Okay, as Edith pointed out that my last post rather hid the important part of it:

I am marrying chess on the fifth of August, at 11.30am in Churchill College chapel. Please come; this is an invitation for you, yes you.There will be a reception after the wedding, also at Churchill College. This is by specific invitation only, and will mostly be full ( Read more... )

I'm back from Maelstrom, and feeling guilty about not updating my journal in, um, ages. Maelstrom, for those not in the know, is a weekend-long LARP event. It's great, and everyone should come. Conquest of the New World, but the natives are variously human-sized, intelligent (if often stupid in the way only the intelligent can be) snakes and ( Read more... )

Prompted by senji's question Quite Some Time Ago, I've been trying to persuade LaTeX to do some of the calculations needed on an Ars Magica character sheet. The character sheet that resulted is here. It provides handy commands for listing your Technique + Form totals and showing one-line spell summaries. These last include the amount by which your ( Read more... )

As most of you are probably already aware, chess and I are getting married. We now have a date: the fifth of August 2006.

I'm now back on the spod again. In recognition of this, I'm posting LiveJournal while in bed with my girlfriend. Truly, the wonders of modern technology know no bounds ( Read more... )

I have given up teh Spod for Lent. This includes all LJ. The observant will notice that Sundays are not part of Lent. That's about it.

Christmas holiday was good. Food still yummy, London still full of far too many bags of water on legs. I now have a rather fun, if questionably useful, wind-up LED torch. There was a rather nice ToothyParty at the new year, which made up very nicely for our cunningly-hatched party plans falling through ( Read more... )

As ways of avoiding the plague of twisted dreams going around, though, it leaves something to be desired.

Dana D. Dlott is starting to grow on me. It's nice when someone points out what experiments you need to do to get parameters for their theory. If she only had better taste in references - one of the books doesn't actually exist, according to the British Library. Another says very little on the topic she's using it for, and nothing at all which ( Read more... )
