Somebody, please, just give me a damn job

September 30, 2003

Looking for jobs again this morning. Still not finding anything at all. So far I've had not even so much as a snifter of interest from any agent – they all keep telling me that the market's quiet, and what am I doing in Dorset if I want work up north? Towards the end of […]

Celeb infiltration continues

September 30, 2003

Last night it was Bill Gates. Eurgh. He was a computing professor at the university I was studying at, and I liked him… My subconscious is just winding me up on purpose now.

Never assume anything, Gisburne, except an occasional air of intelligence

September 29, 2003

Well, just sitting on the platform at Arundel station, waiting for the train to Chichester and the beginning of my journey back to the deepest, darkest depths of Dorset. It's been a lovely weekend, full of not very much except a little shopping, a little fixing of computers and a lot of Robin of Sherwood. […]

Off for the weekend

September 26, 2003

No more blogging now til Monday when I get back. Btw, yesterday was fantastic – Chris Sheldon's just a lovely guy and had lots of really interesting things to say. I spent most of our two hours meeting in stitches. The guy sure knows how to tell an anecdote! Whiled away the rest of the […]

Finding Nemo… Nemo Found

I steal so much from Jonathan at A Final Analysis. This time, I'll just send you his way instead of appropriating his post as my own…

Many a true word spoken in anagrams

September 25, 2003

Discovered the Internet Anagram Server today. Apparently, my little blog here is a DATA CHOKED VOLCANO, which is interesting as I myself am an ASTRACHAN MAGMA NURSER. Well, that explains it then.

Another jaunt to Londinium

September 24, 2003

Off to the capital tomorrow to talk to Chris Sheldon, a record producer who's worked with some rather big bands. Spent half an hour chatting to him this evening and he's invited me up to the studio to watch him work tomorrow. Once this is done, that will be all my research for SP2 completed. […]

On the job front

September 24, 2003

I sent my CV off to another eight agencies today, one of which actually had a job for me to apply for – a web project manager position in Leeds which would do me quite nicely. So fingers crossed. I am, however, a teensy bit worried – most of the agents I’ve spoken to have […]

MSN to close all chat rooms

September 24, 2003

The BBC and The Guardian report on MSN’s decision to close all their UK chat rooms from 14 October because they are being used by porn spammers and paedophiles. Chat rooms in the rest of Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and most of Asia are also for the chop. Rooms elsewhere will remain open […]

Bye bye Concorde

September 23, 2003

So, the tickets for Concorde’s final flights are selling out, even at ?8292 for a return. Suffice to say that I won’t get to sample the delights of supersonic flight before the delta-wing hits the scrap heap. When I was a kid, every year we would go down to The Lizard in Cornwall (that’s a […]

Radiohead: It's about bummed-out dolphins

September 23, 2003

Radiohead. I'm biased when it comes to Radiohead. I have… opinions… Not just opiniony opinions, but OPINIONS. Not all of them good, not all of them fair, but all of them right. But then, who doesn't have OPINIONS about Radiohead? Where can one get an objective viewpoint when it comes to Thom and his cronies? […]

Library Hotel in New York sued

September 22, 2003

The Online Computer Centre, owners of the Dewey Decimal System, are suing the Library Hotel in New York (about which I’ve blogged before) for trademark infringement, hoping to gain three times the hotel’s profits since opening or three times the organisation’s damages, whichever is greater. It’s a shame that such lawsuits get filed – the […]
