    Instead Of Blogging...

    In a declaration of 'blog bankruptcy', Dan lists all of the topics that he'd hoped to have blogged about during the last (very busy!) month, and gets on with writing about other things. He's been busy!

    Thirty - Part One

    On his 30th birthday, the other Earthlings threw Dan a surprise party. Which wasn't much of a surprise, because one of the guests hadn't realised that it was supposed to be a secret and had let the cat out of the bag. Nonetheless, a great time was had by all, and the night wasn't entirely without its surprises...

  • On This Day In 1999

    Looking Back

    On this day in 1999 I sent out the fourth of my Cool Thing Of The Day To Do In Aberystwyth e-mails. I wasn't blogging at the time (although I did have a blog previously), but I felt that it would be nice to do something to help keep in touch with my friends and …

    Busy Weekends Part I

    The weekend before the weekend before last, Ruth, JTA and I went up to Preston, for:

    My Sister's Birthday


    My sister, Sarah, turned 21 at the start of this month, and we - accompanied by her friends and family - went out to a new Punjabi restaurant called East Z East. The food was fantastic (although in …

  • Dave!!! Highlights From Robin's Birthday

    Right now, I'm out in Oxfordshire for this a "code week" - a get-together for the purpose of hacking some code together - for the Three Rings project. That's got nothing to do with this post, but helps to offer a framing device by which I can explain why I was in such proximity to …

  • Pagan Wanderer Lu In HMV

    It's been a long time coming, but it had to happen sooner or later.

    Here's the announcement on the Pagan Wanderer Lu blog.

    In other news, I have so much blogging to catch up on, and a couple of posts half-written, but no free time. Sooo... par for the course then.

    Also: Happy Birthday, Claire!

  • Lots Of People Visit Aberystwyth

    Sloppy blogging, on my part, but I've been a busy boy lately and haven't had time to say a lot. On the other hand, I've been twittering a little (but don't worry, you'll never catch me telling the world what's on my sandwiches at lunchtime or what song I'm listening to right this second... unless, …

    My Last Month And A Bit

    So needless to say, I've been busy! The giveaway might have been that I haven't blogged much - here's a short summary of some of the things I've gotten up to:

    Fake Christmas



    Yeah, it really has been a while. So we had a "Fake Christmas": this year - well, last year, I suppose - many of …

    Pictures From The Weekend

    I couldn't (easily) post these pictures while out-and-about, so I thought I'd share them now:



    The tailbackon the M6. That's a serious amount of traffic at a complete standstill, and people million about on the carriageway. In the distance, in the first one, you can just about make out the tops of the emergency services vehicles, …

    Went out last night for curry and beer to celebrate Paul's birthday (yes, we're all well aware that Paul's birthday was almost a month ago, but this was the first chance we'd had to really get together and make an ocassion of it). It was great to get together with a handful of folks rarely …

    Quickly, Before They Turn The Glass Into Lesbians!

    So, what have I been up to this weekend, you ask. Well...
    "Cover The Mirrors" Launch Party
    On Friday I took the train up to Preston. The train I was on broke down at Machynlleth when they linked it up to the carriages that had come down the Pwllheli line, and the repairs set me …

    Sundeep’s Birthday and Snowdon

    Sundeep had decided that we were to celebrate her birthday by climbing Snowdon, so that's what we did. My legs are sore now, not least because I thought it would be wise to jog most of the way back down again.

    Here's the piccies. As before, if you read this on my blog rather than on …
