Went out last night with Aq and his family. We went out to have a meal, but unfortunatly the evening was cut short when his daughter became sick. Sooz and I pass our best wishes on, and we hope she is feeling better soon. Oh, and happy birthday you great buffoon. I have released version [...]

Today I went into town and submitted my tax return. I never enjoy filling those damn things in, but they need to be done. All sorted out. Great to hear some interesting things from you comment-leavers. First of all, Senji, yep, I do need to fix the rendering of the site when I insert an [...]

Went to the quacks the other day and it turns out my specific problem at the moment in Bronchitis. Not nice. It looks like I will need some more anti-biotics, and the doctor has asked me to call if I need them. I called today and the surgery was shut! Typical. Last night we recorded [...]

I hate to sound predictable, but I am still not very well, and I am in fact, worse. On Wednesday, we were doing a seminar on LAMP, and I was set to do the main talk. I spent Tuesday at home working on the talk and I got up early on Wednesday to head over [...]

I am pleased to say that my little GNOME iRiver program became actually useful today, and it now detects an iRiver and displays it in the box: I now have enough information from HAL so I can easily write the main functionality in the program. Thanks must go out the HAL maintainer himself, David Zeuthen, [...]

In my life, I have been known to do some odd things in my sleep. When I was a kid I used to sleepwalk quite a bit, and I twice locked myself out of the house doing so. One particular time, I wandered outside and as soon as the door locked shut, I woke up. [...]
