Dentist Redux

I went to the dentist once more yesterday, to have the remaining two fillings done. The process was much faster this time – less work to be done, and we all knew the process now. It worked much the same as last time, excepting, notably, that this time I’m not sure how well the anaesthetic… Read more

What’s the best way from here to London?

Ever wondered what the best way to get from, say, my place, to, say, London, is? [Comma comma comma comma hwau] *ahem* Well, the logical thing would be to ask trusty old Google Maps.

So I figured 300 would be good, because it’s… Read more

FatMac II: Die Another Day

As some people already know, I had a rather sad time the other weekend. The Friday night (the 27th of April) my Powerbook, affectionately known as FatMac (it seemed really big compared to my 12″ iBook), unceremoniously died. Damn. It had a dint in the edge, next to the power plug, more or less since… Read more
