I arise. Am I going to write a catch-up entry? No. I have no time. I will however state what I'm doing now. I'm going for the gusto, and have initiated Wife Hunt III: The Wifeinator. I'm currently in Amsterdam, and I'll be damned if I don't marry one of these Dutch super-babes that I just couldn't stand seeing any more in pictures being all ( Read more... )

The weather these past two days has been extraordinary to say the least. In times gone past people would have suspected sorcery. I for one still do. I've leapt outdoors with a meal in hand for some glorious outdoor breakfasts only to discover that whilst blue skies surround me, the sky above is extremely dark and leaky. I sat down at the garden ( Read more... )

I'm more or less just checking in to prove I'm not dead. It may be Sunday, but I've got precious little time. Work progresses as it always does. I've passed my six month probation and have duly been installed as a permanent member of the team. I've got a long way to go before I'm the finished product though, I've learned some hard lessons about ( Read more... )

It's been too long once more since last I wrote an entry in here. I would like to say I have grown mighty since then, but I don't have the cape to back up that statement ( Read more... )

I've been going operating system crazy of late, attempting to try as many as I can, especially those that are uncommon or unusual. I've not had universal success, Solaris gives me whatever trouble it feels like at the time. If it was a consistent error at install I'd understand, but it seems to just randomly throw a strop and listen to loud rap ( Read more... )

So I've finally done it. The moment I'd been dreading for over a year has passed. I managed to avoid watching Logan's Run for all the stress I'd have in thinking people would be after me for the colour of the spot on my hand, but I happened to watch a lot of Doctor Who, in particular the transition between Doctor 10 and 11. Everything that is ( Read more... )

I won't pretend this is going to be a catch-up entry, because too much has happened since my last entry for me to even remember, nevermind write about. I hope somehow I can get back into a regular updating routine at some point in the future, but for now I may have to make do with fits and starts ( Read more... )

It's been far too long since I last updated, but that's long become a theme by now, so perhaps in light of recent history I'm exactly on time ( Read more... )

This feels rather good - I'm typing this whilst sitting back on the bed and giving my leg some much-needed elevation. I've invested (finally) in a wireless keyboard and mouse, freeing me from the constrains of a hard wooden chair and giving me the opportunity to give myself eye strain. Nevermind, I'll think of something, even if I have to use a ( Read more... )

Now that the leg is in the care of the health system, I can talk about what I'd been meaning to before this health crisis exploded. I've been a software developer for about seven weeks now. Well, perhaps five and a bit since I'd been off on sick leave for a week and a half. I didn't want to mention at first in case it all exploded in my face, ( Read more... )
