A life less interesting
Since I last blogged a few things have happened.
Kathryn and her mum completely redecorated the living room but alongside that I have removed my fishtank. The fish were all succesfully rehomed - albeit following a stressful weekend of fish capture, tank draining and heavy lifting. The tank itself and everything else has been put into [...]
INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY
APPARENTLY TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY. SO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO INSIST ON WRITING EMAILS AND FORUMS POSTS IN CAPS LOCK CAN FINALLY BE ACCEPTED.
PERSONALLY I THINK IT’S A STUPID IDEA AS READING A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPITALS IS INCREDIBLY IRRITATING - EVEN AS I’M WRITING THIS I’M FINDING IT HARD TO READ WHAT [...]
Rain stopped play
We’ve just arrived back at our beach villa having been caught on a pedalo half a kilometre from shore by a monsoon. It was quite fun actually as we tried to outrun it but it caught up with us with 100 yards or so left. Seemed like an opportune moment to write a blog anyway.

Maldives II
I am currently writing from the sunlounger next to our personal plunge pool/jacuzzi. Kathryn is currently at the Spa enjoying a deep cleansing facial treatment and should be there for the next hour or so.

Eighteen months of planning and preparation came down to one single day and almost everything went according to plan. Following one of the [...]
Nike Human Race Update

Kathryn is particularly keen on the race Tshirt so this [...]
Y-IKE-S
I guess it’s because the death toll hasn’t been that high and the press reckon we’ve got enough news of our own but I never realised how big an impact Hurricane Ike had had. Check out some of the pictures here.
15 days till the wedding - Our existence permitting
There are 15 days to go until Kathryn and I get married and we’re really looking forward to it even if we have a seemingly never ending number of things still to do.
However, this is all of course depend on whether the new Hadron Collider in will destroy us all on Wednesday.
Fingers crossed it doesn’t [...]
Google goes Chrome
In a move that suprised me quite a bit Google have announced their own web browser. Pitches directly in competion with IE and Firefox but apparently designed from scratch to suit today’s modern web user - or some such waffle - it works a bit differently.
Google have even come out with a comic to tell [...]
