Yesterdays BBQ rounded off a very pleasant weekend indeed. I managed to successfully mix both work colleges and the usual suspect without any incident*. Much meat was consumed, daiquiris quaffed, and conversation was had. Feedback has been so positive that all I need now is to come up with other excuses to have repeat the …
The house is tidied, the weather is fantastic, the food is brought, the beer is chilling, ice-cubes freezing and the patio set out. Time for a BBQ
This weekend has been a pleasant reminder of what public transport can be about. Friday I left (via a few pints with work) to Daz’s leaving do up in Radcliffe. An entertaining night was had by all with me solidifying my plans for visiting New York over Christmas and New Year. Having arranged for several …
The summer seems to have hit this week. The office is currently somewhere around sub-tropical due to the mix of old air conditioning and lots of power hungry PC’s. Hopefully the new air-con will be installed in the next few weeks before the weather changes its mind again. We had a baseline party last night. …

I did however keep going for the whole 10k without breaking into a walk half way round …
I went, I ran, I finished and kept going until the finish line. More later after the post run beers have worn off….

It appears after much analysis my problems stemmed from the backward compatibility to the old Linux Threads system (TLS). Once I specified nptlonly in my USE flags and rebuilt glibc everything worked fine. I now no longer need to …
Well its over. My overall conclusion, not as bad as I feared it could be. In fact I enjoyed the whole film although it was slightly marred by the poor dialog, especially some of the Yoda stuff. It seems they wrote the dialog and then just went around switching words to Yodarise it. The interaction …
I went to see Moby at the Apollo last night. I like the Apollo. It may be a little dirtier and out of the way than the MEN Arena but its also a lot more intimate as a venue. You get a good view from most places on the ground floor and the sound really …
