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.

Lordy, but I am tired.
So, as you may guess, it’s the post nights rambling post. I don’t actually have that much to ramble about; I’m waiting to find out if I’ve passed my course. Which should happen some point in the next few days. If not then I can resubmit my dissertation, which is hopefully not going to be…

Some progress, at least.
So, I’m on nights again (woo). Tonight being the first in a series of three exciting nights, and my return to work after being off sick for a day (plus being sick for a day of my days off. feh)*. So today has, as prescribed by my usual planning, been largely a day of rest.…

For informational purposes
Just in case anyone has one kicking around, and for future reference. The axles that I’m interested in are on volvo 240s of the following flavours: 1976-79 240 with B21 and any transmission: 3.91:1 type 1030 1980 240’s with B21A/F and M45/6: 3.91:1 type 1030 1980 240’s with B21F and A/BW55: 3.73:1 type 1030 1981…

Fleshing out the bones
So, News: The Seager Brother’s piano is now in tune. Ish. Close enough for jazz, as they say. Apparently it’s a little flat, but it – our tuner reckons – has always been a little flat. Or at least, sufficiently always as to not be a good idea to change her. And whilst yesterday I…

Sometimes I imagine that Rebecca hates me
So, I know, in my heart of hearts that my car is not a person. I know she is no more a person than the piano stool, and the personality I imbue her with is merely a reflection of myself and the miriad mechanical parts of which she is made, and some distillation of the…

Oh, so that’s where the metal came from… Ah. Oh.
So, I’ve just sat down. I’ve sat down because my body has informed me in no uncertain terms that if I do not sit down it will put me down. Actually, I’m not wholly convinced sitting is enough to settle its desire for rest. See, I came off nights on Friday morning, and had a…

Post nights delight
So, whilst I was on my nights I came across this sign, which actually caused me near physical discomfort. It made parts of my brain really, really uncomfortable and I came away from it with that kind of flickering twitchyness that comes from something inherently wrong existing. Yes, yes! Fear the kerning disaster. I just…

Painting queen
So, the last few days have been awash with exciting sand-paint-filling joy. The original wallpaper – textured as it was: covered, as usual, a multiple of sins. I’d started filling it months (and months) ago – but had paused whilst I did my course. Returning to it and sanding it back revealed some more areas…

Progress (apace)
So, today was definitely one of those days where progress was made. Indeed, between yesterday and today much progress in a forward direction has occurred. The Pi is now working (although it has had to be overclocked to get enough performance to play my 30 gig HD Blu-Ray rips), I now just need to knock…

Fruitful Pi
So, for all of my wailing and gnashing of teeth yesterday, after another unfortunate *oh, arse* moment this morning (where configurator turned my machine into toast, again), today the install process has actually gone completely smoothly. I think knowing what you’re doing, and what order to do things, makes things go much more smoothly (doh).…
