You are here.
Before leaving Australia it seemed that I spent a reasonable amount of time helping people shift house. And indeed, I probably spend more time shifting house *myself* than many people would. But at the back of my mind it occurred to me “Well, at least when you leave Australia there won't be any of that…
Why OK then, I will! Booking tickets to get on the train at 7:20 seemed like a great idea, until we calculated that we'd need to get up by 5:30 in order to make it to the train station from where we were staying!! Surprisingly though we made it, and I settled in for my…
Welcome back. Through the magic of computers it now seems to be a week later even though I only finished my last entry this morning. I'll get on with it, shall I ? On Friday I caught up with young Mr Nicklearse Klau and wandered about with him while the Three Musketeers shot off to…
Gotta make this quick, cos I only have about 15 mins left at this netcafe. Wandered past a shoe shop and glanced at a particular shoe – no sooner had I done this than the guy whisked me inside and brought the shoes out for me to try on. They didn't have my size, so…
Well well, I'm now in France – my first ever non-English speaking country (no, Scotland doesn't count), and my first experience with one of these weirdo European keyboards I've heard so much about… OK, so the rest of my Scottish trip first: I totally failed to make it into Glasgow the other day – I…
Here be I in Glasgee Toon, sitting at the workplace of my friend Grahame who I used to work with back in the Old Days at Mindvision (I won't say Good or Bad Old Days, because there was a fair mix of both). You might wonder why I'm in here typing this rather than out…
Before I get all retrospective, I guess a quick account of what I've been up to for the past couple of days wouldn't go astray. I *finally* made it to the Museum of London the other day to see the rest of what was there. Not content with having seen the development of London merely…
All I can think of are dumb James Bond jokes ! Anyway, on Sunday I went with Richie and Ciaran down to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Ordinarily I probably wouldn't go to a botanic garden, because it's not really the kind of thing I get that interested in, however given my recent surge…
OK, firstly, a new word for you which quite frankly I didn't believe was a word, but dictionary.com seemed to indicate otherwise. Bowdlerize Bowd”ler*ize, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Bowdlerized; p. pr. & vb. n. Bowdlerizing.] [After Dr. Thomas Bowdler, an English physician, who published an expurgated edition of Shakespeare in 1818.] To expurgate,…
After spending nearly all day farting about with it, I *finally* got my photo gallery working properly again. I have to say, God Damn I Hate Computers. I wrestled with various error messages and options for a couple of hours, before throwing in the towel and deciding to find a different bit of software to…
