Speed Camera Clocks Motorist At 406mph
As this article [The Sun] shows, a man was caught speeding in Cheshire this week at 406mph.
Quite impressive, I thought, as he was driving a Peugeot 406, who's maximum speed is listed as being 129mph.
I suppose it stands to reason that we Brits, the nation who currently hold the land speed record of 766mph [CNN], … -
Post-Modernist Geography
Adam will no doubt correct me on this, but I didn't think there could be such a thing as 'Post-Modernist Geography' until I saw this young lady's page on it. Read the page.
It doesn't really help Adam's argument that Geography is a subject worthy of mention, does it? It makes it all fluffy and arty. … -
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).

Troma Night Website
I'm working (at long last) on updating the Troma Night website. Going OK so far, about a third of the way there. Am contemplating pulling a long, late night and seeing how much of it I can get done at once. Ideally I'll have it all sorted for next Troma Night, on Saturday - including …

Only When I Sleep
I remember fragments of a dream from last night:
I was back with Reb (the ex- I complain about); we were living together in a place in Aber. But I was secretly plotting to kill her so that I could escape with a pretty female train ticket inspector (entirely a figment of my imagination), who's name … -
It’s All Psychological, Or Why Men Buy Little Blue Pills
An article on the Register amused me this morning. Go read it.
In other (slightly more geeky) news, there's a plan to put a wireless internet point in every lamp post. It's a very clever idea. If the market's feeling healthy enough, it'll grant the conceivers some venture capitalists, and it'll go-ahead. Here's hoping. -

Could I be a happier bunny?
A belated birthday present from Claire arrived in the post this afternoon - a stack of Studio Ghibli movies on R2 DVD:
Mononoke-Hime (Princess Mononoke)
Sen To Chihiro No Kamikakushi (Spirited Away)
Mimi Wo Sumaseba (Whisper Of The Heart)
Majo No Takkyubin (Kiki's Delivery Service)

Bugger
I've just discovered that I have an assignment deadline tomorrow for an assessment I didn't realise I had, in my weakest module. Joy!
On the upside, I've just looked at the assessment and it's got very little to do with the module; in fact, it oughta be comparatively easy: still - 4-8 hours work I didn't … -
I Wanna Wake Up Where You Are
Watching a Goo Goo Dolls concert on VideoCD.
They're really quite remarkably good. I suppose you can't help but respect the artistry that goes into making a song for which you need to re-tune your guitar such that five strings are tuned to the same note. I mean, can you see the conversation now? "Hey, Robby: … -
Happy Birthday To Me
Update (20th March 2012) - crosslink: I suspect that this post by Paul was relevant?
Well, I'm 23. Meh.
An array of cards and gifts, followed by a flurry of e-mails and phone calls to explain delayed gifts. I think I'll try again for my birthday, next week, when the Post Office become competent again (this is … -
Hacking Around With LiveJournal
If this all works to-plan, my recent changes to Scatmania will mean that every time I make a new entry, a link is posted to a journal on LiveJournal. This will allow my friends to monitor my blog from their 'friends lists', in AbNibs absence.

Claire's Dad Has Carpet Burns
Of all the things your life would not be complete without knowing, this has to appear way, way down the list.
Nonetheless, we should all point and laugh at Paul, Bryn, and Adam that this 60-something year-old man managed to score within a shorter time frame than they had. When you take everything into account, this … -
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.
