Kick the laptop
Went bed around 10pm despite it feeling wrong. Took some pummeling to make a skull shaped dent in the pillow. Woke like a light at 1. Looked at watch, saw 1pm, swore and jumped out of bed about kicking the laptop off it’s stool. Get shower going, flicking through clothes, unplugged phone, put back on [...]
The BBC. Biased. Again.
Scots ‘drink 46 bottles of vodka’ says the completely sensationalist BBC. I think the average bottle of vodka (750ml) contains 30 units (25ml / shot). The government want us to drink no more than 21 units a week but this number is completely made up, has no basis, is as useful as pretending that badgers [...]

OMG! Shocking!
I felt like I was treated very badly … It was very stressful. I had a terrible headache and felt quite ill. I nearly collapsed in the store and they had to call a First Aid helper for me.’ Bet you can’t guess what this is about. Link.
Nothing special
A day of no twitter, no adium, no skype and very limited email. Did I get more done? I did. Was it done better for having no distractions? It was. So will I do it again? Yep. Richard Hammond is coming to the village at the weekend. There are two industrial towers that need to [...]
What's been happening
I’m leaving asmallorange – been there ages – and moving all bar one site to Dreamhost (it stays at nearlyfreespeech). Just realised while sitting here in bed that instead of using their one-click installs I could use svn for all the blogs. 2.9 here and 2.8.3 elsewhere. Really easy upgrades then. Two sites left to [...]
Tiptoe theft
It’s 20:18 here and about 2 hours ago an alarm went off outside. Could have been a car alarm so I looked through the blinds briefly. Nothing. No cars, no people. Just after that P comes upstairs to tell me that the neighbour had been around and it had been his house alarm, that he [...]
Big black nails.
I have around 13 of the steel puzzles from http://tavernpuzzles.com. They have languished in a bag in the garage since we moved here as the decoration did not lend itself to their display. Now though we have a wall for them. They are pretty heavy though. So I’m pondering either 1. Hanging them individually by [...]
69105.net
I said there would not be another post and that I would come back and edit the link in – which I did a couple of days after that post. But I’ve had several emails now wondering where I am. Here: 69105.net (and now there really will be no more)
Facebook scam syndicate
I rarely check Facebook but now I have a reason. I want to see how many stupid people look at the above and decide to give this guy their money. Someone somewhere will figure this will increase their chances of winning. That same someone somewhere has jutting eyebrows and scabby knuckles. If I thought Facebook [...]
