So, having recently moved, I thought I’d share with you a phenomenon that I’ve come to live with: living beside a train line. Now, you may be thinking “aha, Robert, you poor fool! Living beside a train line must be hell!”. Well, short answer: it isn’t.

I’ve Moved
This post should not be confused with a similarly-named post I made earlier wherein I detailed putting this blog on the dedicated server I have. This time, it is in fact my corpus that has moved to a new locus. That is to say I’ve gotten a new flat.
300: The Film, The Workout
So I saw the film 300 yesterday. It’s a pretty entertaining film; I’ve always had a predilection for ancient Greek and Roman history – especially Sparta, Lacedaemonia, and the Pelopennesian Peninsula. Of course, people tended to snort derisively whenever I mentioned this, but when they see this film I’m sure their tone will change. If [...]
Tom and Jerry Music
Preamble: Yes, I know that arguably this post falls into the class of “pointless stuff I generally detest”, but I figured it might interest someone else looking for the info. This morning my hi-fi alarm went off (as usual), was tuned into some kind of classical music station (as usual), and just about failed to [...]
We’ve Moved!
No, it’s not another URI change. However, the blog has now been moved from my home rock-solid Debian server to my dedicated server (the fancy Fedora Core). The main reason – aside from the fact that I’ve planned this for a while now – is mentioned here. So you should notice both an increase in [...]
Update Update Update
I’m afraid this is not only an update as the title suggests, but also a confession. At the start of this year, I made three resolutions. So far I’ve kept to about one and a half. It’s not that I’ve lost sight of my goals – if anything I want them more than ever. However, [...]
Resomolutions
Happy New Year to all! I do hope everyone celebrated the beginning of 2007 (which was very cold and windy in the UK) in an appropriate fashion. Now, I’ve never been one for new year’s resolutions (I’m perfect the way I am ), but this year there were a few things that had been on [...]
Gerald Ford Is Dead
I may be slightly late, but former president Gerald Ford has died aged 94. Now, I’m not one to pass up an opportunity to cheapen a death, so I’d like to share with you a video of an SNL sketch by Dana Carvey about the late Gerald Ford.
Music (…no, not that Madonna album)
So I had an interesting discussion about music and it got me to thinking about the current musical state of affairs.
One Step Closer
Okay, now for a non-tech post. Those things were giving me techwriter’s block anyway. I warn you though from the outset of this post, I’ve been reading V for Vendetta [thanks Michael!], watching the film of the same, and had 1984 on my mind. So I may be a bit paranoid. Maybe. Even still, I [...]
