Last night, after meeting our landlord to sort out contracts for next year, Philippa and I went down to Wivenhoe to meet up with Alex and Elisa for a drink at the Rose & Crown (and dinner from the chippie). It was a really nice evening – we hadn’t seen Alex and Elisa for a…

There’s a great post on The Register about spyware — it’s very funny! Check it out… In other news, I’m sorry about not updating very much this week. I haven’t been up to a huge amount really! Yesterday I went to home group in the evening after watching the England game. I have to say,…

Well, how about that — a “The Weekend” post before the weekend is actually over! It’s amazing! So anyway, what have I been up to the past day or two? The answer to that question is, “Not a huge amount really.” On Friday night, guess what? I didn’t do very much! I bet you weren’t…

Just wanted to post up quickly about Monday night’s performance at the Mercury Theatre. Like I said in my previous post, we went to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It was my first live Shakespeare performance, and it was fantastic! The best part of it was the amateur players – their performance at the end…

Another Monday, another “The Weekend” post! What have I been up to this weekend? Well, I’ll tell you. On Friday night, I went round to Philippa’s for dinner. On Saturday, Philippa came round and we basically spent the whole day cleaning the flat (I’d received a letter from my landlord about the cleanliness the week…

I mentioned in my last post that I was going to post up a picture of the book that Max Barry signed for me. Well, here it is! The “who rescued me in a Warwick Avenue Pub” bit was because I was the first one to arrive after Max. When I got in and said…

Hello there! How have you been? Good? Thought so. I’ve been fine, you know… On Friday evening, I came back home for dinner and then headed down to London to stay with Philippa and her parents. I didn’t get down there until quite late, so we didn’t do much. On Saturday, in the morning we…

I always knew it! According to this website: “As of January 14 2005, the IP address of the Python programming language web site is 194.109.137.226. If you add up the 4 octets, you get 666.” Shock! Horror!!! *ahem* I would just like to point out that I do quite like Python although I’ve never really…

I bought a book last week called “Apathy and Other Small Victories” last week, mainly on the strength of reading a very high recommendation on Max Barry’s blog. I’m not quite sure what to make of it! It’s funny, but the humour is quite black. It’s also not a book to read if you’re easily…

Firstly, I’d like to apologise for not posting much last week! I was fairly busy for most of the week, hence me not getting around to writing anything here. Ah well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes! Right, the weekend. On Friday evening, I didn’t do a huge amount. Philippa came round for a…
