So, election yesterday. If you didn’t vote, you suck (assuming you were eligible, obviously). If you voted BNP, you also suck (I thought Charlie Brooker’s recent column on the subject was rather good). What I don’t understand is why anyone would vote for UKIP or No2EU or whoever in this election. Okay so you don’t [...]

Farcebook and Naughty Chavs
I’ve been playing the ‘Rock Legends’ game on Farcebook recently. This game somehow manages the shameful combination of being both boring and addictive. However, I have forgiven it these faults on the grounds that it produced the following auto-generated band name: In other news, chav porn! Complete with David-Cameron-inspired title.
The Wire
Have you been watching The Wire on BBC2 the last couple of weeks? It’s on every weeknight (except tomorrow, presumably because it’s Good Friday) 23.20-00.20 (give or take five minutes). Because if you haven’t, you need to start. Go find a torrent and download and watch episodes 1-9. You have until Monday to catch up. [...]
Keyboard
Cleaned my keyboard this afternoon. This was long overdue, actually; the damn thing was filthy. It now startles me with its cleanness every time I look down at it. I must admit, even now it isn’t completely spotless, and several of the keys are stained and discoloured, which I don’t think there’s anything I can [...]
Beard growth experiment concluded
Back last summer, I decided that I would experiment with my facial hair. Every time previously I had increased the amount of hair I had on my face, it was an improvement. This was probably due to the fact that the more hair I grew, the more of my face was concealed, which could only [...]
Injury, Painting and Wave Serpents
On Wednesday night, I was cleaning up some models with a scalpel, and I got up to get some more from out of the box. I’m still not sure how, but somehow the scalpel slipped out of my hand and fell through the second toe of my right foot. I use the word ‘through’ quite [...]
Employment
Things are looking up on the job front. Firstly, I have an interview for a Lab Technician job with LGC Forensics on Tuesday. Secondly, Signal want me back on a permanent basis. The problem with the Lab tech job is that it’s in Culham, which is about two hours away by public transport. Plus, of [...]
Death
Not, of course, the death of any actual people, but rather of the PSU on my computer. It’s been on the way out for a while (the bearings on the fan are knackered, so that it would occasionally start making an infuriating rattling sound that would go on for a few hours before it sorted [...]
Worthy Cause
I just donated to the Atheist Bus Campaign. You probably should as well (unless you already have, of course).
Webstats
One of the nice things about having a proper web host rather than just using the webspace your ISP gives you is that it will often include handy features like letting you view statistics relating to your site. So yesterday I did just that. It was interesting stuff. So, here are the top 15 urls [...]
