Creativity, curiosity, and code
We’ve been toying with the idea of digital radio for a while. We listen to the radio quite a lot and it’s been annoying us that we get bad reception in the new house. But DAB radio’s are expensive and we’ve questioned the value. Several of our friends have them though – a surprising number […]
As one of her Christmas presents (I won’t say from whom but his name begins with R and he’s a very good present buyer!) Sally got two top-price tickets to the musical Chicago! Sally loves the film version of this, I quite like it myself, and we both wanted to see it “Live”. So, yesterday, […]
I’ve been considering the purpose of this Blog lately It’s really only “notes to self” and yet, I started it after being inspired by other people, who were writing interesting stuff…or at least stuff about what they were up to that was of interest to me. It’s stuff that I’d like good friends to be […]
Oh dear, what have I done?? Our friend Simon had his 30th birthday on 2nd December and he had a really fun party in York that we attended. He’s a musician and has lots of musical friends, so part of the party was there was a PA and some musical instruments set up and a […]
Another comment that I made on another persons Blog that I wanted to copy here. It took me a while to write and contains a funny story from a business meeting, so I wanted to include it as a “note to self” of my own. The other-Blog author, is actually a friend of Sally’s, but […]
I’ve mentioned Iko, the excellent band that a friend of ours is in, before. The lead singer of the band recently posted an message on his MySpace Blog about filesharing.

Now here’s a thing that’s quite contrary. I’m not a very trusting person, while at the same time, I tend to believe what people tell me. I think it’s all down to experience. If someone says, for example, that they’ve got tickets to go see the Spice Girls at Wembley stadium. As long as it’s […]
Bit of a plug…the BikeRadar web site is really taking off and if full of useful info. I was just looking through it and I keep coming across more and more useful stuff. Like: A guide to chainsets A Q&A about chronic fatigue (which I MIGHT have been suffering from earlier in the year) Stuff […]
This is VERY exciting. My work have set up a cycle-to-work scheme. This is a government initiative designed to encourage people to cycle to work. Which I do anyway, but it’s still a real treat. What happens is this. I go out bike shopping to buy myself some new wheels to ride to work on, […]
So, I’m getting pretty into this cycling lark, but there are a few things that still baffle me. Cycling, like many other hobbies, has a language of its own, and experienced participants use it freely without really thinking about poor beginner like me who don’t know their cranksets from their cassettes and their bar ends […]
