This is where I've been going wrong all these years...

Ladder Theory. I think I understood the principles behind Ladder Theory, but it's nice to see it crystalised like this. It's quite a funny read too.

Only 110 hours to go...

...until I fly to Canada - oh I can't wait for two months of skiing my nuts off...

The sound of slience...

They're making me work before I get on holiday. A whole world of computers and software to bring into service, and then moving it all a mile across town to a new office. Actually, moving an office is a great time to meet all kinds of people that you might not meet - electricians, fitters, movers... it's all good (but incredibly knackering).

The Coofer-Nephew

He's very cool - and (I think) the first baby I've ever held. Takes a bit of getting used to...

The Wookey Hole Inn

About a dozen of us went to the Wookey Hole Inn (unsuprisingly, in Wookey Hole, Somerset). An experience not to be repeated.

The Coofer-Nephew

I just heard I'm an uncle. Congratulations to my sister and her husband, a boy of 6lbs (name TBA), born 7am this morning. Welcome to the world, Coofer-Nephew!

Terrorism Makes You Stupid

A comment from 'robert' (aka Knoby) tells us that Flight Sims cause terror alerts in the US. The Register also reproduces the story about how the FBI have been saying "beware the almanac". This sounds to me like a subversive attempt to dumb down the American public - an uneducated populous is unlikely to question the (educated) government. Avoid education: It shall avoid ye terrorism (except it has already caused goodness knows how much of it).

Let me know if any of the words in that were too long or difficult for you.

The Oyster Card (for transport in London)

The Oyster Card is really good. I got mine over Christmas, and so have just been able to start using it. An incredibly convenient way to travel on the tube - No more standing in the queues fumbling for change or dealing with the grumpy bloke in the ticket office. There are downsides though...

The Mile End Genesis Cinema

What a great place! An excellent cinema, cheap, not crowded and it has a proper bar!! What more could you ask for? [Picture] [Info & What's On] [What's On] [History] [Directions] [More Info & Review]
