Illness is a bastard (281)

Imagine his surprise as he opened his eyes and I ran a lawnmower over his thighs...

So... I’ve been being quiet lately coz I’ve had this horrible cold thing. Sore throat, strange and vivid hallucinogenic dreams...Fun! In the last few days I’ve basically slept lots and that’s about it.

Bah.

Thinking about what I should do with Freakcity and in what order...My original cunning ...

These wounds won’t seem to heal... (281)

Listening to Evanescence again.

pTunes appears to crash when I’m browsing plucker stuff and playing things in the background, which is a little disappointing.

Stayed up way too late last night creating new design stuff for the Freakcity v2 thing.

Now I have a headache. Ooops. Still, it’s not ...

Still...*grin*

Impromptu for 12 Fingers

OK, so why does Safari have to have a slightly different take on the Javascript “Date” function that plain breaks everything...

Grr.

I should just leave it, but I kinda think we should be supporting it, even if it’s not officially...so I’m trying to work out why it has decided the date shouldn...

Just for a change 😉

Prosecution: “It was HER.... there... that... GIRL!!! She did it...”

Defence “It’s a fair cop guv, I went and gorn and dunnit. It were me right enough, you’ve got me bang to rights and done up like a kipper”

Long day at work... (322)

Underwhelmed with the support for SD cards in the T3 it’s oh so very slow 😞

Loud office argument between PM and BA led to t...

It snowed a bit yesterday, which was fun 😉

Spent last night writing code to enable Sam + peeps to up...

Drink. Feck. Arse (313)

I went to this “new starter” drink thing on Thursday. Lots of people there. Free bar. Much drunkenness. Arse 😉

Slept much of yesterday, James came over, kinda got up eventually to watch a somewhat surreal Angel (he gets turned into a puppet, with ickle fluffy fangs an everything)

Need to get ...

homeward bound (328)

Well. Got the page done, got the scripts done, got the thing tested on WinNT 4 and it broke a bit. then again, I don’t ever remember IE 5.5 looking like IE 3 and it was misbehaving somewhat, so I suspect it might just be a broken version...

Am soooo sleepy today. Want a fag. Want a beer. Will be ...

Sunny spring (230)

Hm. Suspect I may be late for work. bah. Spent lots of last night playing with XF86 4.3.993 – quite pretty, nice fount rendering and stuff. Still, I wish someone’d just write a small and lightweight X server for NVidia... would love to have groovy stuff like FSAA across the whole desktop, not just t...

Attempted to install slackware and NForce drivers in 30 minutes this morning. It appears to have worked ok, left it slapt-get --dist-upgrading whilst I travel to work. For my next trick I shall attempt to remotely reboot into the new kernel without losing the network card 😉

District line: “Not dead, merely resting” claim experts... (181)

Tweed is so not in

Sat on tube (unshocker) the district line is broke for a change. Spent the day fiddling with Javascript bits. Cut down on the huge chunks of code in bits of it, which was good. Camera is lovely, Rudi was chatting to me by MSN and wants more pics...wonder how feasable a trip to visit James in France ...

Am I still ill? (again) (318)

Sat on the tube, which appears to be late again. Moved office, we’re now round the corner from where we were in the new bit. I got a window seat, so I get a view out over Hammersmith, which is very pretty. Well, I say window, I really mean wall, as the windows are floor to ceiling...

So, I’ve got m...
