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.

Poot
So, I was all excited about the concept of starting work on the animation today. All excited, I was. Until I realised I didn’t have the software I thought I had. It took a while to work that out too, since it was on the Ent-Mac, and needed to be on the Shiny-G5-Mac, and the…

Distracted by the shiny
So, I’ve been looking on in joy watching the new Obama led government put a stop to torture in their name, signing orders to close Guantanamo, and generally being shiny in all the ways I’d hoped they’d be. Happily reading good things in the papers. It’s been a bit, well, different. Feeling quite positive about…

Belt and braces
So, I spent today working in Resus. I am, not to put to finer point on it, exhausted. My alarm went off this morning and having hit snooze once, and then switched the alarm off, it took me a full ‘nother 20 minutes to get out of the bed. I missed my shower, and was…

I am sad to report the death of skilled fitters
Even a few years ago, back in Brizzle, I walked into a quick fit, explained I had need of some 1.5″ exhaust to knock up something to make the exhaust for my minor (before I had a ‘proper’ exhaust) and not only did they hand me their skip and say ‘go dig’, they also said…

Okay, it’s frosty. Ha bloody ha.
Option A: Replace minor exhaust – difficult seeing as no one has the 1.5" exhaust in stock. JLH have a 2" exhaust in stock, but it seems a bit…big. Thinking about it. Not a quick solution. Option B: Wodge DAF back together, ignoring the will-be-very-quickly-trashed-100-quid’s-worth of clutch shoes. Option C: Ride motorbike. Option D: Repair…

And so it begins
So, congratulations to the USA on having a really eloquent, intelligent president; a person who’s inaugural speech was refreshingly honest and challenging. I hope that his presidency marks the beginning of a greener, more tolerant, and generally better period in the history of the USA, and indeed, the world.

Bother, squared.
So, it’s cold, frequently wet and windy. What would be less than ideal? Guess… go on… guess. Yep; that’s right, the exhaust on the Minor (made by Falcon, incidentally, with a ‘lifetime warranty’ from Charles Ware’s Morris Minor Centre, in Bath) has snapped again. I think this is the 3rd centre section. It may be…

It’s been a bit of a dog of a day
So, we spent another day working on the car, it took about 3 hours to get the single bolt off, and then the exhaust didn’t want to budge anyway. Technically we didn’t have to remove it, but it was enough of a nightmare getting the engine out without trying to loop things around the exhaust…

Bother, it’s all terribly complex
So, back when I followed computers and IT I knew which hard drive manufacturer was good, and which sucked. I had favourites, and brands I’d not touch. I was a consumate geek and cared not if the drive produced more or less decibels of noise, so long as it was quick, and had a low…

And so another day cometh
So, it’s been a bit of a bits day. I was meant to be on a training course, but it got cancelled, and the message didn’t get to me (although I suspected it’d been cancelled). Being a goody-two-shoes as I am, and being as I was on-site I went in to the department and checked…
