Well, I was going to post something up on here a few days ago, but for some reason Blogger seemed to be unaccessible. Ah well. I came down to Colchester on Friday. On Friday night, me and Philippa went round to Claremont Road to have a curry which Alex had very kindly offered to cook…

I forgot, when mentioning all my open source software below, was the excellent jEdit. If you do any kind of text-based coding (i.e. HTML, ASP, Java, C++ etc) then jEdit is your application.
