Month: September 2001

I now have ICQ on my home PC (but not at work). If anyone particularly wants my ICQ number, ask.

Just munched my way through a fantastic casserole and half a bottle of really-very-good Chilean merlot. Pity that the only company I had was a couple of pot plants and the stereo, but hey-ho.

Why didn’t someone tell me about Groovetech before?? 3000 DJ sets as RealAudio streams. Coool. Currently listening to Stakka and Skynet.

A good site about Elite and other games of that ilk. I’ve played Elite on the C64 and PC, and it still rates as the best game I have ever played – the prospect of Elite IV fills my wallet with foreboding.

Possible subjects for content at Grayblog today:

• the anti-globalisation protests in Brighton
• harvest festivals
• the weather
• new railway timetables
• Brighton football team
• PHP

But frankly, I can’t be bothered.

Disturbing search request for this evening: “repairing+showers”. Why is this disturbing? Because it is the first request in days not to feature sex or Osama bin Laden. Or both.

Beer tonight with Paul F, Ian, Paul C, Kearn, Matt, Clive, Tanya, Arron and Tim W. Cat also out and about – haven’t seen her for ages, and managed to drag her back here for a beer and chinwag. She’s watching me type this, which is only mildly disconcerting!

Nick posts photos of Wednesday’s miniblogmeet. I look far too shiny. And the woman behind me is clearly about to zap me with her laser eyes.

Today’s mission. Learn PHP.
I wonder why I get these hair-brained ideas at 4pm? Why not at 10am, when the day stretches ahead of me?

Did you know that the Lurpak butter man is called Douglas? Well, now you do.
