FYI
I’ve give up using the messengers from Yahoo and Microsoft. Mainly because I can’t use my favourite program anymore. I’m not going to run the company’s tools because I’m fed up with blanket pop-ups and annoying adverts. If you want to talk to me online, and who wouldn’t, I’m going open source and using Jabber. …
Your Duty
Ladies, Gentlemen and fellow geeks. Mr Scaryduck has put up part 1 of the "worst wailer in the world" survey. You know your duty, go here and show the world how much you dislike that Vegas dwelling alleged chanteuse. As ever with Scary’s web polls multiple votes are perfectly acceptable, in fact they are positively …
Moral Dilemma
We will file this one in the "Interesting Things You Didn’t Know You Needed to Know" pile. SWMBO took Number 1 son to the doctors yesterday for a check up and his first ever vaccinations. Amongst them was a jab to protect against polio. Whilst she was there the doctor gave SWMBO a booster, because …
Slightly Odd
Some friends are celebrating their wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks time. The schedule for the day goes something like this – trip to London, tube to Tower Bridge, stand on the embankment and look at the King of Poker-Faced Hokum, take the train home where the blushing bride will put on her wedding …
Another Week, More Musical Babbling
The worst musical act in the world fun continues apace at Scaryduck but I’ll stop talking about it here and just carry on leaving comments on his blog. Talking of which you, my dear readers, are slacking. Apart from the 70’s throwback (and Simon and Steve, steady on chaps) there is usually only a fine …
Bad, Bad, Music
Not content with unleashing a "worst movie in the world" poll on us, Scaryduck has now initiated a worst musical act in the world poll. I’m sure you will be reassured to know that I was straight in with my nomination for the wailing french bint. It would appear that I’m not alone in my …
Friday is Funday
To celebrate the end of the week, and because I’ve completely run out of things to say, I’d like you to join me in enjoying International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Of course, you can ironically support the cause by just acknowledging the day and not talking like a pirate but, perhaps, writing like one …
Very Quiet
Lest you think I’m not doing anything, I’m actually knee deep in a program to reverse engineer an Oracle schema. Meanwhile, and not totally coincidentally, I’m beginning to resemble Bob from Teachers. The most common phrase I’m mumbling as a wander around the office at the moment is “and the horse you rode in on.” …
Family Values
I had a hard "away day" today, Sitting in a hotel meeting room being filled in on the good old corporate vision. Afterwards we retired to a local hostelry for stick and ball related games and sponsored drinking. For the first time ever I was the first one to leave the pub. My motivations were …
