I work in the country, in that – the place I work is right out in the sticks. Most of the roads on the way there are main roads, but there is one small but not insignificant stretch of road which is a “proper” country road: there are a few points along the road where…

Well well well, three holes in the ground… there’s a new version of the excellent Firefox Browser out (version 1.5). It looks like it’s got some nice new features, seems a bit smoother. It’s obvious they put a lot of thought into the design – when I updated, it picked up that one extension I…

Sometimes I wonder why I read the Bible. Now, don’t get me wrong, I definitely thing it’s a Good ThingTM to do, but… well, sometimes it’s a bit heavy going. I feel I’m doing it more out of routine than anything else. But then, I come across something that restores my confidence – and more!…

So, what did I get up to this weekend? On Friday evening, I went into Wivenhoe with Alex for a drink at the Black Buoy. It was quite nice actually – the pub was nice and warm, good to go into on a cold evening! Good to catch up with Alex as well, as I…

I’ve done a new mix 🙂 Starts off with some funkier breaks and gets into some more upbeat / nu-skool stuff at the end. The name, incidentally, is an in-joke from the DJ Source forums! TRACKLIST 01. Sprocket – Kickflip 02. Aquasky & Meat Katie – Overneath 03. Pablo Beatz – Hot 04. Transformer Man…

As one of my co-workers remarked yesterday, and as Matthew blogged, “Snow is in the air”. It’s cold. The sky is grey. You can just tell it’s going to snow, sometime…. probably. This is not good news. I don’t mind snow — when you don’t have to be out in it! People who like snow…

Ok, here’s what I’ve been up to this weekend. On Friday evening, Philippa came round for dinner and then we went back to Ipswich to see my parents. We stayed overnight, and came back again on Saturday afternoon. That evening we didn’t do much, just had a relaxing evening in! I think I needed it…

Just read a brilliant post on Scott Adams’ blog. Here’s a quote: It occurred to me recently after having surgery for my deviated septum that lots of Al Qaeda members must need that same procedure. When Amnesty International finds out that we gave free medical care to prisoners, that won’t sound so bad. And yet…

I’ve just found another blog about Linux and OSS. It’s more generic than the other Linux blog I link to (that one is more about Linux system administration); this one is more about what’s going on in the Linux world. It did have a cool link to a Wiki Guide to Linux Games, which I…

Just thought I’d better write a quick post to let you know what I’ve been up to this week, as I haven’t written one so far… Monday night, I didn’t do much. Tuesday night I went round to Philippa’s for dinner. Last night I didn’t do very much. Tonight I’m going out to my weekly…
