2004

Here be I in Glasgee Toon, sitting at the workplace of my friend Grahame who I used to work with back in the Old Days at Mindvision (I won't say Good or Bad Old Days, because there was a fair mix of both). You might wonder why I'm in here typing this rather than out…

Before I get all retrospective, I guess a quick account of what I've been up to for the past couple of days wouldn't go astray. I *finally* made it to the Museum of London the other day to see the rest of what was there. Not content with having seen the development of London merely…

All I can think of are dumb James Bond jokes ! Anyway, on Sunday I went with Richie and Ciaran down to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Ordinarily I probably wouldn't go to a botanic garden, because it's not really the kind of thing I get that interested in, however given my recent surge…

OK, firstly, a new word for you which quite frankly I didn't believe was a word, but dictionary.com seemed to indicate otherwise. Bowdlerize Bowd”ler*ize, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Bowdlerized; p. pr. & vb. n. Bowdlerizing.] [After Dr. Thomas Bowdler, an English physician, who published an expurgated edition of Shakespeare in 1818.] To expurgate,…

After spending nearly all day farting about with it, I *finally* got my photo gallery working properly again. I have to say, God Damn I Hate Computers. I wrestled with various error messages and options for a couple of hours, before throwing in the towel and deciding to find a different bit of software to…

I'm now back in London after my week down at the seaside. And what a lovely time I had !! Once again, it was sooooo cool to be able to cath up with Roie and meet her boy, JC, as well as catching up with Kerri and Sarah, and Sarah's b/f Matt, before THEY all…

I'm really struggling with using Netcafe's for my Net Connectivity needs, and right at the minute that is manifesting itself in the form of my really shite memory not being helpful when I get around to updating my website ! I know that ONE of the things I wanted to talk about was my visit…

Updates are possibly going to get a little scattered at this point, and photos even more so, for I am now on the road and having a look around at a few things/places, and don't have the luxury of my own internet connection. It's a hard life but I'll manage. Somehow. Friday I think I…

I think my body clock's officially stuffed. I used to think that my sleeping in was just because my body was in Adelaide but my mind was in Perth, and I was therefore operating 2 hours or so behind… logically, giving my system a huge jolt like moving to London should set things right ?…

Oh boy, I've gone and gotten behind on my logging again. Now, one thing I forgot to mention was my constant amusement at the quaint place names they have around here. For example, there's a tube station called “Tooting Bec”. Makes you feel special knowing there's a place with that name, doesn't it ? Their…
