Ok, that’s enough fiddling for one night.
I’m not finished, but at least nothing should be fundamentally broken any more…
Must…sleep…
If you’re unfortunate enough to stumble across this site at this particular instant in time, you might experience random failures, see weird and worderful colours, and start seeing spiders crawling all over your computer…
If this happens I sugest that next time you do _not_ try the mystery food that has been wrapped in [...]
In no particular order
Tradespeople who don’t tell you anything other than “we’ll send someone round on Tuesday” when they talk to you on the phone, and then when the tradesperson turns up, they’re rude, take one look at things and point out something that needed to be done first that obviously you’re supposed to [...]
At my daughter’s school they use Powerpoint to call the roll.
I am deeply disturbed by that, for reasons that I simply cannot articulate, not even to myself. Maybe I’m just jealous.
Not of the fact that they’re using Powerpoint specifically, though that disturbs me for different reasons (Mostly to do with the fact [...]
While I was investigating the panoramic photo stitching program yesterday, I happened to notice that the photo album software they were using to show examples with looked rather promising.
I’ve been looking for decent web photo album software for a while, and I had given up on finding anythting that fitted my requirements. I [...]
Today I headed up Mount Rogers to take some photos.
I’ve been meaning to do that for a while, as the view from Mt. Rogers is probably more interesting than the one from Mt. Ainsley or Black Mountain – especially on a sunny day, as it looks out across Belconnen, with Black Mountain and [...]

Yesterday wasn’t outstanding – mostly due to spending some time doing some tangental research which I then abandoned as something to look at when I had the task in front of me done.
Today was fairly focused, probably about 80%, which [...]
That’s two productive days in a row, go me!
Though there’s a downside to it. After a day of actually working hard all day, I’m all stiff and sore and tired, and don’t feel like doing anything except maybe going to bed, or having a bath then going to bed.
But on the other [...]
I think Orkut is broken. I logged in for the first time in 24 hours, and only had 4 community wide messages waiting for me. None of which were repeats, and only one was in Portuguese.
Spent approximately 95% of my time at work working today. That’s got to be a record of some sort. [...]
Not much happening here at the moment.
George came, and went – kept me up all night yowling on Thursday night, but curled up on my bed and let me have a full 8 hours uninterrupted sleep on Friday night.
I spent most of yesterday looking at a webcomic I had come across – [...]
