Router upgrade
Well, that was a surprisingly uneventful afternoon. I had planned to be spending the afternoon upgrading my router from this rather noisy Research Machines P75 box-with-no-lid (photo is about 3 years old), to a nice shiney new Soekris net4801. It was almost annoyingly boring ( Read more... ) -
Opinion
A thought has been slowly bubbling in my head lately, I thought today I'd get around to posting on it. I should note for the record, I don't necessarily agree with this statement in its entirety, but it's something worth thinking upon.
"All people should be paid a salary that reflects the unpleasantness of their work, combined with the social ( Read more... ) -
EuroFurence XIII
It sure is a bandwagon when the likes of even me start joining it, but I just thought I'd briefly post to say I've registered for EF13. Quite what anyone's to do with this fact, I haven't yet worked out. At a start, I suppose they wouldn't poke me into doing it.. But then, I don't think anyone really does anyway.. Ho hum ( Read more... ) -
Obligatory Christmas Update
Seems everyone is at it, and I don't want to feel left out, so I'm up here in a spare bedroom in my parents' house doing it.

And an original-edition set of Pit cards. Not the new reprinted ones, ( Read more... ) -
Multicultural manholes
I've just spent a nice early evening wandering about central London, and decided randomly to stop for sushi.

That all in combination with my sudden ( Read more... ) -

Transitive emotional help
It seems today that 4 separate people talked with me on various subjects, all of them fairly sad and depressed in respective ways. Not that I don't care.. but... I really can't quite fit my head into these sorts of situations. I'd like to be helpful and useful, but if I can't get my head around it, I can't really be much help. I'm a happy-bouncy ( Read more... ) -
Conbadge + userpic
I've just got around to scanning in my conbadge that Miko drew of me at EF12.
The badge looks something like:

Back off to mundane-land
After a week away at EuroFurence, I'm now heading back up to work. As others have mentioned already, it seems a massive comedown from the highs. This is a quick post 'cause I'm in a hurry, I should get to work. A bigger post will come sometime later, when I've gathered my thoughts on what to write. I shalln't bother with the boring trivialities, I' ( Read more... )
