Memories

Lunchbox-a-le-le Augmented trampoline – playing with fire Porsche remember they make cars – though I’m somewhat disturbed that the three pictures on that page show such different cars, wonder which one they’re making? “You may think while reading this that it could be a “troll”, a humorous invention for the amusement of its author. It […]

Your light cone “Sweetheart or psycho? Can’t make your mind up if they’re too good to be true or a total nutter in sheep’s clothing? Stay Safe…” Tree house

And don’t you want to hear about how I am getting on

First week down and I’m still alive. Its been a close call thing with rather too much sitting on trains and rather too little sleeping. At least I’m getting some reading done. The job itself is going OK, I’m taking over from someone I worked with a long time back, which is cool ‘cos that […]

There is a Santa Claus

I think I’ve remembered how to fall in love. Totally inappropriate, as ever, but so so eloquently broken. Why aren’t the girls I meet like that? They’re just broken.

They’re mostly pictures from festivals, by looks of things […]

More freecycling

I found a few more games: – Settlers III – Populous, the begining – MegaPak (Carmageddon, ecstatica and apocalypse) – Theme hospital – Diablo – Sim City 2000 No boxes for the last three.

Freecycling – PC games mostly

…well, kind of, if no-one here wants these things they’ll go to the local freecycle group. I have the following games (all on CDs, most in original packaging) to give away: – Transport Tycoon – Bloodnet – Settlers II – Tycoon collection (Transport Tycoon Deluxe + Rollercoaster Tycoon, Railway Tycoon disk is missing) – Sim […]

Whole new meaning to “What platform are you running on?” Adjustable sauce MC Plus+ in da house

Wow, its taken me all evening to repair my CPAN setup to the point where I can bring it up to date. Howcome these things rot so badly so quickly – its only been a few months since I ran a days worth of updates on it….all I wanted to do was some simple proxy […]
