On This Day In 2004
On this day in 2004 Claire and I hosted the eleventh ever Troma Night, a weekly event that became a central part of the social calendar of our friends for about six years. I've dug up some old photos, so I thought we might enjoy reminiscing about how young we all used to look.

On This Day In 2004
On this day in 2004, Dan finally handed in his dissertation on the subject of Three Rings.

On This Day in 2040
On this day in 2040, Dan built the Internet Time Portal, and - connecting backwards in time through the Internet - made this one-of-a-kind blog post. Wait, what?

On This Day In 2011
As part of the On This Day series, Dan looks back over the last year that he's been running FreeDeedPoll.org.uk, a service that makes it easy and painless for British citizens to change their name (and have that name legally-recognised)

On This Day In 1999
It's 12 years to the day since Dan first downloaded a copy of The Matrix, whose massive 1.4GB bulk ate up virtually all of his spare hard drive space. How quickly these things become obsolete.

On This Day In 2003
Today is the ninth birthday of Dan's blog on scatmania.org. Okay, okay, so he's actually been blogging in some form or another for almost four years longer than this, but it's still cool, however you look at it.

On This Day In 2009
Looking Back
On this day in 2009 I'd just announced that Claire and I had broken up after our seven year relationship. I attacked Virgil's omnia vincit amor (love conquers all), countering that our love for one another was not sufficient to prevent the difficulties we'd been having.

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 … -
