Well, I’ve had quite a long period without a post so here’s a quick update. Had xmas at the ‘rent’s with Livejournal:nunfetishist and Livejournal:gwendraith. Now in Edinburgh with Livejournal:gwendraith and we’re expecting Livejournal:gerald_duck and Gabriel for hogmanay. Still, time for a rest before hitting more computers with a “You will fucking work you cunt” stick. My laptop has a duffed filesystem. Livejournal:gwendraith‘s desktop is being reinstalled, her firewall (stargate) which myself and Livejournal:nunfetishist set up last year has developed some HD sector faults so we need to re-jigger that. sigh

Cut — What was it I was going to say?
Oh yes... Bah -- Humbug!

Huntley found guilty of Murder, Carr guilty of conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Unshocker http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3312551.stm

Sorry to all those syndicating Livejournal:ppfannounce but due to a bug in the rss (now fixed) all announcements to date will turn up today. I can’t find a way within livejournal to suppress them either :-(

Cut — Well, here's the weekend in brief...
So Friday night was pretty quiet, mostly just pottered around coding, reading, watching distraction and generally vegging out. Saturday saw me get a drastic hair-cut so that I could wear my snuggly hat with impunity. Then the Debian Xmas Meet began and things got geeky. I had a good chat with lots of local geeks, and a couple of less-local ones; planned to meet up with one or two over new-year in Edinburgh and generally had a good time of it. We started at the Regal as is common (although we're thinking of changing this) proceeded to the Salisbury Arms, and ended up in the Live & Let Live by the end of the day. Finally we went to Steve McIntyre's place for a cup of tea/coffee, a beer or two, more chatting about Star Trek (was on telly) and then more Debian geeking, before Livejournal:nunfetishist and I finally went home. It was good to see Livejournal:cjwatson, Livejournal:morayallan, Livejournal:dpash and many others. Sunday was quiet. Livejournal:gerald_duck came over and we played various games, including Mao, Carcasonne, Hearts (which I lost abysmally at), Scrabble (ditto) and I'm sure something else. Again, much chatting, geeking and general fun was had by all. And then.... I slept

Okay, so Livejournal:gerald_duck pointed me at this and all I’ll say is that I’m glad I have my new tinfoil hat to protect me from those pesky flying rats.
