Kits and Mortar Tumblr Strange Attractor Del.icio.us links TwitterSo, how did you spend yours? How are you spending yours? An extra day in the year, and a Sunday too. A beautiful day, weatherwise, here. Sunny. Blue skies. A little cloud but not til the afternoon.
An extra day.
A gift.
A treat.
A day to be spent doing things you wouldn't perhaps otherwise have […]
GapingVoid. Go. Now. Or else.
Ok, so I know you’ve all seen snow before. Well, I presume you’ve all seen snow before. Certainly there are enough pictures of snow on tv and the internet that even if you haven't seen snow in the flesh before, you can't possibly be unaware of the nature of snow. So these pictures aren’t going […]
From a conversation on #joiito, it seems that yes, Orkut* really does mean ‘orgasms’ in Finnish, but better still, ‘join Orkut’ actually means ‘Joi’s orgasms’.
I’d been wondering what the screaming was every time I opened my emails…
*Orkut-the-site is named after Orkut-the-guy, who developed it.

Listening to all my Blur albums tonight. Hearing things in the songs now that I don't remember noticing before, remembering things I thought I'd forgotten, feeling feelings I haven't felt for years.
Makes me want to get my bass guitar out again, to feel the surge of bass run through me like electricity, making all […]
It's official - I'm going to BlogTalk 2.0 in Vienna in July. Registered just now, and am already planning the trip.
Some of the other bloggers I know may going: Gary Turner's thinking about it, Horst Prillinger's submitting a paper, as is Maciej Cegłowski. Couple of other #joiitoers may also be there, so already it's […]
It works! It works! It works!!!
I am so going to be ircing from my bed tonight. Yeah baby!
Ok, so it took us all day to realise that we had a dns address wrong, but still, it only took us about six hours to get it all up and running which I consider to be a […]
Just sitting here, in the lounge, making the most of our new wifi network*, with XFM playing for the first time since I left Reading. Bliss!
For years I was used to having XFM, an indie radio station with exceptionally good taste, on in the background all day whilst I worked. I was surprised how […]
Wow! Snow twice in one year! And both on a Thursday evening! Nature surely is conspiring.
Honestly, though, it's beautiful. The snow is falling gently but steadily, and we have about four inches settled on the ground now. It's so unusual to get snow here, it just doesn't happen very often so it's a big […]
Finally we've got round to this whole idea of a domestic wifi network, prompted by the myth that broadband is available at this postcode. Personally, I'll believe that broadband is available at this postcode when it's actually installed and running, but til then I remain sceptical.
The little wifi widgets came this morning, theoretically allowing […]
Played Reinhold and Yeti? Try PinguXtreme. Those land mines, they really help the scores.
Update: Working again!
If you can just slip behind a molecule… There it is. Just as Douglas Adams described it. St Pancras. The huge locomotive shed, fronted by The Midland Grand Hotel, empty now for years, sadly deserted and abandoned.
The first time I ever went to St Pancras I thought it was spelt St Pancreas and couldn't understand […]
I was talking to GT last night about going to the BlogTalk 2.0 conference in Vienna in July. It's affordable in terms of registration, and it would be deeply cool to go and network with interesting blogger people. Somewhere in the back of my head, a small voice is screaming that I might not actually […]
