On Saturday afternoon (about a month ago now) when Housemate James & I returned from our mission to Essex, we got into Liverpool Street Station and thought, “We’re in no particular hurry – lets wander about and have a look at some of the buildings in The City, for a change”. So we did. It’s…
In a followup to my story on keyboard/hand hygiene, I’ve been noting with growing concern the state of my office keyboard, and idly musing to myself “Hmm, I must do something about that”. As with many office drones in this day and age, my Lunch Hour typically consists of running downstairs to the nearest sandwich…
(Apologies in advance: this post largely concerns the Microsoft Songsmith meme, which I’ve only just found out about and am emailing at 1:03am because it seemed more important than sleep. If you’ve heard it all before then feel free to ignore this and carry on with your life.) OK, so those wacky boffins in at…
Would you believe that our morris dancing team was asked if we were available this weekend to appear in a rap video? Good lord, even typing it makes me feel 50 years old…
In the absence of any other tangible way of measuring one’s progress through life, I thought this might be worth reporting. Although I’m not 100% sure what prompted the Sean Connery-eqsue subject line, but letsh not focush on that, hmm? This afternoon my Friends list on Facebook (I’m assuming that, at this point, you know…
As in, Twitter, the digerati-popular and equivalently lauded/derided “micro-blogging” service. Sort of reminds me a bit of Douglas Adams‘ description of the Belcerebon people of Kakrafoon: a race whose enlightened civilisation was reduced to a gibbering wreck due to an intergalactic sentence passed on their world such that instead of being thoughtful and contemplative they…
2 things really. 1) I didn’t think the phrase “elk-bothering stilts” should go unblogged (i.e. “Go strap on your elk-bothering stilts, and let’s go bother some elks!”) 2) the bloke in the following photo isn’t me: he’s in the USA, and his hat’s the wrong colour.
I wouldn’t call myself exactly up with the bleeding edge of the Web 2.0 thing, but I have the occasional dabble to see what’s going on out there in the big wide world. Interesting that, amid all the economic turmoil going on out there and the savage swinging back & forth of the business axe…
Hello from Bristol, where I’m enjoying a relaxed weekend of catching up with former housemate & shoe purveyor extraordinaire, the lovely Charlie. She’s once again demonstrated her amazing talents of assimilating local knowledge by taking me to a stonkingly good pub last night (The Cornubia), and we’re now reclining in The Pipe & Slippers while…
Ebay is (arguably, was) the most brilliant thing ever. Providing a global boundaryless marketplace where you can drift around looking for the most unlikely stuff… quite what prompts me to look for half of this shite, I couldn’t tell you – however among some of the gems I’ve acquired are an incomplete set of A…
