So… what went on at the weekend, then? Well. On Friday night… we didn’t do very much. No surprises there! On Saturday, we went into town in the morning, and then in the afternoon Phil went to Fordham to play her Clarinet for Tim & Katie’s wedding, and I went into town to do a…

Just a quick update — Simon has for a long time had his website under protection of a username and password. This basically means that although his website does publish an RSS feed, many RSS readers can’t use it. I have found a way round this, however, a solution which will work on *any* RSS…

Christmas music is torture. Well, not really, but according to an article on The Register, there are similarities: “If people don’t want it and if they have a negative response to it and if they’re exposed to something continually, the same songs over and over, it’s no different to being tortured, it’s the same reaction,…

I was watching the news tonight, and the top story is that five prostitutes have been killed, and found in various locations around Ipswich (including Hintlesham, which I used to drive to on the way to work – scary stuff!) I don’t really want to comment on the tragedy as such, but one of the…

Firstly, I would like to apologise for the rather uninteresting nature of this blog of late. In fact, not just of late – in general. Particularly boring of late, maybe I should say. Anyway. There’s not much I can do about this, short of becoming James Bond (and the last time I did that I…

Ok. Step one: read my previous rants on Torchwood. Step two: watch the current Torchwood (about the guy who died but is now a ghost). Step three: fill in the following for yourself: (insert stupid things about the episode here) Seriously though, these guys are just making it too easy! This episode actually self-destructed. It…

Apologies for this blog seeming to become the “rant about Torchwood” blog… but it just provides so much food for thought and / or criticism! This week’s episode (‘They Keep Killing Suzie’) was quite a good one, I thought. Having said that, there were one or two things which the entire episode hinged around which…

So… what did we get up to this weekend? Well. On Friday evening we didn’t do very much, we went to bed fairly early because we had to be up rather early on Saturday morning! We got up at about 5AM on Saturday to be at Colchester Station at 6.24. We were going on a…

Apologies for referring to the Jackson 5 in the title (if you didn’t know what it was, which would be perfectly excusable). But I wanted to mention a new PHP Framework I’ve found, called Code Igniter. I’ve been casually developing a sort of gallery system recently — in a similar vein to Matthew’s — and…

So! We come to another “The Weekend” type post. Well. On Friday, um, uh…. my memory doesn’t extend that far back. On Saturday, we went into town for a bit. And then we came back home. In the evening, we went to ASK for dinner, which was very nice! I can particularly recommend the honeycomb…
