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

Interesting things from Mozilla Labs
I rave a fair bit about Ubiquity, but there are also a few other things from Mozilla labs that look promising. Last night I installed Weave on a couple of my computers, and am actually very impressed. Weave takes your … Continue reading
Sensible window sizes on Dell’s version of Ubuntu
I love my Dell Mini, but there are a couple of “features” added by Dell that drive me mad. One of these is called Maximus. It’s an application that tells any window that opens on the desktop to open full-screen. … Continue reading
The Art of Community
This looks interesting, and can be applied to all communities, not just those of a technical nature. I’ve read a few bits and pieces during pre-release and it makes a lot of sense.

Despite the fact that I don’t use Gmail as my primary point of contact, I do use most of Google’s other tools quite a lot. In particular, I’m a big fan of Google Calendar, Docs and Groups, and I use … Continue reading

Exploring Suse Studio
I’ve had an account on http://susestudio.com/ for a few weeks now, but have only really had a couple of chances to play with it. The basic idea behind the site is that anyone should be able to create a customised … Continue reading
Piping fortune into twidge
fortune | twidge update actually works as expected. Add cron to the mix, and you can automate random utterances to appear on twitter when you are away from your computer or otherwise engaged. More an amusement than anything useful, but … Continue reading
Musical discoveries of the weekend
Various freely available MP3s by Portugal. The Man – I’d not heard of this band until about 3 hours ago, but am actually quite taken with them now. It’s American indie with a strong side order of psychedelia, and I … Continue reading
Finding wifi on the move
During my recent trip to London, I decided that I’d try and stay online as much as possible, whilst at the same time not paying for (or in fact stealing) an internet connection. It was actually a lot easier than … Continue reading
Twidge
I’ve been after a command line based microblogging tool for ages. I think Twidge might be just what I need. The syntax to make a post is as follows: twidge update “whatever you want to post goes here” And before … Continue reading
