  • White Rabbit

    What? White Rabbit, you wonder? Did he get another pet? No – he didn’t get another pet. That’s the provisional title of my Game Chef effort, which almost definitely won’t get completed by the 19/20th September deadline. While I enjoy reading games, and occasionally playing them too, I never seem to have enough time to…

  • Do To-Do

    Yes, I’m finding it easier to get things done with a to-do list. Mind you, having tried to use two or three on the iPhone, I’ve realised it needs to be desktop or paper-based. Unless I can find a good one that effectively stretches across iPhone and desktop in a seamless, sync’d-in fashion. Having a…

  • Like A Hole in the Head

    I’ve become intrigued by the web of the Internet, the interrelationship between sites and pages forming organically over time. I have been spending time trying to iron out some loopholes and gaps in my site content of late, because people have linked to stuff from here in the past that I have then lost or…

  • So Connected It Hurts

    I may reach a point where I can do everything from anywhere, with any device. Having discovered I can text to Twitter and email to Posterous, I can also reach my own blog, it would appear, via email as well. Whatever next? Facebook updates by carrier pigeon? MySpace by telegram? It never ceases to make…

  • Time And Relative Breakfast

    I’d love to understand why I always seem to end up taking more time to have breakfast than anything else in the morning. If I want to get out early, I choose to have toast. If I want to get out really early, I skip breakfast altogether. A full toast, cereal and mug of coffee…

  • Serious Cereal

    I have a problem with the morning… I enjoy it too much when I have the chance to read the overnight news, catch up on forums, sip coffee and chew toast/cereal. I’m not so keen on the bit that involves running around, getting showered and changed, then forging off into the dark/cold towards work (through…

  • Defiantly Going to Bed

    Just watched Defiance. The Jews suffered incredibly in their efforts to survive – I’m thankful not to have been around during that dark time. As a retelling of a true story, it made harrowing viewing. My wife seemed stunned that it was based on true events. I’m stunned that we live in a society that…

  • Concealed Lighting

    Yeah, I have finally managed to start the torturous process of replacing my video tapes with DVDs. Mind, I’m not talking about replacing official tapes with discs… In my youth, I had the habit of recording almost any noteworthy comedies or films on blank tapes. I have treasured copies of ‘A Bit Of Fry &…

  • Bank Holiday Weekend Damnation

    Having off the move to the new server for a fortnight, I finally realised that delaying any longer was likely to be a risk. I’m maintaining the old and new solution at the moment, so if I don’t make haste and get the work done, I pay double for longer. Not a good idea. So,…
