I like my new kitchen knives. I particularly like the way they “zing” when you run them over the steel. Its a much crisper more musical sound to the dull grind you get from my old Asda set. Now all I need to do is some more cooking.

Christmas + One
Today?s activities have been pretty muted. The main event was my annual catch up with John (zandev) in which we exceeded the daily geeky conversion quota by a fair margin. This is probably not much of a surprise to either of us considering our history. That was followed up by Minority Report which is yet [...]
Re-living the youth I never had
Last night I headed down to the Rose for the now seemingly traditional Christmas Eve drinks. The revelation that I have been drinking there for exactly half of my life so far was only slightly sobering. We then headed down to the old stomping ground of ?The Rec? to ?hang out? before returning to our [...]
Loafing Up a Gear
I am now fully ensconced in the bosom of my family. This means my loafing has extended from a moderately active activity to a full passive mode where my parents feed me and provide seemingly limitless beer. Today?s main activity was having lunch at the local Chinese restaurant with an old friend of my parents [...]
You don?t have to play every hand, apparently
I finally made it through the traffic to Nottingham in time for my brothers weekly card game. I did quite well and even managed to be chip leader a couple of times. However by 2 in the morning I was starting to make mistakes and playing with rather weak hands. I now owe my brother [...]
Loaftastic

Saturday involved getting up before being fed pre-Christmas dinner until I nearly exploded. It was nice to see Katy and Chris who I don’t [...]
Hooray, Hooray, its a Holi-Holi-Day!
I finally got out of the office at 20:30 this evening after two false starts. I am now officially on holiday until the new year. This year has been fun but having deadlines just before Christmas sucks serious ass. Still I don’t have to think about it for 2 and half weeks
Hardcore Hacking!
I may of mentioned the joys of sys-admining a box while *ahem* under the influence. So now (00:32) I’ve just committed 17 lines of code changes into the company code base after a part share in 2 bottles of white wine. Hopefully work will still be there tomorrow.
FAO: Andy
It looks like we weren’t the only ones that found it very freaky.
Need to Know?
Well it seems we shall be given a “Narrative of Events” written by a civil servant to draw a line under the July 7th London Bombings. While I do believe an awful lot of money is wasted on needless public inquiries I don’t think this will be one of them. While it may be helpful [...]
