“Is there a twenty pound note in this bag?” proclaimed the flash on the front of the crisp bag. Well, was there? I don’t care – what the flash should say is “Are there any fucking crisps in this bag?”, and the answer to that was “barely”. Oh the bag looks big and puffy and

Nelesoft’s first software release is on the cusp of completion. I reckon one late night caffiene-fuelled coding session will see it ready to go, bar testing. It’s quite exciting really. The development time has been a little, er, extended, but it’s come on leaps and bounds in the past few weeks. It’s my intention to

….to create a kind of gag which would simultaneously stop a child from yapping but still allow them to eat their tea. I’d be rich! Rich, I tell you!

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 database driven, and as a result blindingly fast. Yum.

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 nice too. We’re thinking France or Germany. I think I’d

We were up in Lhanbryde (near Elgin) at the weekend, visiting Debbie’s sister. It was a lovely drive – about 4 hours each way, right through the highlands of Scotland. Went to a shop to buy some juice while we were there and it was, well, strange. I noticed that they had rowies on the

The contents of the garage at the time of the fire arrived this morning. They are a tad dusty but then they have been in storage for six months! They were cleaned and checked. I guess it means that John and I need to find a home for everything so a garage sort out will

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 you have a Mac, you’d recognise it as Aqua blue.

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 on. The new job is very satisfying, if a little

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 while the .com transfers, but there we go. I’m feeling
