Time for the customary ‘The Weekend’ post! Quite an unusual one actually. Friday night, I went home and stayed with my parents overnight. Then I had lunch with them on Saturday, and headed back to Colchester. In the afternoon and evening I didn’t really do much! Just worked on the new look for this site…

*phew*… that was quite a mammoth SQL session! To give you a bit of background info: Blogger didn’t used to let you put titles into your post, unless you paid for the privelige. After I’d been using Blogger for a few months they gave the feature away free, but I never used it because I…

I don’t know why for the past couple of posts I’ve started making my titles groups of three things… strange! Ah well. I went home overnight last night, it was good to see my parents again and be back home. It did make me glad that I’m now a Linux user though – my mum’s…

Hmmm, before I made this post, there were 666 posts in total on this blog! Having said that, apparently the “mark of the beast” is actually meant to be something like 626, they added it up wrong. Or, um, something. I don’t know! Anyway. Yesterday evening was rather annoying – our internet at home was…

I found an interesting article today on the Guardian. It’s about “Lads’ Mags”. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I think (despite this article sounding like a huge rant) I actually agree with it. Are lads’ mags a bit of harmless fun, or do they cause harm which may not be obvious?…

Last night it was Sarah’s birthday, so she had a gathering at the Rover’s Tye. Sarah and Jon, Simon, Luke and Sarah, Michael (a friend of Jon’s from work) and me all met up at around 7 to eat. I had a Chicken Tikka Masala, which was pretty good – it was the first time…

People have often asked me the question “Why do you blog?”. Actually, I think only one person has ever asked me that question, but I bet you it’s on the minds of a lot of people. Well, I received the Dilbert Newsletter yesterday, which contained the best explanation I’ve heard yet of why I do…

I’m not sure what I make about this article. The reason being, I am uncertain about the whole “intelligent design” thing. I think if it is to be taught (and that would be no bad thing, by the way) it should be taught in Religion Education rather than science. It is the goal of science…

Um, well, I’m not really sure that’s an appropriate title, but it is sort of, and it’s alliterative, which is always a plus. What have I been up to this weekend? On Friday, Philippa came round in the evening and we had dinner before going to the “What?” bar for a couple of drinks. I…
