Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

She Riiiiides, 2.
Well, being a twonk (yes, I am) I picked up a single pole switch instead of a double pole switch for the lights, which is annoying – so I need to replace that. But the rest of the bike is now wired and lighted and ready to rock and roll. I have a grab-rail instead…

Whining
Recurring theme: Why are Maplin and Halfords so crap these days? I remember when you could go in and ask for a splined widget to attach to your kanarkle and they’d pause and say “lungified or unlungified? We have both in stock if you’re not sure”. Maplin staff are generally lacking in clue, but the…

She riiiiiiiiiiides.
Well, ish. She runs anyhow. John came down yesterday and with John like skill combined the 3 wiring looms into one, lopping off connectors that are no longer required or don’t fit together, deciphering my modifications to the old loom (to replace the old failed mechanical regulator with an electronic one, and so on. Having…

Apparently Cardiff Uni didn’t get a reference in time to consider me for this year’s Critical Care MSc. I find this really rather upsetting. While getting in would have meant I wandered around the house making whimpering noises of fear, and not getting in would have lead to months of cursing, not getting in because…

Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so.
That isn’t quite the response I got from S J Tools in Slough when I asked whether my gearbox which they’ve had for 8 months was ready. A two week job they said… in December last year. It may, they said, take a week or two to get started because they were busy. A month…

Well, we’re back after our second week of galavanting. We spent last week at the Fringe Festival. I’m going to now go and sketch out the holiday posts, so expect them shortly. There are photos on flickr, but I’ve not captioned them at all yet…

As easy as 3.243F6A8885A3
So, Kate gave me her 2G iphone. Kate is lovely, did I mention that? Battered though its case is, it works perfectly and I’ve been delighting in it’s shininess; even more so now that with the addition of RedSn0w it’s jail broken. The only difficulty was the nice walk-through I found for jailbreaking said phone,…

We are, apparently, not worthy
So a holiday post will appear in the near future, I’m sure you’re very pleased to hear. At least those of you who aren’t completely bored witless by my holiday posts will be pleased to hear. Today, however, an urgent mission of clothing was required. Of my 3 pairs of jeans, 2 had been relegated…

The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up? Instructions: Copy this. Put an ‘x’ next to those you have read (watching a movie version doesn’t count!) Tag other book nerds.

As long as the staff of the NHS continue to do the impossible with the insufficient nothing will change.
