That was the year that was
It’s interesting how the number of people subscribing to this blog dropped by almost half after I published this mosiac of my photos from the anti Prop8 protest in Boston and this rant about the Bishop of Lancaster.

Juiced
I'm waiting for Ubuntu JeOS (pronounced Juice, by the way) to download at the moment so that I can do some virtualised stuff. Well, more accurately, so that I can do some virtualised stuff without having to wait for ever and ever and ever for X to start when I don't need it. Since JeOS [...]Archive
