New job

After almost 28 years (bar some short spells here and there) I am leaving Brighton, because despite being a fantastic city, the jobs market for IT (especially Linux) really sucks here. The city depends on tourism, there's no space or reason for very much technology. I am therefore abandoning the …

Firefox made me think, help!

Since Firefox doesn't seem to make it very easy to import/export the data it creates (beyond bookmarks at least), I probed my profile and found a signons.txt file which seemed to contain the information, albeit encrypted. No problem I thought, that will be the password I set for …

The Ancestor’s Tale

While I was on holiday recently I went on a bit of a reading marathon, which included The Ancestor's Tale, by Richard Dawkins. I just can't recommend this book enough - unless you are a wizened old Biology professor you aren't going to know all of the cool and fascinating things …

More pics

Joining the gallery (see links section) now are pictures from Shoreham Air Show (camera battery died, so I didn't get to take pics of most of it) and a holiday with my family to Salou, in Spain.

Revolver

Mr Madonna, sorry, Guy Ritchie, is back with another film. This time it stars Jason Stratham and is generally about unpleasant londoner types; So no change there for Ritchie. He has an impressive pedigree - Lock Stock is a very very good gangster film and Snatch was a worthy followup, but …

Big Chill!

I spent the weekend just gone in some fields in Herefordshire, at the Eastnor Castle Big Chill festival and it completely rocked :) My photos are in the gallery and tom's are here

Mark Thomas

Mark Thomas on stage at Concorde 2I saw Mark Thomas doing a stand-up gig at Concorde 2 in Brighton this evening with Alex, Simon, and Simon and jolly good it was too. The man can certainly express some righteous anger! It wasn't all political ranting (which was still very funny), there was a good mix of …

SonyEricsson k750i

I just upgraded to a k750i from a t610 and my initial impression after a few days is that it's a very good phone overall. It's not perfect, but it many of the weaknessesof the t610 are gone or minimised, and new features have been added and integrated extremely well …

Glastonbury 2005

Woo! Ok, so the torrential rain and inches of mud were a bit of a pain, but didn't dampen many spirits and the festival was still a lot of fun :) I saw some groovy acts play (Jools Holland, Van Morisson, Royksopp, etc.) and saw some funny sights (the guy in …
