Good news:Scored well paid temp job starting Monday. Have interview for slightly lower paid proper job Tuesday. Have met one of my two vague this year fitness goals - my resting pulse is now below 60 (I've got a long way to go to meet the other goal - bets on what my pulse will get down to?). Ale trailing goes well - only 6 pubs left till I have ( Read more... ) -
I'll take one of those, please
Mmmmm, camera lust.
I'd put it on some wishlist so you can all buy me one, but it's currently only available in Japan.
- Summary of drool-worthy features:
- Full resolution 60fps burst mode. Not only this, but as soon as you half-press shutter release, it's taking 60fps, and after you full-press, you can pick any of the burst to keep. Always get ( Read more... )

Reading people who want to hear some high energy funk should turn up to the Pitcher and Piano tomorrow evening. Big Train's Haymaker will be there for you, they're good.
Also, Leonard Cohen recently announced a world tour after a 15 year gap... I would be very interested to hear if anyone else is wanting some tickets. -
I... I had enough sleep!
It feels like I've had a double espresso. It's entirely possible my sleep is being supressed to prevent me taking over the world. I guess MI5 had the dish pointing the wrong way last night. -
loft clearance - free techy bits
As per title, I'm spring cleaning my assorted junk computer parts. Odds are it's all too old and will be tipped / recycled, but I thought I'd offer it up on the off chance.
- So far dredged from the depths:
- Some kind of slot Celeron + MB
- Two ATX cases
- Two believed dead monitors (17in VGA and some soviet era Sparc monitor with adapter)
- Socket 370 MB

I had my first private dentist visit today. Oh, the horrible expense! Still, seeing inside your teeth is cool. She thinks my minor toothache and temperature sensitivity is down to not flossing enough, giving me slightly inflamed gums, and possibly muscular tension (need new glasses). If you say you think you might need a filling, and the ( Read more... ) -

*shudder*
I've only just noticed that my phone has default templates for text messages.
"I'm in a meeting", "I am late. I will be there at", "I will be arriving at". All quite sensible and possibly useful. But a pre-written "I love you too", I find that disturbing. -
Ding Dong Daddios
A reminder that they're playing in Reading, Pitcher and Piano, tomorrow evening. According to their myspace, it's a regular last-thursday of the month gig.
I probably won't be going, as I have a bit of a fever and fainted today, sliding down a wall and bruising my face. Elegant and sophisticated! -
geek question
Could people with cross-platform GUI app experience - usage or development - give me some opinions on what toolkits are good ( Read more... )
