I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Somehow I managed to miss posting yesterday. Hardly surprising I suppose… it was a long day! For starters at 6:30 a.m. I was at the ice-rink with the youngest for her lesson… followed for her by some ‘free skating’ time… and for me followed by another session in the gym. The youngest then had another … More Shrek the Third
Cold… wet… dark. Temp was 10ºC last time I looked. I think I’ll go to bed.
We’ve an advert for something or other running in Australia set on a beach. It shows a guy messing with his digital camera and accidentally or deliberately focusing on a group of young girls ‘dressed’ in scraps of material that hardly cover anything. They look up, realise the camera is pointing at them and start … More Say cheese!
The wife took a day off travelling to work at home today which meant she was here to pick up the car with me. We thought some of the time she usually spends on the train could be put to better purpose so off we went. Car was ready of course, but did I get … More Back comes the car.
The problem with me talking about computers is that I get obsessed and talk about nothing else for hours… which to be fair bores most people to tears. However… this hahahaha… is *my* blog so I feel empowered to witter on pointlessly about whatever passes through my brain cell ad nauseum!!! Still I have to … More More on Reminiscences
You may have noticed a new category has popped up called ‘Reminiscence’. I figured I spend a lot of time rambling about my past so if anyone would want to read anything so personal, then all they need to do is click. Of course… right now there’s just the one post in there… but hey. … More Categories.
Was just chatting to a friend about ‘the old days’ of computing. The wife and I got our first machine back in 1984.. an Acorn Electron… basically a cut down version of the BBC ‘B’ sold in attempt to cash in on the market created by the Beeb’s success. Didn’t work of course. They missed … More Joyce – the Amstrad PCW 8256
My birthday is on October 27th when I shall… should I live that long under the ongoing pressure of this stressful life I lead… reach the somewhat mature age of 60. Now this is already twice the age an old gypsy fortune teller told me I’d live to so I’ll not complain (much) if/when I … More My Birthday wishes.
The wreck was returned this morning and replaced by another wreck… a more or less working Subaru Liberty this time. To be fair, apart from the sheer ‘basicness’ of the interior… and a radio/cassette player out of the ark… it isn’t too bad… all things considered. At least it’s warm and dry! 🙂 Of course, … More And on and on and on
I was writing something to the wife about a trainee solicitor we knew. Apparently she’s left the firm but we have no idea where she’s gone. Trouble is, as is well documented, I have a very odd little mind. One of its oddities is an inability to remember faces out of context. A prime example … More Who are you again??
