  • On This Day In 2004

    Dan looks back to six years ago, when he and Paul argued about the usability of the Steam digital distribution platform.

  • Found GL4WVX47 The Circus

    This checkin to GL4WVX47 The Circus reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found it immediately by thinking "yeah, that's where I'd put the cache" and the co-ordinates were spot on. But I still had to be quite sneaky while my co-cacher provided cover in order to get this one.

  • Found GL4WVWZM Going Underground (not anymore) #2

    This checkin to GL4WVWZM Going Underground (not anymore) #2 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Paced up and down the street quite a few times before we found this beautifully-hidden cache. Then had to stand around looking like lost tourists while we waited for the area to clear so we โ€ฆ

  • Couldn't find GC1KKT8 Flonopoly Cache 12 - Piccadilly

    This checkin to GC1KKT8 Flonopoly Cache 12 - Piccadilly reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Co-ordinates seem to point to the wrong side of the street (based on the clue), but even armed with the clue and the logs of those people who eventually found it on their second or โ€ฆ

    The Wedding - Unanswered Questions

    Photos from Ruth & JTA's recent wedding, as a "teaser" to keep you on the edge of your seat until the bride and groom get around to actually announcing that the photos have been published, and where you can see them.

  • The Wedding - Feedback

    Ruth & JTA haven't gotten around to blogging about their wedding since it happened, yet, and I've so far failed to make available copies of many of the photographs I've been sent (although you can find a link to a few photos on this page) - although, in my defence, I've only just gotten the โ€ฆ

  • Productivity

    When we woke up this morning Oxford was caked with a blanket of snow, about two inches thick and growing fast. Ruth, JTA and I thought that we'd make the most of it and go for a walk along the Cherwell, and by the time we were heading back the snow was ankle-deep. Reaching the โ€ฆ

  • A Very Confused Courier

    I've just had a phone call from a very confused courier. My mother (who many years ago for reasons both too long and silly to go in to I nicknamed "Crusty Pasty") texted me last night to say that I was to be delivered an early Christmas present that would arrive today, and that she'd โ€ฆ
