Geek Night This Week Is Sunday

On account of Bryn being a pest, Geek Night this week will be on Sunday, not Friday. Would people who read this ensure that people like Binky and Fatty get told, ‘cos I’m not sure they read my blog. Thanks.

Troma Night

Apologies to those I “disappeared” on last night – I was feeling quite horribly unwell and went to bed.

Still, Amadeus was wonderful.

KnightmareWikiGame

My upcoming RockMonkey WikiGame is set to impress, I hope: I’m aiming for the most adventurous WikiGame ever created. There’s a screenshot available of the kind of thing I’ve got working so far. Probably a few weeks from completion, though.

Curry Tonight

The Usual Crew are having curry tonight at Cafe All Spice, 7pm (NOT the previously advertised time of 6:30pm). All welcome, BYOB. More details on request.

Exploding Toads

Umm… yeah…

Celebrations Are In Order!

Celebrations are in order! Paul says so!

To celebrate Sian (and others) having completed recent dissertations and other academically-significant projects, the usual crew are cordially invited for curry at Cafe All Spice at 6:15pm, followed by the Ship & Castle (there’s a beer festival on!).

My Footbone Hurts

I dropped a saxophone stand onto my foot this morning and I think I might have broken my little toe. I’ve not broken a bone before, but my foot feels exactly like people who’ve broken bones in their feet have said it feels: a dull pain in the affected area at all times, coupled by sudden, moderate-to-severe pain when pressure is applied. There’s no visible damage on the surface, but it’s giving me a decent limp.

Best Blonde Joke – Ever!

This is absolutely fantastic. Take a look.

Ricin In Wood Green… Well; Not Really…

The Register have got a well-written analysis of the people involved in the recent “ricin terror” case, with a look at how this relates to Al-Quaeda, ID cards, and politics. It’s worth reading.

This Year’s Election Manifestoes – A Summary

Courtesy of Private Eye, here’s a quick summary of the main points from the three big players’ manifestoes:

Labour
We’re not Conservative.

Conservative
We’re not Labour.

Liberal Democrats
We’re not Labour or Conservative.

DVI-VGA Adapter

Troma Night tonight could really do with a DVI-VGA adapter, like the one pictured to the right. I have two of them, somewhere. If you were part of the tidy-up squad and you remember seeing it, or if you have one that you can lend to me for the evening, it would be much appreciated.
