Open Mic Night
As I'd promised, I went along to the Ground Zero open mic night at The Angel tonight - and it was a most spectacular night. Matt was MC, and did a wonderful series of gags and skits to liven up the crowd and fill the gaps between the performers. Unusually, all the acts were of …

A Change Of Plan
Okay, contrary to what was advertised earlier, there won't be a Geek Night this week (unless Claire or somebody else wants to run one), as I'll be going to the open mic night at The Angel, where Matt'll be doing his stuff. If you were going to be coming to Geek Night but now (obviously) …

Open All Night

Guys, I really need your support here and I know that it's very last minute.
There's a comedy open mic night tomorrow in The Angel and, not only am I performing in one of the slots, I'm also the MC. This is a big thing for me so if you could all come … -
What’re You Doing This Week?

What Might Have Been
You've all seen nanofiction before (which must, of course, have no more than 55 words of text plus no more than 7 words of title in it), as is used in games like Chrononauts and some of the other Geek Night favourites, but I've only recently discovered the idea of a drabble - a work …

Wanted: One “Link”
Wanted: one competent video games player with free time on Saturday daytimes (and probably at other points during the week) to waste a couple of dozen hours over the next few weeks playing The Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures alongside me, Claire and JTA. We've come into possession of (or will have, very soon) …

LiveJournal Needs To Tighten Security
Hmm... as part of my ongoing work with Abnib v3.0, I've noticed a couple of interesting little quirks in the way that LiveJournal handles security for "friends only" and "private" posts. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've found a way to - for any given user - produce a list of the times, dates, and …

Abnib v3.0, First Release
Well, I've completed the first release of Abnib v3.0. It's not quite as full-featured as I'd have liked, yet, but a lot of the new "core" functionality is there. I hope you'll all agree that it's been worth the wait. And, if you're reading this on Abnib... Hello there!
So: what's new -
"Friends-Only" Support For LiveJournal … -
