Creativity, curiosity, and code
One of the reason that we don’t like Swindon much is it doesn’t have much character or history or culture. Or so we thought! We were eating out the other night and ended up – for what reason I can’t remember – looking up Swindon on Wikipaedia. Turns out it has some quite impressive claims […]
It’s been a bit of a hectic time of late so I have another backlog of posts to write. Watch this space for some back-dated things that I didn’t have time to write about properly when they popped into my head. Rats So, our house now smells, quite pungently, of dead rat. At least we […]
So, when we moved into our house the front room looked kinda like this: It should be pointed out that the red stripe was NOT our idea. The general mess and clutter was. Now, Sally has put a LOT of work into the painting. Her approach is very much little bits here and there whenever […]
On the New Bike – Off the New Bike – Lessons in Wallpapering Today was supposed to be really exciting – it turned out to be quite depressing. Mostly. It did in fact end on a high – but we’ll have to talk about a few lows before then. I’ve been very excited about the […]
So, we thought we had mice in our loft but, after further inspection, a little web research, and discussions with other people about the size of droppings, we’ve decided we have rats. Booooo! They seem confined to the loft above our extension and the wall cavities. After calling the council and hearing that it would […]

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 […]
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. I spent some time writing a response and wanted to copy my thoughts here. The full thread can be found on MySpace here. Ultimately, Kieran […]
I read an interesting statistic a while back that basically said that if you commute by bike in the UK, despite our highly changable weather, you’ll only cycle in the rain 12 times a year, on average. Hard to believe, but, today I cycled in proper rain for the first time in AGES. It’s the […]
