Traces of Guilt

February 23, 2004

A great review on The Register of fellow Zoetroper Neil Barrett's book, Traces of Guilt. Looks like a good read, if computer forensics interests you, and now it's on my wishlist. Which is obviously not a hint. Honest.

Timesinks

February 22, 2004

Half the time I don't remember what I've said to whom, what I've blogged, and what is still festering in its own juices in my head. Right now, I'm suffering from the instant gratification of IRC, not really blogging properly, not replying to emails properly. Too much to do. Too little time. Too many cats […]

Critical diacritics

February 20, 2004

One of the great things about going up to London last weekend was that I got to spend quite a bit of time with my Teach Yourself Polish book. I’ve completed Chapters 1 and 2 now and have been constantly revising them. It’s important at this stage of the game not to rush it, not […]

Welcome to IRCers Anonymous

February 19, 2004

Up in London again last Sunday to meet with a bunch of guys from #joiito, including Gary Turner, whose blog has been a daily read of mine for, like, ever. Because I’d been so blown away by The Weather Project when I went to see it last time, I’d suggested to the guys that we […]

"I see your weird atonal yipping and raise you a strange piercing drone"

February 19, 2004

I've just been introduced to the joys of Russian folk music by Maciej over at Idle* Words. No cute boys with guitars. No amps. In fact, no instruments at all, just a bunch of Russian speakers with lungs like bellows and a preternatural ability to yip. Yet, despite years of blinkered obsession with indie rock, […]

The trouble with long weekends…

February 18, 2004

Too many emails, too many photos, too much to blog. Please excuse me whilst my head a splode.

Fancy a little lie down?

February 14, 2004

What can you expect from a bunch of sodium street lamps hung up in a dark room? Not much, from the sounds of it. Yet I couldn’t help but be stunned by Olafur Eliasson’s Weather Project in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern. The Turbine Hall is really a very big space, but usually […]

Blogging by proxy

February 14, 2004

I was just talking to Kevin Marks on #joiito, when he commented about how he's been blogging by proxy recently: hanging out in irc and with bloggers at ETCon, and then having his comments blogged about by other people. I've been guilty of this – my Clangers post that got picked up by Neil Gaiman […]

Yoinks and away!

February 14, 2004

Off to London again tomorrow. Back Weds. If I owe you an email, sorry. I'll try to reply later in the week. Meantime, can you feed the plants, water the cat and generally keep an eye on the place for me? Ta muchly.

Second Zoetrope RU-UK London meet-up

February 13, 2004

It’s always a bit strange posting pics of meet-ups, because intrinsically they’re really not very interesting for anyone who wasn’t actually there or who doesn’t already know the guilty parties, er, I mean, meeter-uppers. In basic terms, it was a basic pub-then-dinner evening, nothing really fancy except that everyone there was a writer of some […]

Is there one action that will start a cascade of new Welsh bloggers as happened in Iran?

February 11, 2004

I just verbally (typographically?) vomited on Joi Ito's blog about this. Oops.
