Back In Aber
As expected, I had very little internet access over the Christmas period. And now I'm back in Aber. Mozilla reports 688 new e-mails. Joy.
Will say more when I can be arsed. I came back here from Lancashire via Merseyside and Norfolk. That's a fair journey by anyone's standards.

Out Of Place
Something feels out of place. Probably just the time of year, the amount of work I have to do, etc. The only good thing about working as long hours at work as I have been is the anticipation of how healthy my next paycheque ought to be. Which it'll need to be, because I'll be …

Worst 100 Films Of All Time
IMDB provide a list of the worst 100 films of all time, as rated by their visitors. I particularly enjoyed the fact that four of the Police Academy movies made it into the list. In other words, Police Acadamy films are responsible for 4% of the Worst 100 Films Ever. This shouldn't come as a …

A Most Unlikely Couple
It turns out that two people I know have become a couple, in what is perhaps the most unlikely relationship I could ever imagine. I'll not say who they are, here, but it's quite funny.
Claire: X and Y are toghether now.
Dan: X? And Y?
Claire: Yeh. That's what I thought.
Bryn: Hang on... X [surname]...
Claire: Yup.
Bryn: And … -
Warning: Extreme Geek Humour
Sat in Burger King...
Bryn: So many nice things come in .deb packages...
Dan: Yeh. Except for some nice things which still come in nasty RPM-shaped packages.
Bryn: I'm not even sure I have an RPM package manager installed.
Dan: I'm sure you can 'apt-get' one.
Oh; how we laughed. -
Can I Press Your Button?
In the news this week, a device that allows women to have an orgasm at the touch of a button, perhaps even by remote control... but the inventor is having difficulty finding volunteers for a trial.
I'm not sure which part of that sentence is wierdest. -
Windows Longhorn
Have... acquired a pre-pre-pre-release copy of Windows Longhorn, the new version of Windows that'll be coming out in 2004...2005...2006. Will post reports of my experience with it. But first I'll need to buy a spare hard drive...

Your Duty To Call In Sick
Apparently it's our duty to the British economy to call in sick whenever we feel like some time off. This web site, Anxiety Culture, is the inevitable result of a confused fusion of the directive, business-driven mind of a free market capitalist, and a plethora of "very 90's" confused and complicated morals. It's rather odd. …

Penbryn Residence
My new web site, Penbryn Residence (the sequel to the immensely popular Penbryn Hall web site I set up several years back) is now under development. And I've made a link to it here so that Google starts picking it up. <wink>
