Still headachey. Is this what abstinence does for you?
The looks of disproportionate gratitude on the faces of people who have run for a bus and just made it
I’ve been Not Drinking for a month or so now… but don’t particularly feel any better for it. At least I’m saving money.
Post-it Notes that you have to secure with sellotape… kind of defeats the object, doesn’t it?
I used to back up from hard disk to shiny disc to save space. Now I’m copying everything back to hard disk as its more capacious & reliable
Trying to get files off a 3 year old DVD-R. Computers spit it out, claim it’s blank or tantalizingly mount it properly for a few seconds…
At a loss on Sunday, I photoshopped myself into this picture: http://ping.fm/JVf4W
Man sitting next to me on the bus is reading a scientific paper with loads of complex equations about spacetime. I feel stupid…
Still being stalked by a remarkably persistent headache.
Still under the weather but in work anyway…
Bah! Seem to have become ill for the weekend. Typical.
The recent weather has been quite sensible - rain at night then clear up for the morning. I approve.
Predictive Texting Priorities #4 It’s never heard of “sinus”, offering “shots” instead
Predictive Texting Priorities #3: Rather than “ache” it gives me the far less likely “acid”… Again!
The spam filter on my home email suddenly seems to have stepped up the vigilance for no very good reason and I am now losing non-spam to it.
Leaving for work early doesn’t do as much good as you’d think - less buses, more traffic. You leave 30m early & arrive 10m early.
There’s no such area as “The North Lanes” in Brighton. It’s either “The Lanes” or “North Laine” any similarity is coincidental & unfortunate
Just seen Grandma Walton’s dppelganger on the bus
Found CSS Masterclass today quite inspirational - I just hope I get the time to experiment with some of the things I learnt.
And they said that there was no such thing as a free lunch…
Spending all day in a CSS Masterclass (this is the coffee break).
Something like this: http://ping.fm/USPEb
Battlestar Galactica S4.5 opener - anyone else think of Reggie Perrin towards the end?
In the middle of a haircut.
Kept up half the night with stomach cramps :(
higher fares seem to have put bus drivers in a bad mood…
Some people on buses have no sense of personal space!
Predictive Texting Priorities #2: It’s never heard of “bagel” and instead offers me “acid”
Trying to think up the blurb for the back of my novel. It’s uphill work.
Just finished writing my creative intervention. Exhausted.
Marching down the middle of Western Road
Just seen a fox crossing the road on campus
Last night I left a trail of pine needles all the way from my front door to the tree recycling point in Brunswick Square…
Inexplicably depressed about the state of space exploration. We should be on Mars by now! As a kid I believed this: http://icanhaz.com/mem
Coming up for 5 years since we released http://icanhaz.com/kme . Surprised I still have loads; I thought there were more Toyah fans around!
I don’t know about underwhelming - the end of DRM in iTunes is good news! http://ping.fm/gh21g
One day people will remember to empty their browser caches before complaining that something hasn’t been done…
Clearing out old VHS tapes I found this which I Youtubed: http://ping.fm/1nHZG Oh dear…
Brighton and Hove Buses beggar belief by putting fares up AGAIN …
Feeling sad as night is falling on my time off work.
Predictive Texting Priorities #1: “Nun” comes up before “Mum”
I keep dreaming about the sea overflowing - subconscious worries about global warming or having the beach at the end of my street?
When I was thirteen I wrote a story about the first manned Mars mission. It was set in 2009… What happened to the space programme! :(
