Welcome to my website

Trying to see the world from a Christian perspective

This Blog

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.

  • Small Ads from the UK

    Just found a great site: horsman.co.nz (‘Humor’ section). Check out particularly Small Ads from the UK and How to Fail an Exam… brilliant!

  • The Weekend

    Ok then, time for the good ol’ “The Weekend” post. On Friday night, I stayed in and worked on a conversion script for Matthew’s Blog. About 11PM, I went to Tesco with Philippa as we felt like going on a late-night shopping trip (like the old student days!). On Saturday, I had quite a lazy…

  • Updated the Open-Source section

    I have updated the Open Source section of the site. Yes, I know, I’m very sad – I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night! Philippa and Luci have gone onto campus for karaoke which isn’t really my kind of thing… everyone else seems to be at the CU house party. So I’m…

  • The Worst Joke Ever?

    I’ve been quite enjoying this random ‘fortune’ program I’ve got on my computer. I’ve installed a ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide’ quotes pack, as well as Futurama and a couple of others. Some of the jokes in there are… well, like this: After Snow White used a couple rolls of film taking pictures of the seven dwarfs, she…

  • Useful Phrases in Esperanto

    I have a program on my machine called “fortune” (if you’re using Fedora Core and want to install it using yum, it’s called ‘fortune-mod’: yum install fortune-mod). Basically it means that every time I type in ‘fortune’ at the command line, it comes up with a ‘fortune’, or a funny quote or something like that.…

  • Keeping Fedora Core up to date

    If you use Fedora Core, or another system that uses “yum” to update packages, you can set it to run automatically every day / week / month (or even hour, if you’re crazy!) fairly easily. This is slightly different to the documentation on the Fedora website, this method is a bit more customisable. Firstly, use…

  • Alex’s Commissioning

    I went to Alex’s commissioning for his position as chaplaincy assistant this evening. It was a good evening, although my voice is now a little hoarse as we sang about eight songs! A good time was had by all. I took some pictures afterwards, and have provided them here for your viewing pleasure (or not,…

  • The Weekend … well, yesterday at least

    I didn’t really do much over the weekend, and I think what I did do I’ve already written about! Anyway. Yesterday I went to Fordham in the morning. Then I went back home for lunch, and then Philippa came round for the afternoon. She had to write some intercessions for this evening (more on that…

  • Photo Album!

    Well, I’ve finally got around to putting a photo album on this site! Let’s see if it works… These photos are from my holiday in August 2005. [Photos now on Flickr]
