Snippets of thought
- I could get used to 4 day weeks. It still feels like Monday though. 4 days ago
- I keep looking at the sunshine and thinking I really should be at work because it can't possibly be a bank holiday. 5 days ago
- I'm watching Arcade Fire's Reading set on iPlayer. It reminds me why I love their music. 5 days ago
- http://lexrecords.com/2010/04/unearthing/ sounds interesting. Part music, part audiobook. 6 days ago
- I think I really needed a day of doing not a lot. Although, my definition of not a lot might be quite odd. 6 days ago
- http://www.capturedtracks.com/ - there's a lot of beauty here, and it makes me feel like I'm back in 1986 1 week ago
- I'm wearing a jumper in August. Where did the summer go? 1 week ago
- Today has been a better day. In fact, take away the rain and today would have been a _good_ day. 1 week ago
- Have I really only been back at work 3 days? It seems like 3 weeks. 2 weeks ago
- I'm on a train heading for London. This is a good thing, although I can't believe my holiday will be over in 2 days. 2 weeks ago
- Today I have largely spent some time hacking my test instance of Wordpress to do interesting things. Fear my interesting life. 3 weeks ago
- http://unsuck-it.com is mostly amusing, but also actually quite useful. 3 weeks ago
- We managed to fill our skip in just over an hour. It would be nice if someone came to take it away at some point though. 3 weeks ago
- It's Steph's birthday today, and Argos bought her a skinned rat. So we now have bloodstained floorboards in the kitchen. 2010-08-07
- I'm now on holiday. Theoretically. In that I'm not at work until 17th August. 2010-08-06
- And finally we have a kitchen. No floor yet, but everything else is done. 2010-08-04
- Today there will be hot food, cold beer, and no painting. All of these things make me happy. 2010-07-31
- It's finally the weekend. This week has really dragged. 2010-07-30
- The kitchen is starting to take shape, but I think we're still about a week away from full functionality. 2010-07-29
- Inbox zero failed today. I have a feeling it might fail tomorrow as well. 2010-07-27
- Now we _really_ have no kitchen. 2010-07-26
- I may need to investigate remedies for removing paint from cats. I hope this will not be required, but fear it might be. 2010-07-25
- I've had two hours extra sleep and I'm still shattered. This does not bode well. 2010-07-24
- I'm glad this week is over with, although I don't forsee a relaxing weekend either. 2010-07-23
- This week is broken, can I have a new one please? 2010-07-21
- More wallpaper removed, and more floor tiles smashed. We may even be ready to start phase 2 on Monday. 2010-07-20
- After a chaotic start, today was actually ok. I'm sure the sunshine helps a lot with this. 2010-07-19
- Tame Impala might just be my musical discovery of the year so far. They paint pictures in my mind. 2010-07-18
- My new headphones should arrive tomorrow. That's still a day without music though. 2010-07-18
- Time to attack the kitchen again soon. It's oddly cathartic, although I don't particularly need catharsis today. 2010-07-17
- Summer might be back next week. This makes me happy. I'm less happy that I've killed yet another pair of headphones though. 2010-07-16
- Tonight I revamped my blog. User interface seems important right now. 2010-07-14
- I'm fed up of seeing the same stupid frog in our house. Three times today and counting. 2010-07-12
- After a shaky start, today has not been too bad. Now if only the rain would go away... 2010-07-12
- Yesterday was a long day, but ended with curry and beer so it can't all be bad. 2010-07-10
- After a rather excellent weekend I'm somewhat disappointed to be back at work today 2010-07-05
- Banana bread beer - it shouldn't work, but it does. 2010-06-30
- It's days like today that I'm so glad there is a fan on my desk at home. Now I just need one for work. 2010-06-27
- I have had a lot of sun today, but also a lot of stress. I think I now need a lot of beer. 2010-06-22
- Google calendar just emailed me to remind me it's my birthday tomorrow. I should probably turn that notification off. 2010-06-21

Introducing aaahh-records – home of free and charming music
I’ve just stumbled upon this net label, whilst trying to determine which year the Wind Whistles album was actually released in (the answer being 2007 and 2008 in different places). The label has so far only released three albums, but … Continue reading

I’ve written about Death by Panda before (around the time I was listening to “House Made of Glass” on repeat). Since then there have been three further albums, all of which explore an area of music that can be disconcerting, … Continue reading

WordPress 2.7
I wasn’t sure I needed to upgrade this website to WordPress 2.7 (the latest version of the blogging software which acts as a front-end for everything else here), but as I missed the last couple of releases I decided it … Continue reading

Ubuntu Customisation Kit
Ubuntu Customisation Kit is a great bit of software that allows Ubuntu disc images to be customised and then rebuilt. Uses I’ve found so far include: Making a totally up to date installation disc that can be used on multiple … Continue reading

Upgrading my EeePC to Mandriva 2009
It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally finished the upgrade. Everything seems to work, and my desktop now looks slightly different as a result:
