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.

Days off
Days off still feel a bit of an oddity. I allowed myself a break between the slog of the bathroom and starting the hallway, because I thought this is probably good for my sanity. In it I’ve cleaned the house, I’ve moved the website (wordpress used to be in a subdirectory, it’s now not) and…

Moved
We’ve moved. We’re now at Pyoor.org instead of being at pyoor.org/wordpress. If you notice anything broken, please let me know. I’m not having much luck editing the theme I chose, so may choose another one, so things may be excitingly labile for a while. Err, yeah. So that’s that. Please feel free to update your…

Onward
So, today’s progress report from the house… Sealant in around bathroom window; it’s not as neat as I would like in a couple of patches, but I’ve definitely got better at it (also, this is way nicer sealant than the grot I’ve got previously from B&Q. Much smoother to use, but dries hella-fast). I’ve managed…

The New Rip Project
Okay, so as I’ve commented before (enough times, I’m sure), back when I originally ripped the media in our house a variety of encoders were used. The archaic Risc PC encoder (ooh, the pain), LAME on Linux (a early 2000’s version), various PC encoders… It depended on the OS I was using at the time.…

The Lino Has Landed
Well, technically it’s vinyl, not lino. But it’s close enough. Anyhow, yesterday was spent planing the bottom edge from the door (yes, Kathryn and I really did plane the door rather than me just hack the bottom off it with a saw) and then I spent a large chunk of the day laying the lino.…

Sometimes it’s the little things
Now, for those of you who are sick of the house updates… here’s another one.

Master of the 8bit music
So, today I headed over to John’s with some more of our broken old sad things. Actually I headed over to see John with the hope of showing off the Music 5000. Technically, what we have is an upgraded Music 500. But anyhow, I loaded up the Volvo into a Early 80’s timewarp, and headed…

Apparently, today I am a hunter gatherer of sorts
I’ve been hunting for bathroom stuff today. This is because I realised that I forgot to run the strip of glue between the two bits of MDF that make up the bath’s side panel. I’d realised this after I’d primed and whilst I was filling, but thought, hell, I’m sure it’ll be okay. It’s not…

An experience
It was a shame not to share it with someone. The glee bubbled around inside me. I stood in the store and looked down racks of records. Actual Vinyl, and yes, it’s at the back of the store, but the back of this store is not a shame-ridden back corner, it’s a proudly displayed and…

2012 and all that
So, as is traditional (for me) here’s a little summary of the year just gone. I’d like to say it was a fantastic year and I look forward to more of the same, but the a more honest comment is that it was a pretty crappy year, and I’m glad it’s over. And yes, I’m…
