Murder... In Space!
Friday night was Murder... In Space!, our most recent murder mystery party. This is the second of our murder mystery nights that I've been the author of (the first one was Murder In The Reign Of Terror), and I took a lot of what I learned from the experience of writing and co-hosting of that …

Awesome murder mystery, props to Dan for writing and hosting. I'll post some photos when I'm more sober. It wasn't until I got home that I realised I'd probably been at the space cocktails a bit too much >_< Until next time Akiyama Toyohiro … -

SuperGenPass In MicroB On The Nokia N900/Maemo
In the unlikely event that I'm not the only person who uses SuperGenPass to manage my passwords and MicroB on Maemo on my Nokia N900, here's a few tips that I thought I'd share (they're also valid on the N800 and N810 and "hacker edition" N770s, too, I expect):
You don't have a Bookmarks … -

Late For The Altar
Yesterday, I didn't go to a wedding.
Act One - Not Going To A Wedding
The wedding was Andy and Siâns, of course, and they got married yesterday in Cardiff. Unfortunately, Ruth, JTA and I's plans to go down there were conspired against by the combined forces of all of the worst luck imaginable. Allow me to … -
Smell Of Gas
The other evening, I was woken (yes, I was asleep at 6pm, might blog about why that was on a later date) by a man from one of the energy companies trying to get me to consider changing my gas supply to them. I'm not keen on door-to-door sales at the best of times, which, …

Nokia N900
I've just got myself a new mobile phone, and I thought I'd spend a moment to gloat about some of it's more awesome features (and mutter under my breath about a few of the things that are less-fabulous about it).
