The Energy Crisis
Statto's written a piece on solar energy and the energy crisis in general. I almost commented on it, but then I decided I had enough to say to justify my own blog entry. As I see it, here's the plan to cope with Earth's immediate energy needs:
Use existing nuclear facilities - possibly new … -
Naruto Night Tonight
Let's have one. Yeah.

Hackers And Communists Attack USA Using Linux
Shelley the Republican writes about what she's learned about Linux. Not excessively geeky. Well worth reading, just for the WTF-value!

Strangest Bug Report. Ever.
I'm currently working on a volunteer-run programming project and I just received a very unusual bug report from one of the test team. Not to bore you; but the project allows multiple users to log on to a web-based system and manage various details about themselves - their name, date of birth, gender, etc. - …

Geek Night
Geek Night is on as usual tonight, apparently, although I'm unlikely to get involved in more than one game of anything as I've got code to do.
But hey; it's interesting code. -

The Saga Of Initial City-Link
A few weeks ago I ordered a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse. It's a nice mouse - chunky for my big hands, laser rather than LED for significantly higher resolution, wireless because it's fun (but using a frequency that makes it as responsive as any other USB mouse), charges in a cradle. It's even got a …

River Bugging
On Thursday afternoon, Claire and I went river bugging in Scotland. I can't even find a Wikipedia article on it, it's so little-known as an activity, but apparently it's gaining popularity in New Zealand (presumably a direct result of access to white water rapids and a suitable level of insanity amongst the general population).
The activity … -
Another Troma Night At Adam’s, Perhaps?
Looks like those folks in Aber will have to have this week's Troma Night at Adam's place again: Claire and I won't be back at The Place in time for it. In other news: we're back in England from our trip to Scotland, but not in Wales yet. Updates (and piccies) to follow. You have …

Le Grande Tour
Firstly; thanks to everybody who tested my kitten-based authentication system yesterday. It seems to be working quite well.
Claire and I are undergoing a grand tour of the United Kingdom this coming week, as follows:
This afternoon, we're driving (in Claire's car) to Cardiff. Coincidentally, Gareth, who was visiting us this weekend to help me … -
Good Friday
Yes, I'm at work. On Good Friday. People keep asking me why I'm here, despite the fact that I don't have to be, so I thought I'd try to explain myself:
It doesn't really matter whether I have to be here or not; I'm here by choice anyway. I'm off next week to do various sports … -
An Update From Gareth
We've not seen so much of Not-Gay Gareth of late. He's sent me an e-mail to let me know why this is, and he's allowed me to share it with you all, so anybody who cares can see quite how busy he is:
AAAARGH!!!! I feel I should owe everyone an email to explain exactly … -
Sundeep Versus Blogging
By the way: everybody did notice that Sundeep deleted her blog, right?
I mean, deleted it entirely. Not just made the whole thing "private" (so much as such a thing exists) or even, presumabley, backed it up (although I can't confirm that for sure) : actually just wiped the whole thing.
Funny girl. -
Murder Mystery Night 2
Last night, Ruth ran the second of her murder mystery nights, which was cool. It didn't work as fluidly as the first - partially owing to, in my opinion, a less well-conceived pack, and partially because it turned out that Paul's character, who's gender Ruth had changed to facilitate the number of people available, was …
