Fresh Ground Café
Hot on the heels of the news that the café below us is for sale, a new café has opened just across the road, where Serendipity (a restaurant I never got the chance to go to) used to be.
Fresh Ground Café can now be found at number 14 Cambrian Place. Claire thinks it's name is … -
Hello Shit; I’d Like You To Meet Fan… Fan, Shit…
Can't say too much on here, but I can't help but feel like I might need re-think my career options from this point. That is all.

Gents Toilets Mystery
The gents toilets on the first floor of the building where I work is a complete mystery to me.
That's not strictly true. I know where the stalls and the urinals are. I know how to make the taps - little push-button ones - work. I know that the hand dryer to the right typically warms … -
All Ready For NaNoWriMo
Well, here goes nothing.
Words written: 0 / target: 50000
As many of you already know, I'm participating this November in NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month contest. The aim is to write, from a standing start, 50,000 words in 30 days. So... about 1,700 words a day. There were days that my dissertation got … -

Dan and Alex
Dan and Alex now has it's own subdomain, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. Yeah, right. There's a new episode up, and you can even subscribe to the new RSS feed (or just pick it up on Abnib).
Expect to see more of Dan and Alex in the near future.

Genius Filmmaking
This is just a piece of genius filmmaking. 5 friends in Machynlleth made huge chipboard letters akin to the ones famously on the hills above Hollywood did so secretly, deploying the letters the night before Mach's weekend-long film festival started.
But better than that, they filmed themselves doing it and entered their short movie into the … -
Who’s My Daddy?
I've seen some pretty stupid test memes. So I've made one of my own:
Who's My Daddy?
Peter Huntley is my daddy.
Generated by the "Who's Your Daddy?" Test Meme
In other news, "Hook" by Blues Traveler (lyrics) is a spectacular song.
I have an unbelievable amount of work to … -
eBay Context Advertising
You've probably seen eBay's context-sensitive advertising on Google: you search for, say, "children's toys", and one of the Google ads on the right-hand side of the page tells you how you can buy and sell children's toys on eBay. I've always thought that this system was probably just waiting to be abused, so I had …
