Just back from “V for Vendetta“. Fantastic film – and surprisingly faithful to the original Graphic Novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. Not that Alan Moore had anything to do with the film. Just wanted to make that clear. The promos for the film focused on the flashy imagery of V [...]
Someone phoned a wrong number, got me – and I wasn’t in! My answerphone got it, though. But I’m sure it counts!
Arrived back in Livingston after four weeks in London – originally going to be two weeks, but we needed an extension. It was… an experience, to be sure. Both the Edinburgh and the London City airports are, well, not really big enough to be real airports! So on takeoff, the pilot sits there, brakes on, [...]

It seems I’m being sent to London for the next two weeks, so I can help with various bits and bobs at our datacentre. It’s been years since I’ve been in London, bar passing through a couple of times on my way elsewhere. I’m very looking forward to checking out the museums in my spare [...]
I can’t believe it’s been five years since you came into my life. I also can’t belive how long it’s been since we last saw each other, but that’s my own stupid fault. One day I hope I can explain just how stupid grown-ups can be, and I hope you will be able to understand, [...]
Well, today I was wrapping up presents for Mr. D’s birthday.. I went to the nearby Post Office up the road, but they closed right before I could post them. It was ridiculous – clearly I just needed to get stamps etc., and it would take two minutes at most, but no, “We’re closed!”. On [...]
