New Tune
5 June 2005, 7:13 pm
Wheeee! I’ve written a new tune! This is something I manage to do every two years or so, on average. So I’m quite pleased with myself at the moment. I’m also pleased because the idea I had for cooking the sausages I got yesterday (fried in a simple tomato sauce) turned out to be delicious. [...]

Lilypond

Yay! Lilypond works! I tried installing it a while ago, but there was something wrong and it didn’t work properly. Then last week the Arch texinfo package was updated, and it didn’t work at all. Today, however, a new lilypond package appeared in the repository, and now it all works just fine. Hurrah! Whether the [...]

Oxford Folk Festival
19 May 2005, 12:52 pm
Damn, I suck. It’s thursday and I still haven’t got around to posting about the weekend. So here goes: I spent last weekend at the second Oxford Folk Festival, which was very good indeed. Saw some very good acts (Those that I actually saw were Show Of Hands, Danú, Juan Martín & Quinteto Fabuloso, The [...]
Hastings

Hmm. I’ve been back for two days and I still haven’t posted about Hastings Jack-In-The-Green. Well, err, it was great as ever. Lots of good music and morris dancing. Excellent weather. A great weekend. Of course, it meant that I didn’t have time over the weekend to get my (already overdue) mini-project done, but never [...]

Cheltenham, East Anglia and railways

Right, well, Frank has demanded more posts, and so posts he will get. Anything to put off doing this blasted problem sheet. First up, Cheltenham Folk Festival, the weekend before last. Overall, the Festival was very enjoyable, especially the concerts featuring Bellowhead and Eliza Carthy & The Ratcatchers. Our gig, however, was crap. Jessica and [...]

Good Weekend
25 October 2004, 9:54 pm
Got back to So’ton last night, after an excellent weekend. I arrived in Oxford in the late afternoon, and visited the coffee merchant’s in the covered market. I now had some coffee (Guatemalan fair-trade), and so it was worth bringing my coffee maker and coffee jar back with me. Now I can wake myself up [...]
Off home
22 October 2004, 10:42 am
Off home in a few hours. Playing gigs with Jessica on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Hopefully I’ll also be able to get to the pub on Saturday evening to meet up with my friends who weren’t able to get here for my birthday last weekend. The gig on Saturday should be fairly undemanding; we’re just [...]
