I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

The Weekend
Well, it’s that time of the week again! Yep, another “The Weekend” post 🙂 On Friday night, we didn’t do very much at all. On Saturday, we did quite a lot … our furniture from Homebase arrived (yay!). So I spent a couple of hours putting it up. Both items (a bookshelf and a cupboard)…

One thing about Linux I don’t like…
There’s one thing about Linux I don’t like. In Linux, you’ve got two big graphical desktop environments — one is called Gnome, and the other is called KDE (there are others, but those are probably the biggest at the moment). This is all good, because it gives people a greater choice. If you prefer the…

New hi-fi. No new furniture.
I’ve categorised this post as a “the weekend” post, although actually I think you already know most of it 🙂 On Saturday, we had a new hi-fi arrive 🙂 I’d ordered it the previous week in town. It’s comprised of a Marantz amplifier and CD player, and a set of speakers from Monitor Audio. Although…

Busy!
It’s been a fairly busy week for me! Monday night I didn’t do much – Philippa was out for dinner with some of her work colleagues, and I just stayed in. On Tuesday, we went to steak night with the chaplaincy people (Alex, Chris B, Anne-Marie, Alison and Joan). Afterwards we went round to Alex’s…

DJing…
Quick post… I know I’ve been fairly quiet on the DJing front the past couple of months. Well, fear not. The past couple of weeks I’ve bought a bunch of DnB records. The world hasn’t seen the last of DJ Phill S yet… 😉

The Weekend. And AJAX. Again.
Well, firstly, I suppose I’d better tell you lot what I got up to this weekend. Well. On Friday, it was Philippa’s graduation. We both took the day off and met up with Phil’s parents for her graduation. It was a really good ceremony — I think I enjoyed it more than I did my…

It’s hot!!!
It’s hot. It’s incredibly hot. In fact, it’s record breaking hot. Still, I have managed to survive thus far — and I take comfort in the fact that people in other countries manage to survive higher temperatures 🙂 Anyway. I’ve just watched “Family Guy – Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.” I have to say I…

Thank Heaven for Air Conditioning!
Today has been an exceedingly hot day. At least, it has been in our office. For some reason our office is particularly warm, which means that it gets uncomfortably hot in this kind of weather. We seriously need some air conditioning in there… I have a feeling I’m not going to get much work done…

POTC2 and, like, stuff
Well, Pirates on Monday evening was pretty good! It was a very enjoyable film, although it finished rather unexpectedly for me (maybe I should read more reviews before I watch films at the cinema… or maybe not). I couldn’t remember much of the first one, but I found it didn’t really hamper my enjoyment of…

The Weekend
So… what have I been up to this weekend? Well, “not a whole lot” is the answer to that question! We’re still sorting things out with the flat, so that is what we’re spending most of our time on at the moment. We now have a new TV Unit and a new bookcase in the…
