This book is interesting me a great deal at the moment. That and I’m also re-reading Michael_Azerrad’s excellent “Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981-1991“.

Find Your Power Animal

It’s Monday; it’s a dank, miserable day outside; I’ve lost my BSP penguin badge on the way in to work and I’m in the office with 4 1/2 long days ahead of me and guess what? Yes, I’m in a bloody good mood. :)
Been reading the latest Scott Pilgrim book, Scott Pilgrigm & The […]

The latter part of this week has been downright weird.

I’ve finally succumbed and installed a trial of City of Heroes that Leon gave me. After a bit of a faff activating my trial account I’ve spent a good part of this evening testing it out. It’s rather good.. rather good indeed. Only problem is the occasional pausing due to my Vaio having a […]

Timing is everything

Yesterday I went on a bit about Google Earth. It appeared that the guys at google opened up the sign-up to it for a while today as I managed to get it installed on my box at work (Yesterday I only got to see it on someone elses PC) and have a good old […]

Old World Underground, Where Are You Now

June 16th, 2005 · No Comments

I’ve been hearing a lot about Ruby on Rails. So at the weekend I thought I may as well give it a go and installed it on my hosting, but as usual I still haven’t got round to spending any amount of time with it. I’d almost totally forgotten about it and it […]
