I saw mince pies and Christmas cake in Tesco (supermarket) today. I don’t know whether to be giddy with excitement that Christmas isn’t far off or cynical about Christmas stock appearing on the shelves already. That said, at least I’ve not seen any snowmen Christmas decorations yet… Edit (20:46): Programs that try and sound good […]

I Must Be Strong
I am not usually one for doing those silly memes that you frequently see scattered across the likes of LiveJournal, but I couldn’t resist taking “The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test” after seeing others’ results. It was scarily accurate. These are my results: “You chose AY – your Enneagram type is EIGHT. ” How to […]
Splashing Out
I decided I should treat myself for getting a new job, and bought a pre-owned Nintendo DS today. It wasn’t a bad price, and the console is in reasonable condition (the case is a bit scuffed but the screens are top notch, which is what matters). I bought the New Super Mario Bros game which […]
Stepping Back
I have decided to take a step back from helping people out for a while. By that, I mean I won’t be answering half of the e-mails that come into my inbox daily — it’s getting to the point where the majority of my incoming mail is someone who can’t get their <table> to sit […]
Mail problems
I am having problems with my e-mail at the moment — people are getting mail I’ve sent twice, I’m receiving some mail twice (and some not at all) and the actual sending of mail is taking forever. I assume this is a temporary glitch and will be fixed ASAP, otherwise I’ll be in contact with […]
More Dentistry Work
I’ve been in so much pain I had to have an emergency dentist appointment earlier. Apparently, a deep filling in one of my teeth has caught/damaged the nerve-y stuff and I’ve got to have a root canal treatment done on July 24th. Just the thought of the words “root canal” makes me shudder, but apparently […]
Quick News
Some quick news, because I’m too lazy to blog properly: BellaBook passed 1000 downloads — since I started logging them — today. I started logging them at the end of May, that’s only a month and a bit! I decided against releasing the tutorial on modifying BellaBook into a fanlisting script, because it ended up […]
Note to Self re: Storms
Dear Jem, In case you forget sometime in the near future, please let this note serve as a reminder to you. It is not a good idea to go out in the piss-pouring rain in nothing but your pyjamas and a pair of flimsy flip-flops to watch the lightning. Not only are your flip-flops soaked, […]
A quote I live by..
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter Stolen from Lisa who stole it from someone’s LJ user info who apparently stole it from Dr. Seuss.
Dental Work
I had some dental work done this morning. Firstly, it meant I had to get up pre-dinner time (bastards), and secondly I ended up with several sharp objects rammed in my gob. Of course, it is my own fault for eating copious amounts of cappucino fudge bought from The Pink Sugar Mouse and not brushing […]
