Milestones are important. I could give lots of reasons why, but I won’t. Just accept that they are, OK?
Which is why I was firstly all excited when I noticed that I’d posted 700 posts, and then a little narked when I noticed what the 700th post was. I mean, a cryptic throw-away post about [...]

Whoever said face your fears was a silly, silly person.
I’m facing a fear at the moment - that fear being my stomach churning fear of meeting new people. Added to that this evening I am going to have to face another fear of mine, that of walking into a venue (bar, restaurant, club etc) where [...]

What to say about this past week? Well, not a lot really. Work has been even crazier than usual. OK, so I do hate to be bored, but it’s reached a whole new level this past week and the stress levels have kinda plateaued somewhere in the foothills of the Himalayas. Beautiful scenery, but a [...]

Let me explain Flickr contacts and how I use them
When [...]

I’m not sure why, but the Sunday Roast has become almost a repository for all my research links lately. I think it’s time I resurrected my del.icio.us account! (Or tried Magnolia again - so pretty). For now though I’m just going to throw those weird social computing/archaeology/wiki/you-WHAT-now?! links that have caught my research eye into [...]

OK, so this isn’t the Sunday Roast, but I figured I’d at least let give you an explanation this time as to why you’re not getting what you’re all starting to rely on.
I have an exam tomorrow that I have to do some frantic last minute revision for. Yes, I could have done revision and/or [...]
