The Knights Of Gaerog
Chapter I: The Knights Of Gaerog
Once upon a time, long ago, there was a large and sprawling kingdom with a great number of citizens, spread across a country of rolling hills and open flatland: the kingdom of Academia. The kingdom of Academia, which had for a long time been untroubled by war or famine, dedicated … -
A Bad Slogan Put To Good Use
My apologies to those of you to whom this means nothing.
Things look better in the light of a new day. I suppose that means something on several levels.
Desktop wallpapers and high-quality versions of the image above are available here. [update: link very dead]
Thanks for listening. -

Paul Is The Most Fucking Random Person In The World
Paul M: fucking nutter. The most random person you're ever likely to meet. But you've got to love his sincerity.
This morning, I'm happily sat at my workstation, staring, as I do, at program code and pausing from time to time to check the RSS feeds of the usual crew, when the phone rings: Matt answers … -
Troma Night Makes International News
If you come to Troma Night tonight, I'll explain the above picture (click for a larger version). It's got something to do with this new account on the web site.
Fucking marvellous. -
Tsunami Relief Concert
On Saturday night, Claire and I went to the Tsunami Relief concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which was pretty fab. We arrived at about 3:15pm, just as things were starting to kick off - on one of the many park and ride services being operated especially for the event. The buses and their …

A Merry Little Christmas
All in all, that was a fantastic little Christmas Day - less disasters, fights, fires or cats-eating-decorations than a typical Christmas with my family, but no less fun for it.
Our landlords, who run the cafe below our flat, were kind enough to lend us use of their kitchen over the festive period (mmm... catering-grade cooking … -
A Great Wedding Was Had By All
Bryn, Paul, Claire and I went to Kit and Fiona's wedding this weekend. Despite the hideously long drive (almost 11 hours, with driver/navigator pairs driving and sleeping in shifts in order to maintain progress) throughout Friday night - and the equally long journey back on Sunday, it was a most fantastic and memorable experience.
The event … -
One Thousand, Two Thousand, Three Thousand… Check Canopy!
Wow: a most memorable weekend. As you'll remember, I spent the last weekend on a crash-course in parachuting in Lancashire. Having spent plenty of time in light aircraft or coasting around in a paraglider, I thought I had it sized: but it turned out to be even more spectacular (and scary) than I could have …

Letters After My Name
Results day today, and so I finally get to find out whether or not I get a degree in exchange for my last five years at University. And I do. I'm now entitled to put letters after my name, which is nice.
I've got a lower second, which is (I know) less than I'm capable of, … -
Back From Malawi
Yay! I'm back in Aberystwyth!
For my next task, I'm going to have to sift through over 7 hours of video footage of my trip, to produce DVDs for the consumption of the cycling team. Which is nice.
It feels good to be back in Aber (it feels good not to be eating nsima!). To give me … -
Off To Malawi!
I'm off to Malawi!
I've found my bus ticket (stupid train strikes), my passport (stupid immigration laws), my juggling balls (stupid... no, wait... juggling is good)... I guess I'm ready to go.
Contrary to my assumption that my bus would be leaving from the bus station, it's apparently leaving from Plascrug... which is... somewhere... hmm...
Anyway, y'all, take …
