Mocking The Afflicted
October 29, 2003 | 3 Comments
I know it’s cruel, but I am having a rare (at the moment) chuckle over Iain Dincan Smith’s predicament. Having challenged people who think he should face a No Confidence vote to put up or shut up, he’s now in the situation where they’ve put up.
And so he’s left putting a brave face on […]

Diabolical Night
October 27, 2003 | 4 Comments
I found myself feeling all queasy when I went to bed last night (I’m really not looking forward to some stuff), and couldn’t settle. Even once the queasy had faded, which a cup of tea helped with, I really couldn’t settle. It’s been one of those nights where you just lay there, acutely […]

Just Some Stuff
October 26, 2003 | 1 Comment
I’m still here by the way, just not talking much at the moment.
My original plan for this weekend was to hermit, but it was suggested by one or two people that in my current frame of mind sitting at home and brooding (which I would do) was not a particularly sensible plan. So Alison, […]

As Bad Days Go….
October 23, 2003 | 1 Comment
…. I’m placing this one in the top few that I can remember. One of those days where nothing that I do seems likely to get me past the obstacles that are in the way, and even past those obstacles there are others looming.
I may be about to go a bit quiet. Don’t […]

Over at Blogadoon, Ian had a few things to say last week about the event that I still insist on calling Pride.
Well said, that man.

Modern Man’s Guide To Monsters
October 22, 2003 | Comments Off
I’ve been meaning to plug Working Title Comics for a while. It’s a kind of semi-offshoot of MillarWorld that produces online comics created by a group of contributors.
The reason I’ve finally been kicked into mentioning it is the addition of a new comic drawn by Guest Blogger James, The Modern Man’s Guide To Monsters, […]

Uncrashed
October 21, 2003 | Comments Off
Thanks to Dave’s sterling work, I’m back with a functioning laptop, though with a new hard drive, so certain stuff is gone away forever since I hadn’t backed up for a little while. Among the specific things that are gone is my ICQ contact list, so if you were on it, can you drop […]

Crash (Literally)
October 20, 2003 | 2 Comments
Hellfire and damnation.
Owing to a small accident on Saturday, the laptop hard drive is dead. Which is a complete bugger of course. I had every intention of being extremely productive on some of my own stuff during my projected quiet time yesterday afternoon, and that plan came to naught.
Anyway, the other crash was […]

Weekend? What Weekend?
October 18, 2003 | Comments Off
Argh.
Just when what I want more than anything is two days when I can sleep late and do nothing, I’m getting a weekend of busy busy busy. I’m helping move furniture all day today (just about to go and collect the van), though I’m getting a cooker and a fridge-freezer out of the deal, […]

Comment Spam-Posting Fuckers
October 16, 2003 | Comments Off
Having received my first ever comment spam overnight, I’ve since had two more from the same source.
And I can’t be doing with this at all, so at Chris’s suggestion, I’ve installed MT-Blacklist, deleted the fuckers, and blocked them from reposting that particular spam.
Unfortunately, when retroactively removing, the posting still shows up as having received a […]
