I just reached 10,000 words in my disseration (the minimum word limit). Well, 10,003, actually. I’m having a celebratory can of drink and some nice, loud, Goo Goo Dolls.
Speaking of which, I’ve found a great internet radio station that plays all kinds of fab rock music – Radio Oiram, if you’re interested. It’s been keeping me amused while I’ve been hacking away at my diss’. Which is nice.
God, it’s good to be alive.
As The Register reports, a Plymouth child was kidnapped on Saturday by a public convenience. Go read the story.
…and so I recommend you take a break from whatever you’re doing and go play Crimson Room, an online flash puzzle game. Some infuriating bits, but if I can solve it, so can you.
Have fun.

I have heaps of work to do today. Then I’ve got to go home and get heaps of dissertation done.
There’s good news, however: our favourite among the folks who’ve been viewing the cafe under our flat has put a bid in. If everything goes well, he’ll buy it and we’ll still be able…

I’m about a quarter of the way through my dissertation. I have to have it finished, printed and bound by Monday morning.

BTW: does Bryn know about his page on AberWiki?

Umm – what is with these guys? Are they anti-abortion, or anti-TV-violence, or anti-technology, or anti-drugs, or anti-pornography, anti-sex-ed, or what?
And the title: “Unborn babies poisoned by rocket launches” [sic]???
Still, this painting is pretty good.
This is a disaster! According to The Cambrian News, the Ship & Castle has been closed down as a result of failing to pay it’s license fees. Now where am I supposed to waste money on good real ale and pickled eggs?
Will report further once I’ve had a chance to investigate with my own eyes.
I hate it when I have to re-write a document to prevent it from scaring people. I’ve needed to remove the words ‘hypnotise’, ‘malleable’, and ‘ordeal’ from a document before I’ve been allowed to publish it. Just because people don’t like thinking of things in terms of how much probing-within-your-head it involves…
My workmates and I are considering bunking off early for the long weekend. Here’s to Operation: Favourable Conspiracy!
Anyone with a pair of pliers can install Red Hat on a toaster or a motorcycle… it takes a real (sick) geek to install Linux on a dead badger.
Not the usual kind of story I link from my ‘blog, but this particular case is of interest because the girl in question is both the perpetrator and the victim, so to speak: she posted pictures of herself online, performing sexual acts. From what we can gather, she did this of her own free will and consent.
Read more on The Register. No word from the BBC yet.

A site well-worth reading.
We’re off on a picnic! Bryn, Claire, Paul and I are making sandwiches and we’re off up Pen Dinas to scoff them and watch the sunset. Which is nice.
It feels like springtime.
