The Bridge to Terabithia
What an absolutely beautiful movie – right up to the point where it suddenly has the most miserable ending in movie history. I’m now thoroughly depressed. Bah.

It had to happen.
Well, it always does really. I generally class the honeymoon period of a new job as the period of time between walking through the door for the first time and the moment where I type vi munge.pl. So, that halcyon period of belief that every single person around me has clue has ended horribly. A
Blu-Tack is Stronger than Paint: Official!
I love it when bloggable things happen at work. Due to a bizarre experiment involving a wall, a whiteboard, all the blu-tack in the universe and an infeasibly large number of natural language programmers, systems bods, and developers, we’ve managed to prove exactly what it says in the title. Technically, I suppose, it wasn’t the
Nina Simone was round at ours last night.
Or that’s how it seemed. After what seems like an eternity of listening to music on mp3 players and laptops, we finally got our nice shiny hifi set up last night. Between the big chunky toroid transformers and the fairy-dust powered magical crossover in Linn speakers, we dragged Nina off the surface of the disc
Loadsa Stuff
Urm. Well, it’s been a bit busy of late. On the gaming front, I was playing Castlevania – Portrait of Ruin until I met a boss that killed me and set me back an hour. I was also playing Lost Magic, but then I met a boss who killed me and set me back an
The Killer Shrews

OpenPGP Key
I get so many requests for my OpenPGP key these days that I thought I may as well post it here to save people asking. You can download the transport armour version here. It’s also available on the main keyserver at http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/ under the key ID jmd at nelefa.org (but replace the at with an
Rhapsody – Live in Canada
I don’t, as a rule, blog about music because I listen to so much of it that I’d never get anything else done. This album, though, warrants an entry for its sheer ACENESS. I find that I get so used to bands being unable to match their over-produced studio efforts on the stage that I
Things We Say Then Wish We Hadn’t #1
“Polled I/O FTL. You’d think the interrupt had never been designed. Oh. That was really quite geeky, wasn’t it?” “Yes. Yes, it was.”
Our new back garden.
A bit pretty, isn’t it? This is a two minute walk from where we live. It’s impossible to describe how good it is to be able to just wander off and sit on the grass in the quiet – particularly as we’re living in a fairly built up area. The thing I particularly like is
