Today was all about collecting the hire car. I was somewhat… concerned about driving over here. I was up early because of the jet lag, and it took me about 3 hours to leave the house. Mostly because I was trying to put off having to drive for as long as possible. I set off [ READ MORE ]
The time finally came and I have managed to make my way to the USA without any horrible amounts of pain. My flights were not too bad, the international leg was 7 hours (it was early) and they gave me a pillow and a blanket, and access to a choice of movies and TV on [ READ MORE ]
I’m rubbish at keeping a blog I have decided, I have things I want to talk about in my head but none which I want random people to read. Pretty sure that’s what blogs are for. Maybe it’s because I’m not an angst ridden emotional teenager and I want to keep my private life to [ READ MORE ]
Following a discussion with a friend from Mexico this evening, I’ve realised that my memory is going. I was trying to describe playground games from my time at primary school, and I fear that some of them have gone forever from my mind. In an effort to combat this I thought I’d document the ones [ READ MORE ]
I’ve recently been working on a personal project to set myself up a fileserver with redundant storage, and I thought I’d combine this with a desire to run my own installation of Myth TV. In the house I’m currently living in, my room is in the attic and the only aerial input is fed into [ READ MORE ]
Bit of a funny Christmas this year, not that I’d really got used to not spending Christmas with my parents, but they took me away to a holiday cottage for the week instead of spending time at my sister’s house. It was very different, and not necessarily in a bad way, but it doesn’t really [ READ MORE ]
I stayed up really late again last night, because I was worried about a meeting today at midday, and I’d broken something I was meant to be demonstrating. As a result of staying up late, I slept through my meeting. I just wanted to emphasise the idiocy there. I was woken by a phone call [ READ MORE ]
Had a pretty awesome evening all things considered, I should have done a lot of work today, many things on my to-do list that I completely ignored. I suspect staying up till 5am yesterday probably scuppered my chances for getting anything useful done today, but that’s not the point. I’m going to focus on the [ READ MORE ]
I’ve spent a lot of time today and yesterday playing around with web software, notably Wordpress (which has got so much nicer to install and use since the last time I was poking it) and today Gallery3. I’ve had a gallery online for quite a long time – it sits alongside a blog I try [ READ MORE ]
There has to be a first entry at some point now I’ve relocated I suppose, so here it is. I’m testing out some themes at the moment, currently using something very simplistic and quite stylised – not like me at all. I think I’ll probably spend quite a bit of time fixing things, but not [ READ MORE ]
