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.

Prodding Unsuccessful & History Meme
I just spent an unsuccessful evening prodding a Denon UD-M50 bookshelf amp. It looks fairly new, but it’s got something majorly wrong with it. The thing doesn’t even reach standby. Fuses all fine, power reaching the circuits required, so I reckon an IC or a mini-teeny-fuse-that-doesn’t-look-like-a-fuse has gone. It’s dead, I think. Which is a…

BSG Spoilers and more Vinyl
So, the fucked up and failed to send me a record. I complained. No reply. Then I complained though paypal, and y’know what, I got a single through the post today… accompanied by *another*, free, single. Woot! Of course, the one problem is despite 300k of resistors, it’s still distorting. I’m beginning to consider that…

400 Miles, Lots of People, 1 Meet
So, this weekend we’ve had Onne here to stay (actually he’s still akip in the spare room); for the purpose of attending the Morris Minor Owners Club Website Rally. Basically an excuse for (some of) the message board users to put names to faces, cars to name, and faces to cars. Or something. Anyway, this…

Bristol North Baths (Again)
Well, okay, here’s some photos. Well, quite a lot of photos: Gallery One – these are shots taken about 2 weeks ago, interior and fire escape, with a couple of exterior shots thrown in. In one shot you can *just* make out the glass roof they’ve covered with a hideous false ceiling. Gallery Two –…

Urbex Magazines
So, I like urbexing. I don’t do it much, because as it happens I like my job, a lot. And my job would be at risk if I got caught trespassing. So, how is it that it’s only today that I’ve found this? Mind, I had actually heard of it before. Sadly though, it appears…

In much the same way as my mind works…
… I found this. [EU Pack] [Children’s BBC Website] [About the BBC] [John Peel Day] [Websites about John Peel]…. ….The John Peel Sweet Eating Game. John Peel, you rocked. G’luck wherever you are now, and I hope you’ve found something you’ve not heard before.

Bleh
It’s another one of those ‘day’ thingies. I keep almost working, but not quite getting there. I tried to setup my IM thing today. Everything ‘cept AOL is now back and working. pyoorkate, generally. kate@linuxgrrls.org for MSN – that mail address doesn’t work anymore incidentally, hence it’s unmunged state. Found this. Anyone want to say…

Is it bad….
…to look at Canada as a possible place to live? After another staggering 2.5% pay offer (less than inflation) – I think that any imaginary hope that the NHS might be funded sufficently to actually pay it’s staff something near what they’re worth; or even similarly to other public service professions, has now faded. Canada’s…

The Last One Standing
So, I got up this morning rather late, with every intention of going swimming. Having asked to borrow 2 quid of my beloved yesterday so that I could go, I then forgot to ask her for it today… …so I spent about half an hour wandering around the house picking up the small change from…

More SpamBot Beating
I’m hoping now that spam bots are not going to spam this site. Why? ‘cos I’ve ‘done stuff’. So, if it’s not working properly for you (and you’re not an irritating spam bot), please feel free to mail me at the usual address…
