Nightmare Before Halloween
Despite all the fun last night brought, the alcohol evidently went to my head somewhat and I had a particularly awful nightmare. I dreamt that, later this month (on the 29th, in fact), Claire dies of a terminal illness. I don't remember much of it; only that we were making preparations for Halloween when she …

Apathetic Journal Entry Generator
Generate apathetic journal entries automatically. This tool revolutionises blogging for those sad fucks who only uses their weblogs to say that they haven't done much and that they haven't had time to update, sorry (in case anybody's reading it). I mean, really - do you actually have nothing to write about?

Things That Have Been Happening
I've had a couple of moderately hectic days, and somehow haven't found time to tell you all about them yet. Let's see what I can remember:
The Tale Of Troma Night 50
Troma Night 50 was a success: a chance to re-watch some of the films that made Troma Night's 1 and 2 so... bizarre. And it … -
Primary School Permits “Conkers” Only With Protective Goggles
It's a funny old world. A primary school in Carlisle is insisting that pupils wear industrial safety goggles while playing conkers, in order that they don't end up with shards of horse chestnut in their eyes.

Optical Illusions
Barely blogworthy, but I found several particularly impressive optical illusions while browsing the web. Download them as a powerpoint presentation if you're bored at work or something.

Which “Labyrinth” Character Are You?
The "Which 'Labyrinth' Character are you?" quiz was at http://quizilla.com/users/highwaytokel/quizzes/%22Which%20'Labyrinth'%20Character%20are%20you%3F%22/, but has long-since died. -
Surprisingly Good Unsigned Artist
I'm actually impressed. My friend Andy's finally put some songs online, and he's really good (for one reason or another, I'd never heard anything of his before, and I'm much impressed - for some reason I'd come to the assumption that he'd be shit). Anyway - so long as you're willing to put up with …

Freshers’ Fayre
Freshers' Fayre was a success, as Kit reports. Although it must be said that he's probably right to be concerned that this may be the last year we're able to pull such a stunt. Which is a real shame. We worked really hard - harder than we ever do at the jobs from which we …

That Time Of Year Again
Well; it's that time of the year again... the time of year that I sell hot dogs and burgers to Freshers at the Freshers' Fayre [this time last year], alongside Kit, who's visiting for that purpose.
This year, I think we're better prepared materially - as in, we've made preparations for if it rains, we've got … -
A Llama In Every Home!
Just. Plain. Weird.

Fantasy Terrorist League
You know what's become quite popular among the masses since the take-off of the Internet? Fantasy leagues. Yes; that's right - those things previously reserved for pub regulars and geeky play-by-mail types. Now, the internet is full of Fantasy Sports Leagues, Fantasy Share Trading, and so on.
For those of you not in the know; when … -

Geeky Winnage With Bluetooth
Geeky winnage! This evening I wrote a pair of applications enabling me to use my new Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone as a remote control for WinDVD, the DVD playing software I use on my computer.
Not just a geeky project, this is fuelled by a genuine need: every Troma Night, when the pizza arrives, we end up …
