I’m not really sure why I find www.blackpeopleloveus.com funny, but I do. Take a look. Big up to Sally and Johnny.

New Coffee Machine

without comments

[image:1655,left,15,5,0] Yesterday I managed to acquire an espresso machine, so just now I had a crack at making a Cappucino. I think it turned out quite well. The foam in the coffee is a bit coarse, but apart from that not a bad try. Much inspiration came from the How to Make Perfect Coffee and Espresso guide.

You can see the (half drunk) fruits of my labour in this photo.

New photo collection system

without comments

I’ve changed the way I store my photo collection. It is now on a seperate server and all the images are licensed under the Creative Commons NonCommercial Sampling Plus license, should anyone want to use the images.

I’ll try and move more images across to the new server as I get time.

Bizarre

with 2 comments

The Poignant Guide to Ruby has to be one of the most bizarre but refrection introductions to a computer^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H language I have ever found…

“Most variables are rather temporary in nature. Some parts of your program are like little houses. You walk in and they have their own variables. In one house, you may have a dad that represents Archie, a travelling salesman and skeleton collector. In another house, dad could represent Peter, a lion tamer with a great love for flannel. Each house has its own meaning for dad.”

Sneaky swines…

with 11 comments

Two of my best friends, Clare and Matt have announced that they are getting married in a covert e-mail about Munkyfest.

So stealthy was the mention of weddings that I had to ring Clare’s brother up to get him to read the e-mail again before he noticed!!

There list of wedding demands is particularly strenuous…


No planning
No engagement cards/presents
No using the words fiancé or fiancée
No wedding list
No wedding presents (we'd much prefer you give money to a worthy charity)
No stag night
No hen night
No need to dress up
No rings
No bridal procession
No prayers
No hymns
No readings
No flowers
No wedding dress
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing borrowed, nothing blue
No matching outfits for the men
No best man
No maid of honour
No bridesmaids
No pageboys
No bouquet
No confetti
No wedding bells
No photographer
No photo session
No wedding car / horse drawn carriage
No champagne reception
No food provided
No sit down meal
No buffet
No wedding cake (though the consumption of non specific cake will be allowed)
No speeches
No first dance
No disco
No car decorations
No wedding stationary
No wedding insurance
No invitations (this is all you get)
No need to write formal letters to tell us whether or not you're
coming (though a brief e-mail would be nice!)
No obligation to attend
No pressure
No umbrellas
No bongos
No effort required.....

Now that’s the kind of wedding I like.

Boat Race and monumental f*ck ups

without comments

I went to the annual Manchester/Salford boat race this weekend and took a lot of photos. I’m still fiddling around with some settings on my camera so the white balance is a bit out on some of them. Ah well. Unfortunately Salford didn’t win, but they did come very close in nearly all of the events they lost. The Senior Men’s 8 must be gutted at a 0.9s loss :(

In other news, I’ve spent most of this morning looking for my car keys, which it turns out had been hiding under my pillow. I’m not quite sure how they got there, maybe in a fit of sleepiness I thought the “Key-fairy” might turn them into some money for me. Ah well, another day booked off as holiday. I’m going to pop by and see my old colleagues in Leeds this afternoon.
