The past couple of evenings have been pretty good. Tuesday evening we had our Christianity Explored course. Philippa and I (well, it as mainly Phil actually) made a Haddock dish with a sort of pesto and yoghurt sauce. The haddock had to be skinned beforehand (according to the recipe), and we didn’t know how to…

So… what have I been up to this weekend then? The short answer to that question is, “not a lot”. On Friday night I went round to Matthew’s to sort out some publicity for Fordham. We managed to get a couple of flyers done, so it was quite a productive time 🙂 That was the…

If you are thinking about a document / content management system, and you’re an enterprise, don’t use Microsoft SharePoint. It sucks. It really sucks. Here endeth the lesson.

So… what did I get up to this Easter weekend? I have a whole four days to catch up on here! You know a little of what I did, but let’s see if I can remember the rest. I stayed with my parents for the weekend, so I went back to Ipswich on Friday afternoon.…

I found a great list today of things (not) to do if you become an Evil Overlord. Here’s the intro: Being an Evil Overlord seems to be a good career choice. It pays well, there are all sorts of perks and you can set your own hours. However every Evil Overlord I’ve read about in…

Yes, that’s right. I have succumbed to the temptation – I’m now the proud owner of a shiny new 30Gb iPod. But before you accuse me of selling my soul to The Man, let me explain to you my reasoning… I wanted to get an MP3 player. Specifically, I wanted to get an MP3 player…

Yes, you read that right. You can download AVG Anti-Virus for Linux. Free. That’s all well and good, but — what would be the purpose of it? There aren’t any viruses for linux (well, very few at least)! I suppose it might prevent you from spreading viruses through email if you’d downloaded a dodgy attachment,…

Well, it’s been quite a busy weekend, this one! Friday evening, Philippa and I went to see the Nayland Village Players perform “An Inspector Calls”. I really enjoyed it – the play was very clever, and there was a lot of food for thought there about human nature and how what we do can affect…

Apologies for the rather ‘provocative’ title, but I’m just copying the title of a lecture to be given at the Royal Society tomorrow. It will be given at the Royal Society’s London headquarters, but (assuming you can’t make that) it will be webcast live. It should be an interesting one to watch – I’m hoping…

I’m getting really annoyed by the amount of comments spam that I’m getting. I usually have about one spambot on here a day, trying to post up adverts to sites for pharmaceuticals etc. I don’t know what kind of return they’re getting on spam, but it can’t be much – do people really buy stuff…
