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.

Customer experience:
Total price to travel by car (assuming you own one): Servicing cost: ~20 per 3000 miles Petrol for journey: ~50ukp Total: 70 quid. To take the train: 90 quid + hotel (required) at 80 quid + left luggage in Birmingham and Manchester. Cost benefit analysis: Train – easier, can get up and wander round however…

Fucking trains
No, seriously. I looked on ‘The trainline’ earlier found my tickets, but was unable to buy them due to their site being a mangy piece of crap which had got stuck in a loop where it wouldn’t accept my address details, but nor would it accept that I should be able to log on. I…

Wilting
So, let’s try that again. It’s too hot here, and it’s only 1128 (now, it was 1045 when I first started). We tried an experiment in visualisation; the second monitor calls to me when it’s not on and and it’s nice to be able to see more stuff on screen; if you know what I…

With the sun on my back and the wind on my face
I didn’t give my bike credit for having more than one fault. Indeed, I assumed that there was one fault that was causing the problems. That it could be an amalgamation of several problems – that didn’t occur (don’t worry, this isn’t all bikey). Anyway, I decided to go visit freinds in Brighton yesterday; a…

Too clever for my own good
So, I’ve spent the day working on the bike, now how shall I put this, it looked like a fuel problem, smelt like a fuel problem, and felt like a fuel problem. But I’m forever blaming fuel, and it seemed to be more odd than that, what with there being a specific rev-related issue too.…

Damn this summer lazyness
I need to do the editing of my Chapter 3 – but the sun’s out and although I’m not a sun creature (more a mountains, snow and rocks creature) I do just feel the urge to laze. Not made any better by the fact my hayfever’s been completely evil today – and I’m still an…

High Quality Turkish Parts
So, I’ve had this slight problem with the bike; not a major issue but a noticable one; the bike was, when hot, struggling under load to hit more than 50mph. It’d get to about 60, but it took it’s own sweet time about it. So, a bit of a prod and we reveal the high…

Well, this is very cool
Obviously the data collected by this would be fantastic for music industry execs, but Pandora is an incredibley good concept and it appears to work very well indeed. Sufficiently well impressed to give them my e-mail address. Obviously, as Chrissy said, the data they collect must be incredibly valueable; but the selection of music that’s…

’tis the season to be overheated
’tis hot, and ’tis continuing to maliciously be hot without any good reason. Yes. So. Here I am, home again, my dissertation meeting went well, some suggested modifications (essentially, I need to link back more to my earlier critique, and there’s a couple of comments I made which he felt should have been referenced) which…
