Why oh why has no-one written a proper library computer system yet? When I say “library computer systems”, I mean the things they install down at the library so that people can access the internet. The current setup on the computer that I’m using (no internet at home at the moment unfortunately – Paul’s taken…

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be away for a few days. I’m actually writing this post from London – I’m staying with Phil and her parents! We’ve got a few wedding things to sort out. I’ll be back home on Thursday… I might not be able to update then, though,…

There seems to have been an explosion in MySpace pages recently. Every man and his dog has got one. In fact, the entire extended family seems to have got one. There’s even a MySpace page for Tom Cruise, Pamela Anderson… in fact, just about any celebrity you can mention. (even Jesus has a page). They’re…

I went round to Matthew‘s last night to do some publicity for the forthcoming mission week at church. We accidentally stumbled across a rather random website. The ‘article’ that we found was called the “Texas-Chile Conspiracy”. Quote: There is a conspiracy going on. Texas and Chile are in it together to take over the world.…

So… what have I been up to this weekend? Well, not a whole lot really. On Friday evening, I didn’t do much. On Saturday, I didn’t do much. Yesterday, I went to Church, then came back for lunch, then went to church again in the evening. Then had dinner with Philippa, and we watched a…

I tried to resist it for a while, thinking that I didn’t need it. But this morning, I came to realise (upon browsing round to about five or six different websites) that I needed a blog ‘aggregator’ or reader. Basically they’re pieces of software (either that you download or look at on a website) which…

I received a copy of Dawkins’ God from Amazon yesterday. I’ve read the first couple of chapters, it seems very good! Basically, it’s a critique of the ideas Richard Dawkins has put forward in his books (including “The Selfish Gene” and “The Blind Watchmaker”) — the idea that because of the work which originated with…

We’ve been having a Discussion on Crossring recently about Dominionism. I don’t want to get into what Dominionism is, but one of the things someone posted today caught my attention. It’s a quote from C.S. Lewis on theocracy: the higher the pretensions of such (uncontrolled) power, the more dangerous I think it both to the…

So… what did I get up to this weekend? Well. On Friday evening, I didn’t do much at all really. Basically just had the evening in! On Saturday afternoon I went into town with Philippa and did a bit of shopping. Then we had dinner together, and went to Asda in the evening (oh the…

Zeth’s been updating his Command Line Warriors blog recently, and made an interesting post a couple of days ago: Would Jesus Run OSX on a white box?. It’s an interesting post, worth a read! Anyway, he made a point which I didn’t really agree with, which I just wanted to respond to, so I’ll quote…
