another hangover!
just got back from london after a rather successful cards evening. it was just one of those lucky evenings. good to see all the guys again, drink a lot and generally arse about for a night. i’ve just spent an hour trying to sort out an internet banking problem which meant my credit card bill …
poker night
we are having a poker night in wimbledon tonight. we all used to work together (everyone has since left that company for one reason or another) but now live all round the south of england so these nights are a challenge to organise but always cracking fun. it’s got to the point now where the …

american scientist has this article about the past, present and future of hard disks and what will happen when we have 100+ terrabyte disks. i know it’s a stupid thing to say but, i don’t currently use all of my 100+ gb of disk space, so what will we be storing. the concensus at work …
entirely proportoinate
a guy at work sent me this:zdNet reports a new bill being passed in the uk this week which just about sums this government up. it will allow for people caught breaking copyrights (i.e. downloading mp3s, movies etc) to go to prison for 10 years. seems entirely reasonable compared to some rapists getting 3 years! …
progress
we have gone from a green square to a brown one in half a day. some progress i think you’ll agree? one of my neighbours cars got broken into last night so there were police cars round this morning, along with a lorry delivering the skip for my garden, all of the other builders on …
