CATCHING UP!
Since last time I was here, wherein I talked a lot about changing jobs and political drama - I changed again! I now commute to Cardiff to work for lawyers. Still programming.

Throw Away Your Television

I don't like being called a Nazi
On Saturday, I joined a few (reports vary between ten and over twenty thousand) like-minded people on a stroll through London to let David Cameron know that we aren’t very happy ( Read more... )
