It’s snowing! Again!
Apparently it’s going to get as low as -7ºC on Sunday. And some fool has a BBQ-on-the-beach planned.
Will post more when I find the motivation.

Lion Cut?
Work, Work, Work…
…but at least I made some progress today. Heaps of work done. Good stuff.
Plus, managed to squeeze in some research that I’ll need for later in the week.
And, better yet, my colleague Phill left his mobile at the office tonight, so I’ve reprogrammed his operator logo from it’s old one (the O2 logo) to a more fitting one (the word ‘codemonkey’). He’ll guess it was me. But who gives a shit, eh?
Hugz and kittenz, everybody;
Congratulations, Paul – It’s A Beautiful… Kitten
Wow. I’ve found an internet radio station dedicated entirely to remixes of C64 music. Go tune-in!
The Internet Is A World Of Ends
Got a spare quarter hour? I think you should go and read WorldOfEnds.com. It’s a fascinating and concise analysis of what is the nature of internet, and why why should stop making mistakes with it.
It’s not geeky – it’s philosophical.
Safer Internet Day
Today is European Safer Internet Day.
Does that mean that all those idiots who fell for the MyDoom virus (which, of course, required you to open a ZIP file inside the infected e-mail, the run the program inside it – yet still became the fastest-spreading e-mail virus to date) are going to actually plug their brains in for once.
If you got infected by MyDoom, shame on you for your stupidity.
Answer These With Song Titles…
Alec has a thing going on his blog where he’s challenging people to answer questions about themselves in terms of song titles. Go have a look, see my response, and have a go yourself, here.
Went to Booker Cash & Carry this afternoon, and bought just over 3kg of Sherbert Lemons and a little less of Dew Drops. Fun!
Burger King Love Us
A new-looking manager (young, with a shiny badge) is making Changes at the Burger King around the corner from us. From Monday, the entire restaurant will become No Smoking (yay!), and the old upstairs toilets – once closed owing to vandalism – have been re-opened. Claire and I were in there this evening, discussing our comparative days (mine at work, hers learning Japanese), and met the new-looking manager, who gave us vouchers each, redeemable for free meals there in future. Nice.
Dodge!
Go play this little DHTML game. Can you beat my ‘survival time’ of 24.593 seconds?
How To Make Piracy Legal; Nobody Loses; Everybody Gains
The Register brings a report about Harvard University Professor Terry Fisher’s plan to make piracy pay for itself. Not by making it yet more illegal, but by stopping it from being immoral. Go read the article. It’s great.
Make It Snow!
It’s snowing!!!
Windows For The Welsh
Just as Bryn is making progress with his translations of parts of Linux, Microsoft announce plans to release a Welsh edition on Windows XP [The Reg]. It’s a funny old world, isn’t it.
New Troma Night Website Up-And-Running
The new Troma Night website is now up and running. All existing Stars are requested to go and register for the new site to retain their Star status. And give suggestions for Saturday’s films while you’re there, using the new “What Shall We Watch?” feature.
And see you all Saturday!
Almost Finished The New Troma Night Website
Yes! Yes! Yes! I’m about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new Troma Night website (between bouts of revision). Should be ready within the next 12 hours. Fab.
If you’re a Troma Night person, go visit www.tromanight.co.uk tonight (Wednesday night).
