When I was in school, approx. aged 14, I read a book.
No, you sarcastic buggers, that wasn’t the last time I read a book, before you suggest it.
It was a book about these people who’d developed a way of going back in time; some sort of giant tunnel that they could drive [...]

Hi-dee-ho!
No thanks to the 150 or so spam messages in my inbox, here I am, online at last. Apparently I pissed someone off enough for them to want to sign my e-mail address up to 100+ newsletters. I’m guessing they didn’t count on the fact that in 3 clicks, I could run a [...]

Karl mentioned to me that Transport Tycoon Deluxe was available to download on Abandonia, so I hooked myself up with the download and expanded it with the free, open source OpenTTD (a fantastic project).
Transport Tycoon is one of those games that I’ve heard a lot about but never actually played before. However, given my love [...]

You know you’re officially insane when you find yourself wandering around the garden in your slippers, clutching eggshells and a bag of cheap porridge oats, all the while screeching “I’ll get you, ya buggers”.

After the piss-pouring rain put a damper on my pottering about in the garden, I decided to do a spot of baking. I don’t have much in the way of ingredients so I made scones, which are about the simplest thing you can bake. I found the original recipe in the Vegetarian Student Cookbook — [...]

I have quite a lot to say about my experiments with food and gardening of late but I’m a little concerned about scaring off the majority of you who’re here to read the geeky bits. As I don’t have the time to start and maintain a separate blog it’s a case of “tough titty”: you [...]

I realised last week that I’d not updated you all since my post from March where I contemplated doing a spot of gardening. Well, t’was not long after that I turned my bathroom into a makeshift greenhouse for a variety of seedlings, etc. I have still got the outside plastic one, but find that if [...]

I’ve just got online — it’s 7:30pm — after having spent most of the afternoon in garden centre type places looking for plants for my front garden. It’s north-facing so shadowy and damp most of the time, which presented a bit of a problem (I’ve brought back some Fuschia).
Anyway, upon opening my inbox I find [...]

I decided — a spur of the moment thing — to do some baking today. It’s been a while, but after raiding my Mum’s for baking tins and a reminder about ingredient quantities I set to it.
The cake itself is based on a traditional British pound cake, so named because it was originally created [...]

I bought Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the Nintendo DS on Friday and while it’s quite cute, I’m stuck already. I’m on episode I, part 4 and just seem to be going round and round in circles. I would google for the solution, but I hate “giving up” when the game has barely started [...]
