Argh! WordPress upgrade!
01.19.12 | Permalink | Comments OffThis was going to be a post where I put up my latest Japanese homework (some diary entries). However, I noticed that WordPress needed to be updated, and stupidly, I actually tried it… I think the problem is that the web server runs as a different user than my FTP user, so when I installed [...]

Flat not burned down.
Yesterday, during my weekly WoW night, the front door bell went unexpectedly. ?Unexpectedly, because nobody calls late at night! ?This turned out to be Kenny, my ex-neighbour-but-one-floor-down. ?He told me that some kids had set a fire in one of the bin enclosures around the back! We went and had a look, but as the [...]

Snow!
12.17.09 | Permalink | Comments OffIt finally got around to snowing around my place, having started in England before Scotland, which is just wrong. It wasn’t snowing when I left work in Glasgow, and I snoozed on the bus home (I was actually worried I’d missed my stop), and when I woke up everything was different… I took some pics…

11.22.09 | Permalink | 5 CommentsI finally deployed my Live Catch Trip Trap Mouse Trap, as you’re supposed to check it every two hours, and this is really the first time since I bought it that I’d actually have the time to relocate the mouse should one turn up in it. Well, only three hours later I start to hear [...]

11.20.09 | Permalink | Comments OffSo I found this slightly bedraggled mouse in my bathtub this morning, when I went for my morning wash. This would be the third mouse I’ve found there, and the second live one. I wonder if it’s something about the standing water that’s attracting them in? Anyway, as the mice are beginning to bug me, [...]

Playing with Brushes
10.09.09 | Permalink | Comments OffBrushes, an iPhone app, is a nice little painting app for the iPod Touch or iPhone (whichever flavour you have). I’ve been playing with it occasionally, generally when I’ve forgotten to bring a pen and paper along. My attempts to start with broad swathes of colour and then go gradually smaller and smaller have failed [...]

Punchline version: I’m okay, some stuff got taken.
09.07.09 | Permalink | 5 CommentsTo give the “I’m OK. The bull is dead.” version: Punch line: I’m fine. Some stuff got taken. Current status: My door has been fixed, and should be stronger than it was. The door frame has been replaced, and reinforced with metal. They took my graphics tablet (grr!), one of my monitors, a laptop, some [...]

Endeskinated
08.29.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI’ve taken delivery of a new desk, which means I now have enough space to bring my graphics tablet out of hiding. I’m hoping that this will mean I actually do some artwork occasionally… The old desk is going back into the spare room, to be my (theoretical) physical art station.

"Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff – writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.Tag Cloud
