As I got off the tube to walk to my hotel this week, I passed a couple and their children buying Twix’s before getting the tube home. I think they’d probably been to the theater. I was staggering back form the office, it was 11 at night, and I realsed what a complete mess I [...]

Anoter musical moment just highlighted itself. As I work from home on some mind numing dull crap (yes – thank you Microsoft Sharepoint – you are broken my heart and soul), Frankly Mr Shankly by The Smiths came on Last.fm (station based on Pavement).

Edit: Completely forgot to add the link! It is here: Guantanamo Bay Manual diff’d Two copies of the Guantanamo Bay working manuals appear to have leaked out.

A little while ago I started running a mini-blog. The idea was to stop me posting single liners and make me concentrate on writing bigger and better through through posts (yeah, right), and also to let me continue to have somewhere to throw things for reading later (something I used to use the blog for [...]

The idea of releasing their software as installables (to your companies server) is very appealing for many, and there is a lot of money to be made. It has lots of advantages too [...]
There is a world of fuss about Gillian Gibbons, a teacher who’s class of children in Sudan named a teddy bear Muhammed, and was thus accused and charged with “insulting religion”.
