well it was a shock, but i’m coming to terms with it. Gillian and I have broken up, after being together for over 8 years. I won’t go into the gory details of it, but we’re hoping to stay friends. I just need to figure out what to do with this house now … suffice…

Urban myths and legends … I like trawling sites like snopes.com, reading about how Coke once had cocaine in it (it did), and how Finland banned Donald Duck because he wears no underwear (they didn’t) … snopes.com also carries loads of myths that have popped up in the wake of September 11th, and other sites…

server crash well that wasn’t fun … something bad happened on the first ide channel of my main file server, intrepid, and when i finally managed to boot it off a rescue floppy, i found a bad state of affairs … on the two disks on that channel, i have /, /home, /usr and /var…

aha – i’ve neglected blogger again! So for my sins, I’ve signed up to Blogger™ Pro – Ev’s doing an early adopter deal of $35 for the year to get preferential servers, more features, and so on. Since I last blogged, I’ve changed jobs – I’m now working for SmoothWall 🙂 Working from home is…

something nice that evan linked to off blogger.com … blogback and i’ve implemented it here – it slows down the page loading a bit, but it lets people reading this blog to leave comments. God knows why you’d want to tho 🙂
