Firstly, I’d like to apologise for not updating very much recently… there hasn’t been very much to write about! This weekend has been fairly busy though, so I’ll try to recap. On Friday evening, a few people (Dan, Alison, and Alex) came round to have a curry and watch “Garden State”. The film was really…

Sorry for a rather late update this week! There’s no particular reason – it’s not been all that busy… I just haven’t got round to posting here! Ah well. Anyway, here’s a quick summary of the weekend: on Friday evening, Philippa went to stay with her parents for the weekend. This left me on my…

This weekend turned out to be rather busy! On Friday evening, we had our ‘Clerks’ night. That was good fun, the Clerks films are great (if not for the faint hearted!). On Saturday, we did a bit of shopping in the morning, and in the evening went round to Wivenhoe to see the Eurovision with…

We watched Eurovision on Saturday night. It was quite good fun… I’m not sure I’d like to do it more than once a year, though! However, just to be controversial I thought I’d post up a rant about it… What is the point of Eurovision? As far as I can tell, it exists for the…

Not much to say really, I just thought I haven’t updated that much recently so I’ll just post up a quick one to let you know what’s going on (or not!). I’ve updated the links section with a few additional links. If you don’t know it already, check out XKCD (under the ‘others’ section), it’s…

I thought I’d probably better post up to say what I’ve been up to this bank holiday weekend, before I forget! It’s always a bit of a struggle towards the end of a long weekend because it’s three days I have to remember, as opposed to just two… still. On Friday night, we didn’t do…

Hello there! This is just a quick update to say that the new job is going well… I’ve survived so far! And am also enjoying it (which is always a good thing). It’s been a fairly slow start, but I’m gradually getting into the swing of things. Not work related, but on Saturday we’re going…

This is strange. I finished my old job on Friday: it feels odd to think that I will never have to go back there again, that from now on every morning I’ll be going somewhere different! I think it’s partially the fact that my previous job was the first proper job that I had out…

Ok, this is another techy post, for which I apologise. I thought I should probably mention it, though, because if I mention it now I’ve got no excuse for not remembering it… At work, we migrated our source control to Subversion last October. When the repository was created, it was a Berkeley-DB based repository. The…

I’ve just found a rather nifty plugin for WordPress. It basically inserts an “on this day…” item at the bottom of my posts (on each post page, not on the main page – if you’re looking at the main page, you’ll need to click on the title of the post before you can see it).…
