The more relaxed part of the website. Life, the Universe, and everything that isn’t covered by one of the other sections. This being a fairly wide mandate, don’t expect any logic in the organisation here.
By the way Keep the Aspidistra Flying is a novel by George Orwell. I’ve never read it, but it’s a pretty nifty title, you have to agree. Although sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t have opted for a more Graham-Greene-ish Travels With My Browser. Answers on a postcard please to...
All things technological, more or less. I like computers, okay? I started out with a Commodore VIC20 (for professional wordprocessing, ah those were the days), later I bought an Amiga. I enjoy playing around with Linux, Macs have been given houseroom in what passes for a house in my life, and I’m also a Microsoft Certified System Administrator.
So I’m a geek. Wanna make something of it?

Soapbox time. For those who aren’t up to speed with this particular London tradition there is a place in Hyde Park, known as Speakers Corner, where people can go to rant about something they feel strongly about. Yes, there are loonies, but it’s also a bastion of free speech (alright, free speech and showmanship).
So, it’s for stuff I feel strongly enough about to witter on at length. You are free to disagree with me.
This section includes no beards, sandals, or tofuburgers. Promise.
Not too sure what will go in here, except that I hope to make it as useful and informative as possible. Good things, bad things, whatever.
I cannot conceive of a happy house where there are not more books than shelves to contain them. Books are good for you: they stimulate the imagination and are also stealth education - even comic books - as good spelling and grammar are absorbed by coming into regular contact with good spelling and grammar.
Things to read, and things to read about things to read. If you find the comments useful (or not), please don’t hesitate to say so. There’s a forum attached to each article.
Films, DVDs, TV series - anything that can be passively absorbed while making inroads on the popcorn, real or metaphorical. We get this stuff thrown at us all the time, we get nostalgic for the things we watched as kids - usually to the total bemusement of those who didn’t.
Old stuff, new stuff. Good, bad, and mediocre.

Warning, this quiche has a strange tendency to evaporate in the presence of gourmets. It’s probably best to make it not more than a couple of hours before the meal.
