    Quite literally. Frustrated by my attempts to find the One True Newsreader for Mac OSX (MacSOUP is close, but doesn’t follow the Aqua guidelines (and is missing a few minor functionality thingies)) I have embarked on a quest to write one. So far, it’s completely...

    Blair Castle – well, why not

    We’re planning our hols. We’re hoping to get a week at Blair Castle (Perthshire – just over the forth road bridge, past Pitclochry). There’s a very nice campsite there and the Highlands really are lovely in summertime. A week somewhere across the channel would be...

    Crikey! It’s a Big Blue Curvy Thing!

    I’ve spent much of today at my desk, which is always a good thing. Across from my desk is the titular Big Blue Curvy Thing. It’s a wall, about thirty feet across and fifteen feet high, which curves concavely away from me. It’s blue. If...

    Cor blimey, guvnor!

    I’ve been doing a spot of rearranging of nelefa.org and it’s uploading as we speak. It’s snowing pretty heavily here, on and off. It’s a bit wierd. Other than being utterly up to my eyes in it at work, there’s been very little actually going...

    Tra la la

    And so another week begins. Was through in Glasgow at the weekend. Godawful miserable place, that. It always rains for some reason. I’ve also started the laborious process of migrating Miserable Bastard to Black Cat Networks. Well, I’ve set up a .co.uk domain for it...
