I've had a brilliant day at work today messing around with encryption functions in .Net. # I awoke from nightmares this morning than were a cross between 13 Ghosts and Salute of the Jugger, thats the problem with going to bed early # Today I downloaded an album by Iron Maidens, the World's only all [...]

Mmm steak for breakfast, the right way to start the day. # Finally, enough sun to charge my watch with. Hopefully it'll last the winter! http://bit.ly/8XNPHo # Working from home today, more kit arrived for our wild camping trip in Oct, looks like I've almost got everything I need. Still no rucksack. # I've had [...]

My G-Shock Waveceptor watch recharges via a solar panel built into the watch face. It's almost ran out of battery, I need to get out more! # I'm at Boots for an eye test, morning eye test when I'm feeling all foggy probably wasn't a sensible idea. They're not even here yet though. # Eye [...]

Oops up until 1:30am playing Starcraft2 again. # Marble sized raindrops hammering down for the last 15mins here in Croydon, makes a change from being too hot all the time. # Had a really busy but enjoyable day at the office delving into LINQ for XML and it's peculiarities. # Getting excited about the Great [...]

Working in VB6 today, its amazing how archaic and cumbersome the language feels after working in .Net for so long. # Staying up until 3am playing Starcraft 2, may not have been the best idea. I'm going to feel it today. # I dreamt I was fighting some Viking reenactors but they were getting upset [...]

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. Today is going to consist of work followed by the Predators film tonight. # Just opened my cards and presents, got some money from my family and Julia bought me a tent yay. Also I missed a delivery w00t! # Up at stupid O'Clock this morning after slinking [...]

Playing scrabble with Julia, I'm losing but trying to claw it back. # http://twitpic.com/24yswc I pulled up some of the beetroot today, the first vegetable that I've ever grown. Hurrah. # The heavens have finally opened up here, I've seen a lot of rain lately! # IT Crowd tonight : genius! # We are watching [...]

RT @blonde_doctor @rs_rose @Jon_Jeffery: Yup, bring plenty of spare inner tubes! # Really struggling to get back into the swing of things today. The impending trip to the Lake District on Friday probably isn't helping. # Used my new lime and chilling shower spice this morning, feeling all fresh and awake. # http://twitpic.com/235cmy First sign [...]

Another Monday rolling on by. Can't wait till my holiday next week, camping up in the lake district. # Oh looks like it's been raining half the night here. Much cooler today, yay. # I've got a workman in doing a gas safety inspection, the bastard has just turned on the central heating! 0_0 # [...]

I recently discovered VMWare's ability to split virtual hard drive into 2Gb chunks. Thanks to this I'm now running a virtual pc from my ipod # Something I've eaten today has disagreed with me in a big way. Just as I finished cooking our steak dinner, I was overcome with nausea. # Emergency early night [...]

Gah I'm really feeling the Monday today. Probably due to staying up till 2am playing Assassin's Creed 2. So very tired. # In spite of the weather, I've just eaten a whole punnet of strawberries from M&S. Feel a bit sick now :/ # I can't believe how much my biceps are still hurting from [...]

Getting back into a routine after our weekend away. Swimming today: 28 lengths (700m) over 30 mins. Going to try going 3 times per week. # Setup the surround sound last night, now I need to spend many hours configuring it. Geek joy. # We've been watching Luther on the BBC, thoroughly impresed. Go beeb. [...]

Monday already, time to get our things together and head back to Epsom. Had a brilliant day yesterday playing Articulate with Dan and Tarah. # Home sweet home. Had an epic weekend, now for some lounging. Well ok, even more lounging # http://twitpic.com/1ss2yo Ahh cup of tea makes everything better. # Just watched 'Going Postal', [...]

http://twitpic.com/1qkl0b on the train to Work with Julia. Since her job moved to Croydon we get the same train most days. # Thankfully, it feels so much cooler today. I was *this* close to buying an air con unit. I'm knackered today though, did not sleep well. # Going swimming for lunch. We've been here [...]

Julia is out tonight seeing Flight of the Conchords, so it's boy time for me, this will consist of steak for dinner and reading my book. # Accidentally stayed up until 2:30am reading. Feel rough today so I skipped the cycling, already feeling guilty about it. # I think I need a new chair! http://twitpic.com/1pbqgq [...]

I'm totally going to play "Zombie, Run!" On my phone on the way home tonight! # God damnit, eaten by zombies already. 2mph seems slow until you realize that the walk through buildings to cut you off! # Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to cycle to work, this maybe a foolhardy and short lived endeavour [...]
