  • 5 Years in Eastleigh

    This week I passed my fifth year living in Eastleigh. It’s the longest I’ve lived in a place since my childhood home in a town called Crowborough.

  • LoveFilm video streaming

    LoveFilm also allow video streaming of some of their catalogue. Given that my television is connected to my Asrock running ubuntu, this means I can live stream content directly to my television. And it’s really good. 

  • Honeymoon

    Kat had never been to America, and we both liked the idea of going to San Francisco for our honeymoon. What with it being such a long way, I came up with the suggestion that we also spend some time in New York afterwards, to make the journey home slightly less crazy than the journey…

  • Wedding

    I got married!

  • Maemo Application repository – A suggestion

    One of the things which I like about Maemo is the way they arrange an application repository structure go with a development cycle of an app. Rather than simply writing something, and making it available in an appstore when you’ve made it ‘perfect’ there is a tiered structure.

  • No convenient confessions.

    Yesterday I returned from work to find my bike had been stolen. It was hanging on the wall in my garage when I left, and when I got home I noticed the rear door to my garage, the one leading to my garden, was open.

  • Wimbledon!

    Last week was my first ever trip to Wimbledon, Kat was fortunate enough to get centre court tickets for the second Saturday. So we got to see the women’s final!

  • Autonomy, mastery, purpose

    I recently watched a really interesting you tube video about drive. 

  • Back in the habit of cycling

    It’s easy to find reasons not to cycle to work 😉

  • With Frickin’ Lasers…Part 5 one year on

    A little over a year ago, I had laser eye surgery. Which I wrote a fairly bow by blow account of at the time. Today I thought I’d just write a quick update, one year on.
