For the first time in my life, I am not clean shaven (excluding all those bristly times, when I was neither clean shaven, nor bearded).

It's now roughly half way through Movember, so I thought I really ought to get around to actually telling people about it, so they can donate money. It's all rather a bit pointless otherwise, really.

So, go! Here ( Read more... )

I noticed this evening, when texting a colleague, that the last text I meant to send to wulfboy actually went to him. Whoops.

Still, explains why wulfboy didn't reply.

Text read:
"I don't know, you don't answer your emails, you never call, I don't think you love me anymore. You've found somebody else. It's that Delvy hussy, isn't it. The little whore. I think ( Read more... )

I'm positive the Sun will still be claiming that they've never been involved in phone hacking, of no, that was just their sister paper, but I'm watching Lulz Sec completely owning them with more than a little schadenfreude. It's rather less interesting this morning (they appear to be offline), but I did enjoy their little piece about Murdoch's ( Read more... )

So, having said that my laptop is too big and heavy to take on the train, kneeshooter asked me to write some software for him last night. The most sensible place to do this appears to be ... the train ( Read more... )

Day 2 on the LiveJournal train, and the hayfever is starting to get to yapman. (In the unlikely event that any Kindle devs are reading this, please make the 'Sym' selector wrap. Thank you ( Read more... )

So, I was wondering. Since I can't post from work, and I clearly don't seem to have time to post in the evenings, is it feasible to post from the train ( Read more... )

I feel somewhat guilty that I've been reading about loads of people's lives, but never get around to writing anything these days. It's not helped, of course, by the fact that I now work somewhere that takes a robust attitude to blocking access from frivolous web sites, but still, I've been pretty shit at posting anything ( Read more... )

Viki and I have been wondering what to take to read when we go to Kenya. Since we have a pitiful luggage allowance, the fat hardbacks I have sitting around aren't seeming a great idea. Then pax_draconis inadvertently reminded me that I still haven't got around to reading any of China Miéville's books yet ( Read more... )

I have actually done some work today, but not a lot, by any stretch of the imagination ...

H posted a link to some interesting things on twitter (Interesting things the the internet). A couple of things really caught my eye, Chromaroma looks like quite a cool game to play if you have an oyster card, and the Mongoliad, which seems to be an online ( Read more... )

So, I spoke to the man this morning, and will be picking up an shiny, old Jaguar at the end of the week. It's pretty much the ideal time to have a car that's unfeasibly outrageous and not the slightest bit sensible, since I'll almost never actually be doing any driving in it. Plus it was dirt cheap. It won't be dirt cheap to run, of course, but I ( Read more... )
