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).

Relocation (and other things)
So I’ve been back in Witney for over 24 hours, and pretty much all I’ve unpacked is my computer and my paints. Everything else is all across the floor in cases and bags, so that I can hardly move in here. Where the hell am I going to put all this stuff? Aside from my [...]
Thinking too much about advertisments
I’m ranting about an ad seen on Farcebook again. Specifically, this one: Seeing this ad got me thinking. Why would I need a website to find hot girls around me? I could go over to the University, spend a few minutes wandering around campus, and have a good chance of spotting several. Hell, I could [...]
