Ok, I’m not sure why I decided to do this, other than that Moose ambushed me with it late at night when I had spent most of the day writing a chapter entitled ‘The Theories Behind Electronic Publication’ . *1*
Racing Frogs.
Yes, you heard me, Racing Frogs. You create a frog, feed it, [...]

As mentioned in my previous post, the Sunday Roast is getting a new format.
Each Sunday, I will post a link to the appropriate del.icio.us page. You can then browse through the links at your hearts content. You can also subscribe to the sundayroast RSS feed (linked to in the sidebar), which will [...]

I have been playing around with some new toys in the past few days, the first being Kaboodle. It’s a kind of bookmarking/comparison site designed to make it easy to compare things from lots of different webpages in one place. Read the blub, have a play, see what you think. I have [...]

I think I have mentioned once or twice my appauling record when it comes to keeping plants alive. tSPFKAG , the Chives and two of the Basils still going in strong, which does surprise me. The Basils might be explained by now being in a monster pot with lots of other basils [...]

(I meant to blog this weeks ago, but hadn’t got around to it what with work, no network, being lazy, an all. So cast your minds back a few weeks to when I went back to the Homestead to pick up the Sofa *1*. This is the tale of part of that [...]

Power to the people!
A little while back I blogged about how the RSS feed for the New York Times movie reviews lacked a title telling you what the movie being reviewed was.
And what to I get greeted with when I open up Vienna this morning? RSS feeds from the NYT with the [...]

Oooch (as certain Scottish relatives would say) I have been neglecting you something wrotten lately, haven’t I? Leaving you without even the comfort of the Sunday Roast. I was all set and then… didn’t get around to it.
Before I leave you alone with the best of the rest, I would just like [...]

Why has Saturday become the default day to do DIY? *1*
Damnit!
Don’t they know I have a thesis to write!
Grrr.
So inconsiderate.
Evil neighbours drilling something.
Noisily.
Right outside my window.
Grrrrrrr.

Endnotes:
*1*I know why this is the case. The question was rhetorical. Grrr.Back
*2*Yes, I am in a bad mood this morning.

It’s been a month since we moved into Meadow Towers and with every passing day it feels more and more like ‘home’. I hadn’t realised quite how settled I felt here till the other week, when I came back from the hospital, and just felt… at home. That’s the only way I [...]

i can’t understand it. i can’t even understand the people who can understand it

Hola! Buen dia.
I know things have been quiet on the blog-front lately. Sorry. This isn’t going to be changing any time soon either, I don’t think. The will to blog has just temporarily left me. But I couldn’t leave you all with nothing to read, so here’s the traditional. Happy Sunday morning [...]
