News? Gadgets? World? Huh? Wha? I have been cut off from the world, playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I have finished it. Great game. If it was only about the single player, I’d be properly annoyed, as it’s quick. However, I want to play the multi-player, and do a lot better than I [...]
What. The. Fuck? Seriously, can anybody explain this story about a pregnant woman who was in the process of re-decorating her house being reported to social services by a policewoman. Is it honestly any wonder that when the subject of the police is raised, a lot of people have the opinion that they should leave [...]
AN early start this morning as a bunch of loons from work decided to meet up at the Cock Tavern, at Smithfields market, and meat up, with a hearty breakfast and a Guinness. I dodged the pint of the black stuff (yay antibiotics), but reinforced my position as fat lad by going for the “butchers [...]
Go to the guardian website, and read Andrew Motion’s Remembrance Day Poem.
Something out of the recent bunch of upgrades to Ubuntu, VirtualBox, iTunes, and the software running on my iPod Touch is a bad thing. A very bad thing. Ten to fifteen minutes to sync, and then after a few minutes, and anywhere between twenty and four hundred songs later, it hangs, and hangs, and then [...]
It’s Friday night, which means it’s the start of the weekend, which means it’s good mood time (despite the fact that these antibiotics mean I’m off alcohol, so not only was it a dry beer o’clock for me this evening at work, but Monday morning, when we convene on Smithfields market for our Guinness and [...]

Sorry, I’ll re-do that line. It lists all the things that you agreed to let Google know and track about you. For example, [...]
Long medium right. Ninety left. Hairpin left. Very long easy right. Maybe. If you’re of a certain age, and were lucky enough to have a few fifty pence pieces to spare, then you will know exactly what those previous four sentences refer to. You young whipper-snappers probably won’t know, but I will tell you anyway. [...]
Well this is a fun end to the evening. We went to the Bloomsbury Theatre earlier for Boffoonery, a night of geeky, nerdy comedy, sketches, stand up, and the like in support of Bletchley Park. Absolutely top night, and the line-up was awesome. Most people knew about Richard Herring, Robert Llewellyn, and Robin Ince, through [...]
Holy crap. It’s already the second of November. I swear I only just woke up in January thinking “holy crap, where did 2008 go?”. Today, Apple, apart from royally pissing me off with my iPod sitting and saying “verifying iPod” for about three days before syncing again (I can verify that it’s an iPod, now [...]
