For those of us with pencil lead buried under our skin

August 3, 2004

Discovered today that my new boss, Livio, and I share something unusual – we both have chunks of pencil let under our skin. Mine is in the palm of my hand, Livio's is in the webbing inbetween his fingers. But that's not the end of today's coincidence. Tonight I am staying in my friend Gerard's […]

Trying to kick the IRC habit

July 27, 2004

I've spent too much time on IRC lately. Since I upgraded my OS and lost use of my second monitor – a loss that hit me hard because I'd only just got used to it – I have found that my IRC habit has increased to unacceptable levels. It's therefore not a surprise that I […]

Interspecies translation help requested

July 23, 2004

I need someone who is fluent in written Cat to write me two signs, one which says “It does not matter what you do, I am not getting up for at least another hour”, and another which says “Please remove your tail from my nose. Thank you.” And no, locking them in the kitchen/out of […]

Whoo!, with additional Hoo!

July 16, 2004

It’s funny how things work out sometimes. No more than a couple of weeks ago I was sitting on a plane on my way to Vienna when the steward announced that if there was a Mr Lee Bryant on board he should raise his hand. Knowing we had mutual friends and were both heading to […]

Aaaand back up to London again

July 15, 2004

It would be so much simpler if I just lived there. Unfortunately, I'm committed to spending two months looking after my parents' house and cats whilst they bugger off to Australia on holiday. Alright for some. Me? Bitter? No… Anyway, back tomorrow, if I can figure out how to get from Ringwood to here without […]

The end is nigh. But in a good way

July 13, 2004

In case you were wondering, the discussions went well. I am a happy bunny who should soon have a stable income. More details as they're confirmed. Managed to catch the last part of the Social Tools in Enterprise Symposium in London yesterday, which comprised the last section of David Gurteen's Social Software Cafe, and Euan […]

Dinner with Doc

July 10, 2004

Doc Searls is considering dinner tomorrow in London. I'd love to go, but I have a sneaking suspicion I am not going to make it. Unfortunately, his blog's not letting me leave comments so I'm saying this here instead. (Hi Doc!) I had also been hoping to get up to the London Symposium on Social […]

I'm back!

July 9, 2004

And more than ever I want to put a large sledgehammer through this stupid pc of mine and buy a Mac. Except I have no money to buy a Mac. Maybe I should start a Mac Fund for donations. Hmm…

Leaving Las Ve… Vienna

July 9, 2004

I don't wanna go!! *pouts* I've had a fantastic time and have taken about 240 photos, which might take me a wee while to sort through. It has been a really great week – thanks mainly to my kind and generous host, Horst, and the other lovely people I met here. Off to catch the […]

The journey, first impressions

July 4, 2004

Well, just a quick post whilst I wait for the football match to be over. (Last I heard it was 1-0 Greece but that was half an hour ago.) I warn you now that I'm on a Mac and this kezboard is weird so I keep having to search for keys. The z is where […]

My god, we got neighed at!

July 2, 2004

It definitely was not a catcall… Svetla and I were just innocently and non-provocatively walking down the street and I swear we got neighed at by a bloke in a passing car. Is that how guys pick up hot chicks these days? Hm. Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all this time. *neigh!* Huh… […]
