell they were absolutely excellent – very cheerful,…

Apologies for the lateness of this post, and the techy ones before it… I thought I should probably post a quick summary of the weekend! On Friday night we went to see “The Simpsons Movie”. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, as short TV shows don’t always translate well to the big screen. But…

Apologies for making two techy posts in one day, but I’ve just come across a problem which I think it might be good to post up in case it helps anyone else. As I mentioned in the last post, I’ve been using MySQL-Python to connect to MySQL using … you guessed it, Python! Anyway. Long…

It seems that the past couple of days I’ve had to spend a fair bit of time working with programming languages beginning with the letter ‘p’: At work last week, I wrote my first ever perl script. Our client had asked for a script which parsed a CSV file and inserted the data into a…

I’m just reading through “The Twilight of Atheism” by Alister McGrath. It’s a very good book – I’m only 3/4 of the way through it, but I would definitely recommend it! One thing which he said that I found very interesting is that protestantism indirectly created circumstances in which atheism was able to thrive. I…

I’d just like to apologise in advance to anyone who has already heard this story… I’m afraid I did rant in person to a few people! But I thought it was probably worth posting up here as well. You know, just in case anyone hadn’t heard it. Because it’s worth hearing. Yeah. So. I mentioned…
