Found Travel Provisions, local to me, in Ivy Mill.

Geoworks Settles Patent Claim. A classic case of 'too little, too late', I fear. So farewell then, WAP, it was, er, almost real ;-)

'Appalling' stamps way off the mark, Royal Mail told - good grief, Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths - how the hell can people mistake pictures (of made-up hallmarks) on stamps for real hallmarks, for goodness sake! What is this country coming to? Get a grip, will you? I think the stamps are great.

This is great. A desk-toy for VT320 users - excellente!

Dave's gas & electricity bill - wow, and I thought it was expensive in Germany!

Wow, I wonder how many of my essential tools I only use 10% of the functionality of? Most of them, probably.Take that indispensable telnet and ssh client PuTTY (Simon_Tatham++) - I've only recently discovered that you can cut and paste just like in X - hightlight with the left mouse button, paste with the right. Whooo. Sad, but true. And I'm not even going to think about what proportion of vi's

Hey - I just became an uncle again! Congratulations to Louise and Nacho - baby Sofia was born yesterday 17:30GMT in Guildford hospital. Cool-o. I'll try and get some pictures from them soon.

How to manage keeping up with the latest technical stuff while still having a life? You could do a lot worse than to grab MP3s of talks and interviews from TechNetCast - I downloaded stuff on Eliotte Rusty Harold and Jeremie Miller (of Jabber) last night - great listening. And talking of listening, I must say that my purchase of the year is without a doubt my wireless speaker gizmo. I'd show you

I've added a few new features to my (still young) Jabber text-based groupchat client - join/leave of groups on different groupchat servers, and lists of users and their presences, by group. Nice :-)I was chatting about the client in the jdev conference last night, and someone asked me whether I could use the client to jump to IRC channels via the Jabber IRC transport. I wasn't sure - I hadn't

I'm listening to the radio series of Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy as I hack on my Jabber text-based groupchat client. It never ceases to amaze me how much I enjoy listening to it, even after all this time. Douglas_Adams++ (no relation!).

Bought my wife a Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel from Microsoft for Christmas. Hardware: great. Software: unbelievably brain dead. The still-fairly-virgin Win98 machine crashed twice during the installation of the drivers (one blue screen and one hang) and then the sound stopped working (I had to start and stop our trusty WinAmp app to get it working. And the Monster Truck Madness 2 game that

Why is it that the weblogs I read the most tend to annoy (negative angle) or provoke (positive angle) the most? Are these things related? I think so. I came to this conclusion just now while taking a walk round the block (aargh, I actually typed 'round the blog') reading XML Bastard's article on namespaces. I was introduced to XML Bastard from the weblog arch-provocateur :-) Dave Winer at

Yikes! My very own weblog. I thought it was about time I got one, before the dawn of the new millenium and all, especially since I seem to spend my web browsing time reading other people's weblogs. So hats off to the kind people at Blogger / Pyra for this facility.
