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…

On Friday evening, Philippa and I were babysitting for some friends of ours from home group. It was quite…

We had our home group last night, which I was leading. We were looking at the question “Has science disproved God?”. We did have quite an interesting discussion, and I think quite a useful one! I think it is quite worrying that a lot of people seem to believe science and faith are in conflict…

Just seen a great quote. Do you have trouble with stress? Do you worry about things overly? Read on… Stress has been pinpointed as a major cause of illness. To avoid overload and burnout, keep stress out of your life. Give it to others instead. Learn the “Gaslight” treatment, the “Are you talking to me?”…

Ah, just noticed, Fedora Core 5 has been released. According to the release notes, there have been a few changes since Fedora Core 4. Looks pretty cool, although I’m not going to be rushing to upgrade anytime soon! (it always take a few months for third party packages to catch up with a new release…

I realised the other day that I’ve managed to book myself out every evening this week. Here’s a summary of my evenings: Monday – go round to Matthew’s to do a poster for the mission week coming up at Fordham. Tuesday – go round to Philippa’s for dinner, prepare for this evening Wednesday – do…
