Yay! New Beth Orton album. Colour me chilled :)
In Flight
Hey, look at this. I can pre-date entries. I won’t actually be able to post a message on this date as I’ll be flying to San Diego to attend the Open Source Convention.
Progressive Rock
Anyone remember Marillion? I do. I was a big fan at one time. In fact back in the days when I was social secretary at The City University and before they were famous, I booked them.

Decriminalising Cannabis

This has met with varying degrees of success over recent years, but generally it’s been getting easier. This year I barely noticed it and when February… Continue reading Teetotal
The Other Place
Actually, I already have another blog. My journal over at use.perl. I guess I’ll keep that for techy, Perl stuff and put more random stuff here. Or something.
Welcome to the new blog in town
Can’t be anyone in the London NooMeeja scene without a blog. So here’s mine.
