Weeknotes Edition #2

Testament went well on Sunday. The players-only website for it, less so – I underestimated the complexity of the task I’d set myself, and have been hacking some fairly nasty javascript in spare moments all week to make it work. And even once I’ve got that done, that’s essentially just the player-relevant side [...]

On Privilege and Behaviour

I belong to what is pretty much the privileged group people on the planet: I am a middle class white cisgendered neurotypical heterosexual male from a developed nation who does not suffer from a mental illness or have a serious physical disability.
This tends to make me very careful when I talk about equality-related topics, because [...]

All Quiet On The London Front

You will have noticed that I stopped the 30 days thing on Christmas Day. The things you have missed are a detailed recap of my week, month and year followed by my hopes and dreams for the future, followed by closing with another dose of whatever took my fancy. While I’ve tried to [...]

30 Days – Day #25: My Day In Detail

Well, I woke up, scratched, swung my legs out of bed, put one foot in front of the other, etc etc.
Yeah. You don’t actually need all the detail, do you?
I’ve had a bloody lovely day. Bucks Fizz and a croissant, the company of my family, a phone call with my grandmother, a turkey [...]

30 Days – Day #24: The Holiday Season

The holiday season is in full swing, and while you’ll hear all about my day in full boring detail later, because that’s the next topic, I thought I’d use this “whatever tickles your fancy” to talk about the holiday season in general, and what it means to me.
I’m not religious in any sense that Christmas [...]

30 Days – Day #23: A Video

Playing catchup. Longer post tonight, probably. Anyway, I know the meme said “YouTube video”, but I like Vimeo more, and I particularly like this video, about the unseen digital ghosts that haunt our world.

Immaterials: the ghost in the field from timo on Vimeo.

30 Days – Day #22: A website

Just one? But I’ve worked on so many…
Debenhams was the first website I ever did any professional work for. This is Local London was the first website I was responsible for the upkeep of. ipoints was the first website I ever really enjoyed working on. I’ve spent the last few years [...]

30 Days – Day #21: A recipie

3 pepper pasta with chorizo. Serves 4. This is something I cook quite a lot – it’s easy to vary the ingredients a bit, depending on what I have in the cupboard and who I’m cooking for. I suspect this will make a lot of the more serious cooks on my friends [...]

30 Days – Day #20: A Hobby Of Mine

I skipped past photography yesterday. I’ve talked about roleplaying before. That’s the big two out the window, right there. I’m honestly not sure that blogging counts as a hobby, and nor does pissing about on the internet. So here’s a thing it honestly surprises me to be writing about: cooking.
I love [...]

30 Days – Day #19 – A Talent Of Mine

I take pretty pictures. I’m sorry this isn’t a longer entry, but I’ve had a busy Saturday already, I have a cold, and I urgently want to take to my bed in order to prevent said cold from wrecking me, because I have stuff to do tomorrow, and I’ve got to be in work [...]
