… as Neo says in “The Matrix Reloaded”. I’m afraid the upgrades I’m on about aren’t exactly up to the standard of the agents from The Matrix, but I think they’re pretty good nonetheless: I’ve brought this blog up to date with the latest version of X-Blog. It didn’t take ages, although there were a…

… well, I don’t really have much to say about that one! Other than, “not on my head be it.” At least they’ve got a smaller majority, which means hopefully they’ll be a bit more accountable! President Blair won’t be able to run off and have his own little war if the other parties don’t…

So, it’s election day today… time to come out of the woodwork and vote! I have to say I don’t know who I will be voting for – I haven’t made my mind up yet! But it definitely won’t be labour. I’m actually erring towards the tories because I think they’re the strongest candidate to…

Yes, the news I was talking about. I have a flat! Woo-hoo! I put the admin fee down on it on Saturday, which means it’s off the market. It’s in Colchester, near the town centre. And if you want to come and visit me, please do! Drop me a line and I’ll tell you where…

I would just like to wish everyone a happy bank holiday. I hope that you all enjoy a day off (those of you who have days off, I hope that’s most of you reading this) and do something nice 🙂 I’ve got some news, but I’ll reserve that for later. All for now…

A group of about twelve of us went to see the new “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” film last night. A few of them brought towels… I didn’t. Anyway, the new film was really good! I think even if you don’t know the radio series / books, you should go and see it anyway. It’s…

I’m going to see the new “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” film on Friday! Yay! I’m really looking forward to it – I’m a huge fan of the original radio series and books, and I think this new one has done justice to the original from what I’ve heard 🙂 Also the new Star Wars…

Well, it seems that Witham railway station (on the line between Colchester and Chelmsford I think) is jinxed, or something. Last Friday, I left work a bit early to go down to London. The DJ Source forums (which I frequent) were having an event down there, so I went along with Philippa, Foz, and one…

I was reading an Article on The Register about the torino scale. This is basically a threat level scale for approaching asteroids / meteors / comets etc. They decided that the current wording could unnerve people a bit, so they decided to tone it down a bit… This is the old maximum threat level description:…

And, once again, the customary “the weekend” post 🙂 It was a good one this week. On Friday I went back home after work to have dinner, and then headed off to Wivenhoe to meet people at The Station. I hadn’t been in there before, it was quite a small place but we had a…
