I just want to say – apologies for the lack of updates over Christmas! I’ve been rather busy the past few days, as you can probably tell. Here’s a quick overview: on Saturday afternoon, I travelled back to Ipswich to my parents’ house. My sister arrived that evening, as well as one of our “longest…

I did a DnB mix for a bit of a laugh today – I don’t usually mix DnB, but I thought I’d do a mix just so that people who are into it could have a bit of a laugh at my mixing! So here it is… enjoy! TRACKLIST 01. Basement Jaxx – Good Luck…

I went to see King Kong last night. It wasn’t bad, but … well, I just had the feeling that they could have effectively reduced the length by about a half without missing much. Not that the thing was slow-moving, just that some of the scenes were drawn out a lot. Ok, so the special…

It was the office Christmas party last night! It came in the form of a meal down at the Peacock Inn in Chelsworth (a fairly remote location about ten minutes drive away from where we work). Philippa and I went together. It was good to have a meal with everybody – and it was a…

Well, yesterday was the winter equinox — the shortest day of the year! It’s all upwards for the next six months: it should gradually start getting lighter and lighter! Although we still have to put up with January and February (February in particular being one of the most depressing months of the year), at least…

Last night I went out for dinner with a whole bunch of people. Philippa’s sister Roz is staying for a couple of days, and Phil wanted her to meet some of our friends so invited a few people out for dinner. We all went down to the Playhouse (steak night!). Anne-Marie, Phil, Roz and I…

Ok, so, what did I get up to this weekend? In brief: on Friday evening, I went to see “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” at the cinema with Sarah & Jon and Philippa. On Saturday, in the morning I went into town to get my hair cut, and then in the afternoon lazed…

I read an interesting article the other day when I was browsing around the homepage of Fetchmail, and came across the essays section of the site. It’s about open-source software and security, using the computer game Quake as an example. It’s a very interesting read, if you’re into that kind of thing. Here’s a quote:…

Well, the internet went back to normal speed about an hour after I wrote that last post. I still don’t know why it didn’t work, but at least it seems to be working OK now (although when I get back home, I’ll probably find that it’s broken again). Just noticed something random… it appears that…

Ok, I am not happy with the internet at the moment. Not the internet in general, just the internet at home. I am currently downloading something at the whopping great speed of 2.79K/s. This is on 2Mb (megabit, not megabyte, in case you were wondering) broadband. Add onto that the fact that the internet was…
