That’s me for you. (935)
A lot of people come up to me, “Kitty”, they say, “How do you manage to stay looking so young?” and I tell them a story.
Once upon a time there were some people. They had almost enough stuff between them and all was well. Generally speaking the people with more stuff weren’t bad people and they'...
Over and over and over and over (1178)
Small change is as important as big change. Small change is getting rained on though, whilst the rest of the world dies from overexposure to the sun. Slightly gorgeous weather yesterday and today so I spent the whole of yesterday hiding and some of today coding. Heading out to lunch in glorious suns...

Thoughts on rioting.
It’s not mindless, those who rioted in Tottenham weren’t just bashing shit up for fun, they were*angry* because the police killed yet another and didn’t think to inform his parents until 9 hours later. 333 people have died i[...]y in the past 11 years...
Things will pass. Or pontification. (756)
You know those people who tell you “It’s not where you going that’s important, it’s the journey”? They’re only half right.
Sometimes, it’s actually not important how far you go, but how you go. You see, the road less travelled may not take you as far as your peers, but if you follow o...
Allergies (789)
Dammit. It’s slightly annoying, but this summer for some reason I’ve been pretty much eaten by anything that flies. Trouble is, I’m allergic to mosquitos and so when I get bitten, whichever bit of me is bitten explodes to huge sizes and then dribbles pus everywhere. It’s slightly vile.

berlin and fun... (806)
Been away in Berlin for the past week. Bit of a culture shock coming home again, I am totally going to buy a Segway btw if I ever move to Berlin.
Being on a boat in the middle of a huge storm was great fun though 😊
Tacheles made me sad. Sure, nothing is permanent, but it seems to me that all the ...

The Curious Case of the Windows 8 (1236)
So, Microsoft has announced that going forwards, you’ll be able to build Windows 8 applications in HTML5 and Javscript. And from the conversation that was had it sounds like at the moment they’ll*only* support HTML5 and Javascript. Which makes me quite happy and your average DotNet developer panic....
Bleeding edge fun. (770)
Blergh. So I upgraded Novak to Fedora 15, whilst in the process of this, the kernel upgrade mentioned that it had a teeny problem with its postinstall script but that it was nothing to worry about and that I should have a cup of tea.

On the plus side, I’ve fixed (I think) all of the vulnerabilities in freakcity so there should be no more sql injection attacks and I’ll be a happy bunny.

I’m going to create a new photography project and I’d quite like all you budding photographers to help out.
It’s called “Stolen London”.

I need another place

Still have to many dreams
Never seen the light

Odd dream (1083)
I had a dream that Leem had attracted the attention of an amorous footballer through being friendly and playful. And that said footballer wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Sometimes my head is weird 😉
Brain filters and language (931)
I’m currently reading a book by Neal Stephenson called SnowCrash. Aside from being awesome it posits some ideas that I’ve been mulling over for a very long time, one of which is that we do not think at a base level in English, only in our higher brain functions do we use our internal monologue. If t...
Stocks and shares (1064)
As I was underwhelmed by Nokia’s decision to partner with Microsoft, I thought I’d buy some shares in them so I can (sorta) have a say in their future.
I rather liked the idea of nokiaplanb.com — Windows Mobile 7 is based on WinCE. IE7. Nuff said...
I quite like Noki...

Dental horreur (1531)
3 hours in the dentist chair yesterday. A nerve drilled into without anaesthetic. Two extra holes in a tooth and a couple of temporary fillings. Then I’m told I need a root canal as this is all just temporary.

Google Chrome, ChromeOS (1016)
Went to Goolge’s London office last night for their big chrome announcements. Man their office is pretty 😊
We sat in St James’s Park (all their meeting rooms appear to be named after tube stations. They also have a printer named Dangermouse :heart:) and the presentation began.
Oh yeah (577)
...and I broke my blog function, which is a bit tragic. So I fixed it again and now it is epic 😁
Happy world aids day. Pls drink responsibly.
