A bit of this and a bit of that

It’s nice to have a quiet weekend every now and again. I managed to catch up on a lot of paperwork, spend some time with the family, went out for a nice Sunday lunch, yes, it was great. It’s amazing how many things can pile up if you don’t take care of them, so this [...]

You might have noticed the little widget in my sidebar showing things that I’m selling through this blog. Well, it’s a plugin called WP Auctions which I’ve written with Hyder from Weborithm. It lets you sell things straight off your WordPress blog, without haing to pay any listing fees, gallery fees or any of the [...]

Why is TV so bad during the holidays? There’s always different things to watch when I have things to do, then all of a sudden, I have a few days off and there’s nothing decent to watch. Flicking around I can see all sorts of things from soap repeats from 10 years ago, to adverts [...]

Don’t you just love long weekends? Well, thanks to Easter, we’ve had a great few days of family fun, eating the obligatory Easter Egg, chasing each other and opening gifts. I must admit, there’s some paperwork I planned to do this weekend, from sorting out tax papers to looking for comparative quotes on my mortgage [...]

Hmm, had a really wierd spam comment today:

Huh? Even if someone were long overdue for alcohol rehab, I’d expect something more coherent than that. Seriously, you’d think that if someone is [...]

I’ve recently become a massive fan of Family Guy; funny how I’ve never watched it before and now I’m just watching one episode after another. Was just watching one where Quagmire gets stuck in some machinery (looked like Delta machinery). My favourite character just has to be Stewie, just love the way he sees the [...]

People who ride on roller coaters have a higher chance of having a blood clot in the brain.
Black bears are not always black they can be brown, cinnamon, yellow and sometimes white.
People with blue eyes see better in dark.
Each year 30,000 people [...]

And Thank God it’s Friday. It’s been a pretty long week, with an exam in the middle, visit to the UK, meeting some old friends and finally tomorrow Camille and Arthur are coming back to the Isle of Man. Might go down to the shops (there’s a Technomarine watch I want to have another look [...]

Wow, I’ve just realised that I’ve been humming all morning, a sign that I’m in a great mood. It’s probably because my Organisational Behaviour exam is behind me, and I haven’t started looking at the next exam yet. That, coupled with a full night’s sleep, has certainly put me in high spirits. Or maybe it’s [...]

I’ve just realised it’s been ages since I played a game. I mean, not the occasionally Flash game or solitaire, but really got into something extensive. I used to enjoy things like Warcraft and Command & Conquer, but I really don’t have time for something so involving. Just to give you an idea, I get [...]
