The Wedding - Feedback
Ruth & JTA haven't gotten around to blogging about their wedding since it happened, yet, and I've so far failed to make available copies of many of the photographs I've been sent (although you can find a link to a few photos on this page) - although, in my defence, I've only just gotten the …

Murder At The Magic College
A week last Sunday - just a couple of day's after Paul's arrival - Earth hosted a housewarming event combined with our latest Murder Mystery, Murder at the Magic College. While we've had our fair share of Murder Mystery Nights before, this is only the third one I'd authored (after Murder in the Reign of …

On This Day In 2003
Looking Back
On this day in 2003 I wrote a short blog post about a very important event in the lives of two of my friends. This was the end of the week during which Fiona came down to visit us in Aberystwyth: the week where she first met Kit in person. And the week where … -
Busy Weekends Part III
As if we hadn't been busy enough the weekend before last and the one before that, there's more that I'm only just getting around to blogging! It was only when I thought about writing this up that I realised how much I'd neglected to write about already (and had promised people would be "coming soon"). …

Weddings and Secret Gardens
Ruth, JTA and I - later joined by Matt P - went to Jen & Nick's wedding over in Belfast this weekend, and it was awesome. They're an amazing couple and it was great to get to be part of their celebrations, to meet the fabulous folks they're related to, and to drink ourselves under …

Dan says goodbye to Aberystwyth and the people he leaves behind there.

Aberystwyth Escape Velocity
It's been said that Aberystwyth is like a black hole, and that once you're sucked into it, you can never leave. Sure, it's okay to fly-by, so long as you keep it at arms' reach for, say, three to five years... but if you get caught in the pull of the place, it becomes harder …

Roadworthy
This afternoon, I passed my driving test. This was my second attempt, and I pretty much kicked arse, scoring 2 minor faults (one for undue hesitiation as I pulled out from a roadworks stop on the way up Penglais Hill, and the second for insufficient use of mirrors at some point while moving out of …

Found GL3FWHCM PC-004 Not Quite The Thames Path
This checkin to GL3FWHCM PC-004 Not Quite The Thames Path reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Third cache in today's expedition. The trees and fence made the GPS signal spotty, but a quick walk up and down a few times got us a good fix on this beautiful little cache. …

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 …

Found GL3DVXT1 Idiom cat
This checkin to GL3DVXT1 Idiom cat reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The first time I saw this cache was the very first time I looked for it, weeks ago. I worked out exactly where it was, looked there, and stared right at it. I even thought to myself: "Wow, …
