Showing Some Pride
Dan, Paul, and Ruth take part in Oxford Pride, and Dan and Paul are caught at the parade by a reporter and photographer for the Oxford Mail.

On This Day In 2003
Today is the ninth birthday of Dan's blog on scatmania.org. Okay, okay, so he's actually been blogging in some form or another for almost four years longer than this, but it's still cool, however you look at it.

I went to an REM concert
Dan makes a bad joke based on REM lyrics, but with a morsel of truth within.

Abnib Lives On
After receiving complaints, Dan goes back on his decision to let Abnib die, and revitalises it with a new lease on life as Abnib 7.0, for the benefit of those half-dozen people who still for some reason regularly use it.

The Death of Abnib
Next month, Abnib will die. If you're still using it, you really ought to read and pay attention to this blog post, to make sure that you continue to get blog updates from people in its absence.

Idiocy Repeats Itself
Dan rushes down three flights of stairs to the meeting room where there's free food left over, slips on the stairs, and... hang on: haven't we seen this blog post before, back in 2009?

In the aftermath of this week's shocking lunchquake, Dan is joined by Dr. Pepper, who surveys the damage.

Every Full Moon
How would you like to be billed? Every calendar month, every 30 days, every 4 weeks, or... every full moon. Seriously: this is an option?
-
Who's Your Daddy?
Days before he and the other Earthlings move out of Old Earth forever, Dan finally gets to have a conversation with his neighbour. And his poor mind is damaged forever by the experience. JTA's probably will be, too, when he reads this...

Leading By Example
After getting thoroughly confused by the new European Union directives on the use of cookies, which come into force later this month, Dan goes to the Information Commissioner's website to look for some guidance... only to discover that they don't meet the new requirements, either.

Poly and the Census - Part Three
Dan hears back - albeit only via somebody else's Freedom of Information Act request - to his concerns about the possible treatment of polyamorous households by the Office of National Statistics during this year's census. And he's not happy.
