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.

  • Sarah’s Birthday

    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…

  • Why I Blog

    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…

  • Intelligent Design Theory

    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…

  • Of Python and Pete Tong

    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…

  • All there now…

    Well, I think just about every single blog post I’ve ever made is now on here! Yay! There were a couple of issues, in that the imported stuff doesn’t appear to have a category, but apart from that it’s all here. I’ve managed to import all my old blog posts from X-Blog and Blogger, so…

  • First blog post on WordPress!

    Well, this is my first blog post on WordPress! And I have to say, I’m very impressed. It looks really nice and professional… I wish I had time to write stuff like this! As in, write code like this… unfortunately, I seem to spend most of my time cleaning up after other people (at work)…

  • I bought an MP3!

    Well, for the first time ever, I bought an MP3 the other day. It was only £1, I thought “what have you got to lose?” It was a good buy actually, a tune I don’t think you can get on vinyl (the Hybrid remix of REM – The Great Beyond, in case you were wondering).…

  • London, Were-Rabbits, and Pea Soup…

    … in that order: I went down to London on Saturday to meet up with some fellow Essex graduates. Philippa and I travelled down on the train with Simon, Matthew, Sarah and Jon. The first thing we did was go to Hamley’s and have a look round all the toys – that was great fun!…

  • OpenOffice 2.0 initial thoughts

    I have to say, I am liking OpenOffice 2.0. The beta version shipped with Fedora Core 4, and I haven’t really used it much. Anyway, after my mammoth update yesterday it would appear that it’s now out of beta, and onto Release Candidate 2. I decided to do a bit of work on my CV…
