Snow chaos
By the time I left work tonight there was about one inch of snow on the ground, this brought with it absolute traffic chaos. The roads were gridlocked and I had to take fairly lengthy detours just to find roads … Continue reading

Moving
We’ve successfully moved office this week. Can’t say I’m overly impressed with the new office, but that’s partly due to the total lack of storage space at the moment so I’m living out of plastic crates. At least I only … Continue reading
Cold and windy
Yet another weekend where I wonder if the roof on my lean-to will last through the night. Must apply a cattle-prod to the builder who was meant to be giving me a quote to replace it. Still too bunged up … Continue reading
The sweet smell of victory

Yesterday I rode 35 miles, by the end of the day I had a bunged up head and cough, today it’s worse. Maybe I should have just stayed inside, drunk beer, and eaten junk food.

No more Pirate
Marco Pantani was found dead today in Italy. He was the last man to win Le Tour before Lance Armstrong started his dominating run of consecutive wins. Nothing else of interest happened this week really.

Another release, another name
Mozilla Firefox 0.8 has been released. If you’ve not come across Firefox before that’s because it used to be called Firebird, and before that it was Phoenix. Despite all the name changes it’s probably the best browser available for Windows.

Windy and wireless
Went for a ride this morning. Ended up cutting the ride short as it was so windy that I was getting blown halfway across the road everytime I passed a gap in the hedge. Ended up doing 12.25 miles in … Continue reading

Breasts cause "serious injury"
FreeBSD servers don’t cope too well when the load average hits 120 due to nfsd falling over on another machine. I think I’ve managed to beat it back into life now though. Getting to the point of this post, this … Continue reading

One step forward, two steps back
The local ITV news has been “improved”. As far as I can tell, the improvements are a new name, ITV West News instead of HTV News, and a corresponing new logo of three blue squares in a line followed by … Continue reading
