I wear glasses, pretty much full-time. I’ve got to thinking this week, why do my glasses at best simply get my sight up to a working level? Why can’t I have some bonus functionality built it? If I’m going to stick some metal and glass on my face, I should at least have a zoom [...]
A day mainly of meetings today. Good by the end of it though, did feel like we thrashed out what was needed, have something useful at the end of it.
I am considering the possibility at the moment of forcibly retiring from watching reality television unless I have to. I think this series of the Apprentice [...]
I’ve been going to the gym for about three weeks now. It’s unexpected, but I was talked into it by someone sort of, sort of talked myself into it too, and I’m enjoying it. It’s hard work. Very hard work for me. However I seem to be able to handle it, and to know just [...]
Fashion Guru
In: diary
23 Mar 2009I almost invented an entirely new way to wear a jacket today. I was pondering the whole history of jacket wearing, and realised that there had been no advances since the invention of wearing one just over the shoulders. “What if”, I thought, “you did that, but put your arms through the sleeves?”
It took me [...]
Racing Little Cars
5 Jan 2009Another day, another diversion. Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted a Scalextric layout set up in a loft. I was very kindly bought a set for my last birthday, so I’ve taken the first step towards this (the loft will have to come at a later date). This evening I was idly [...]

Back on the bus
In: diary
25 Nov 2008Don’t worry, I will tire of the marvel that is bus-based blogging soon. Well mentioning it at least.
Homewards now, thinking sweet bus-bound thoughts of pasta, of comfy chairs and of sweet sleep. Really fancy a good long sleep for a while, maybe a few days.
Starting to think about Christmas and next year now. We’re [...]
Museum and Rock
In: diary
24 Nov 2008Chilled weekend, had a walk into town, followed the city wall round a bit, and wandered through some of the more quiet streets to find our wafer to the Ashmolean museum. Looked around there, took a few photos:
Then on for a pint at the newly reopened Gloucester Arms, which was a bit barren as they’ve [...]

2 Nov 20081976 – Last race of the season. Wet race. Late tyre change. World championship won in the last few laps. British World Champion.
2008 – Last race of the season. Wet race. Late tyre change. World championship won in the last few corners. British World Champion.
Just a spectacular race, most exciting end to a season ever. [...]

Movember – Day 1
In: diary
1 Nov 2008Welcome to Movember! I, along with several colleagues at work, will be growing a Mo (moustache to the rest of us) during November in aid of the Prostate Cancer Charity. Today I am clean-shaven for the first time in nearly a decade.
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men’s health issues [...]
Chugging into the week
In: diary
7 Jan 2008Grinding day learning about and playing with my search engine at work. Starting to come together now. Also been trying out some new games and things on my mobile phone. Keeps me busy. Will play a bit of Phantasy Star Universe in a bit, seem to be getting the hang of the retail outlet I’m [...]
