Selling the XBox 360
As twitter is somewhat limited in characters for explaining things, I thought it worth typing this up in a slightly longer form, so interested people can see what’s what.

Yup, I said it. Let’s ignore the fact that when you go the toilet on a train, it still flushes onto the tracks (wait, are there still any trains which flush onto the tracks?), and welcome the future. There’s a saying, that goes something like “whatever is invented before you’re 18 has alway been there, [...]
…or “why I sometimes get to close a ticket with the minimum of work.” At work, we have a ticket system. This is a good thing. It allows different people to pick up a task, and (in theory), there doesn’t have to be a lengthy handover. All relevant information is in the ticket. It also [...]
A comment on a mailing list I’m on about a measure of non-ruralness being that Dominos delivers there got me thinking. I live in E1, which is pretty damn central in London, and yet I can’t get a delivery from Dominos. I’m stuck in ADSL land (ADSL2+ is available, but it’s not worth having as [...]
Last week a colleague spotted that Amazon is selling a TP-Link 150Mbps wireless-n access point for a penny shy of £15. A quick look at the description, and I saw that they can be used as a client, which made it worth a shot to replace my homeplug, which works, but is pegged down at [...]

Not only have I now moved my List O’Crap tumblr from tumblr.matstace.me.uk to listocrap.matstace.me.uk (whilst also making sure that any old permalinks to individual posts still work, thank you nginx for making that easy), but I also got bored with having a plain old list of links for my homepage, and did some amazing artworks [...]
Unfortunately not my living room, although $deity only knows I need to. Nope, over the last few days I’ve been having a bit of a tweak around and tidy up of my online presence, and have actually started using one of my accounts somewhere again. I’ve started on a re-do of my homepage, basing it [...]
That ended quickly then. My self-set challenge to blog every day for November lasted a whole three days. I think I may have fallen down by doing the post for the third on the second, and setting it to publish a day later, while I was out. I thought I was being clever, but I [...]
