Reporting on progress
The gadget duly arrived, as did another hole in the wall. The Sky+ box has two satellite decoders so that you can watch one channel whilst recording another. What I didn’t realise is that to achieve this they simply run two cables from the satellite dish to your living room. Hence another hole in the …
The sofa never looked better
Our new gadget turns up tomorrow. Armed with the remote control and suitable quantities of comestibles I don’t see me leaving the couch until Monday morning when I have to go to work.

More Linkage
This diary still isn’t a linkfest like, say, Matthew Thomas but I just couldn’t resist pointing you, dear reader, at a couple of lovely web sites. First cab off the rank today comes to us courtesy of irc and is the wonderful bad writing at its best. I challenge you to use at least one …
