The Big Bang Theory
There aren't many TV programmes that can make me guffaw. Not Boosh, rarely Red Dwarf (although there's about to be some new episodes of that, over Easter), never Little Britain.
But there is one - I watched a new (to me) episode last night, of The Big Bang Theory.
Those in the UK can catch-up on 4oD here. I presume it's available on catch-up in the ( Read more... ) -
Inevitibilities
"The only things certain in life are death and taxes." - Benjamin Franklin
"I plan on living forever. So far, so good" - Danny Baker
That leaves taxes.
I am a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) taxpayer, but I do a tax return every year (although I got a letter from the tax office last month, saying that I don't need to submit a self-assessment tax return any ( Read more... ) -
On LJ & Twitter
My previous post was analysis from a Twitter-post. The Tweet said:
- Singing along to "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" in the car this morning, I realised that I'm a fiend for great disco tunes. LJ Analysis.

They were talking about the Brothers Grimm tales, and one of the academics said that there was no mention of middle classes in the stories because there was little chance of that class of person in Victorian times being able to affect their station, until one of the brothers was able to ( Read more... ) -
Geeky Keep Fit Games
I have an HTC Touch Diamond smartphone. It came with Vodafone Satnav, which I've used a couple of times (when I've forgotten to take my PDA with me, which has Tomtom on it). Vodafone SatNav uses the built-in GPS facilities on my phone. I also have an "unlimited" dataplan from Vodafone, because it costs only £5 extra per month, and I'd use more ( Read more... ) -
Writing style
I read. Quite a lot. Now I'm regularly using an RSS feed reader, as well as LJ, Twitter, Facebook, various forums, and doing the same for work-related content, I'm reading more and more ( Read more... ) -
Which Office Suite to Use?
A quick personal history ...
I remember the release of Uniplex v6.01 with fondness, although I don't recall any of the feature improvements. It was the first office suite I enjoyed using, and provided a level of integrated use that I hadn't noticed before.
After that, when I moved from Unix to a PC, I used WordPerfect 5.0, then 5.1 (along with Lotus ( Read more... ) -
Living By Numbers
I was just going through my morning routine of checking Facebook, LiveJournal & Twitter, before I make myself a cuppa, or perhaps get dressed (or at least out of bed), when the song "Living By Numbers" pops into my head for no discernable reason ( Read more... ) -
Eco-friendly website hosting
I've been toying with the idea, for 15 years, of creating my own website. I once started, but the editors around at that time (about 1998) were too bloody awkward for me to bother with ( Read more... )
