Crenellation
So last week a friend of mine was over from Canada, so we chose to see a bit of the country.
Sunday the 20th we went to Leeds castle, which as should be obvious is in Kent, about 250 miles away from Leeds. Over the years, as castles became less important in warfare, it has been converted into a stately home, though is still reasonably striking.

To make my week complete
It started well, falling through the ceiling, costing me about £700+ for the repair, and just kept getting better so that today I was sent home ill.
If I kept a diary it would go a little like this:
Dear Diary
Today I fell through the floor and tore half my side off.

I've finally got my act together enough to finally get my boiler and heating system installed. It's on order and everything will be going in next Monday.

When the securities began to ( Read more... ) -
The True Origins of the Sub-prime Economy [PART ONE]
The State of the Market

The current economic crisis has arisen on the back of simultaneous Oil and Food pricing crises, both contributing and militating the effect of the credit crunch. The credit ( Read more... ) -
Partially Reconstructed
I've not posted in awhile, so I'd thought I'd give chuck this out. There's a lot to post on, I've still got no heating, but my new Windows seem to be making a difference so that I'm not freezing to death. In fact a lot of the time I'm opening windows because heat from the flat below is turning my lounge in to a sauna.

Data infirmity
So, to throw my hat into the ring of having to redo days of work, the Dalek model I've spent the last two weeks working on has been erased for absolutely no apparent reason. I saved it out last night, after finishing the animation rig, so the model was basically finished, but when I came to load it this morning, max crashed. So I opened up the ( Read more... )
