Much to the dismay of ‘normal’ people I mentioned it to, I spent Saturday down at the eBay, PayPal, GumTree offices (I didn’t realise that the latter were part of the gestalt…) in Richmond (very specifically in the office building that we heard was up to rent but my employers told us [...]

I’ve had my shiny iPhone for a week (almost to the minute) and it’s lovely. The camera even works alright.

I’ve been going to see lots of things recently. Many things. It’s thanks to Dr Michael Reeve, who rather than wanting to pay me back for the horrendously expensive ticket I’ve got him for Spinal Tap next week has decided instead to chip away at the money mountain by getting me tickets to see other [...]

I don’t like to talk about my many works that I do for charity, but I thought I’d mention this one. Because it’s the only one I’ve done for a while.
Anyways, I’ve been talked into doing a charity bike ride on Sunday the 19th of July – it’s the London Bikeathon and I’ll be doing [...]

For reasons that I have never been able to entirely fathom I am a devotee of the Milky Way. Not, as some might hope, the bundle of stars, gas, planets, discarded socks and invisible alien civilisations that we call our corner of the universe, but the chocolate bar brought to life under that name on [...]

My final piece of iPhone info fell into place, after speaking to the nice chap in the O2 store on Ealing Broadway. Here is a bulleted list:

The Ealing Broadway shop should have a good stock of phones as they are a ‘concept store’ and thus get more shiny than mere normal stores. They also have [...]

I mentioned my love of spreadsheets in my last post, but it seems I did not realise the true depth of that love until I started feeding numbers vaguely related to the iPhone into Excel… It’s truly filthy and I am ashamed.
Anyway, as part of the road to accepting my row and column based perversion [...]

As I wandered around Tesco yesterday, grumbling to myself about the constant lack of availability of my toilet paper of choice (both brand and pack size, a combination that has become important to me) and listening to Dire Straits, I realised that my life may have moved on a bit from my not-as-wild-as-I-like-to-think student days. [...]

I seem to be knackered. After a simple day yesterday of watching the rather excellent Stingray Sam, eating noodles and then watching the also excellent Timecrimes I went to sleep.
This morning I woke up stupidly early, eventually ignored the thunder, lightning and rain, and then wandered down to Canterbury to spend [...]

It seems that I have somehow managed to get myself invited onto yet another podcast. This time rather than the assorted randomness that was required to impersonate the myk half of the Thomyk podcasting posse, I was allowed to be myself and witter intelligibly about old games with Matt of Geek Planet. In short: I’ve [...]
