Hell Is Other People

  By

I nearly cracked the sads and left work mid-afternoon today. I was doing my usual ‘extremely polite email responses to complete idiocy’ trick, where the more annoyed I am, the more polite and urbane the language I use in email. I get quite formal, in fact. I have single-handedly made… Read More

Wedding Photos

  By

I’ve uploaded the photos from Tim and Bevan’s weddings at long last. Some ok shots, some not so ok, but overall not too bad for someone who needs a lot more practice. In processing them, I’ve started using a new program called Digikam, which is for KDE under linux. I… Read More

We Will Remember Them

Today is Rememberance Day. I know a few people who’ve served in Vietnam, Korea and similar places. My grandfather worked in the Airforce as a mechanic during WWII. I have heard many a tale of bravery, camaraderie and shenanigans when on leave. The stories I’ve been told have almost exclusively… Read More

Huzzah! My freshly minted The Complete Calvin & Hobbes arrived yesterday. Three heavy, lovingly bound volumes of comic goodness. Excellent! There’s a foreword by Bill Watterson that explains some of the history of how the comic came to be, some if its trials and tribulations through the years, and how… Read More

Tabulate This

This is a rant about people who don’t know how to create easy to use document templates and forms. These people make my life difficult, and must be punished.There is a certain class of individual in the business world who spend their days creating new and interesting ways to write… Read More

Nice Rack!

  By

I now have a 19 inch rack in my study. Hooray!My mate Bevan is getting his house renovated and no longer needed the rack, since he’s building a custom computer cupboard as part of the construction work. I’m also going to be hosting the corporate web/email/etc server that was at… Read More

Serenity

  By

I saw the movie Serenity earlier this week. It was awesome, and I immediately ran out and bought the TV series on DVD.I went with Dani, who’d already seen it, as had most of my friends. I’m not bitter, no not at all. ;) It was incredibly awesome and I… Read More
