Why the wonder for celebritism?
So I arrived home after a busy but fruitful Sunday at work, and decided to flip on the TV for some background noise while I did a bit of light browsing to cool down and relax. Without paying any attention at all, I somehow found the E! Entertainment channel and a show about Ali Lohan’s [...]

Yes I have a sister, but I’m sure we are not related
So I woke up this morning and it was a bright and beautiful day, albeit the threat of rain later in the day was hanging over our heads, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me enjoy the warm weather that was just outside my window. Firstly though, as has been the routine for [...]

Ikea makes me feel middle aged
Today I found myself in Ikea again. My friend kindly offered to drive me there when I complained for the umpteenth time about not having a desk lamp that worked; not having a sharp bread knife; not having a sharp vegetable knife; and not having any more Ikea soap (the stuff that smells nice and [...]

Don’t call me a gamer nerd; a serious entry following my last entry.
Ironically, after writing my last post, I actually came across a couple of online news stories about World of Warcraft addicts; the type of person that spends 16 hours a day, every day, to the exclusion of all else, playing World of Warcraft.

Backups; life; and backing up life!
So this afternoon, after waking up at the very reasonable hour of 1.30pm, I decided that it was time to do something about backing up my babies. Those being my weblog posts across my numerous weblogs, and my websites, all of which I host at home, on a lovely little server that is something akin [...]

The analog life goes digital… and being slightly obssessive complusive
I’ve been obsessed the last few nights with trying to get my entire CD collection digitised. I don’t have that many discs, maybe somewhere around 160 I would say, perhaps 10 or 20 more. But they’ve been sitting in a dark closet for the last three years, waiting for a home on a bookshelf that [...]

Home again, home again, jiggity jig!
I arrived back from New York this morning at some ungodly hour that I haven't seen myself voluntarily for years. In some ways it was a dissapointment to be back so early, and in other ways I was glad to be home. New York was unlike anything I had really expected. I went there thinking [...]

Making little things count; and off to The Paranoid States of America
So I'm starting to learn the value in doing little things when you can, rather than trying to find time for a really big thing that you just can't find time for. See I've always been this sort of person who wants to be able to sit down and have an endless amount of time [...]

Inspiration through shitty TV
So here I was sitting in front of the TV looking for inspiration for tonights little masterpeice; hoping that some topic would fall from on high and get me started. My new employer graciously gave me a mac laptop with a wireless network connection, unshackling me from the confines of my little office, and giving [...]
