One of the friends that I made in La Rochelle in the long summer of ’94 (gee, can it really be ten years?!!) is from Iceland. We’ve stayed in contact ever since, however, until now I have been decidedly slack…

I’ve now ordered myself an additional 256MB of memory for my camera, which, along with the two 128 cards I have, will give me space for in excess of 800 (all but best quality) photos (yes, I take a lot…

Take your friends list, write it out substituting real first names for usernames, where known. Let’s see if I know everyone’s names…

Stream of thought? I’ve thunk… *grins* And now, seeings as the sun is shining, the temperature is rising, I’ve just had an email from one of my Estonian friends, I think I shall BEESify some EPH whilst plugged in to…

Entente Cordiale! That’s me just behind Hilary, the principle flute receiving our raptuous applause for our damn good playing of Elgar’s Enigma Variations on Saturday…

I could wait no longer. Tonight I upped and went down to the Odeon Aylesbury to feast in over two hours of Harry Potter magic. It was great and,

Half way through making my dinner tonight of tagilatelli carbonara I discovered that I didn’t have any pasta. So I made it with rice instead. It was nice. You should definitely try it sometime.

Thank you OpenHosting, and thank you BulkRegister! Finally I am free of Advent (bloody) Internet – possibly the worst webhost and domain registrant in the world – ever!! But now I am free. All the websites I control, here, here,…

Finally, after an age too long, the words section of my website has been upgraded to the new style, and xhtml compliant asp pages. Hopefully it will be even easier to navigate… Hrmm, just need to do something more stylistic…

“This goes to show that people who get by without a diagnosis have found a niche where they can use their skills to make a contribution. This need not be dramatic – perhaps they are a very methodical worker, who…

For making Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 available to the US people.

Well, my collection of mood themes is complete – faces from tv and film is the theme – and it seems there’s an awful lot of Katie Holms and Keira Knightley there, but what the heck, there’s also some faces…
