Francisco has been away for the most of the last week or two… first in London for some conference, and currently down in L.A. at some wedding or somesuch. It’s been awesome – aside from this weekend where David & friends apparently didn’t sleep at all, it’s been perfectly quiet, and I’ve been getting decent… Read more
F2 and two of his three housemates threw a belated housewarming party last weekend. It was pretty good; mostly just lots of guys standing around getting drunk – some from two in the afternoon, it turned out, for a party that started after 9pm… there’s a drinking game called Wizards, apparently, where you use masking… Read more

My attempted tyre repair yesterday apparently failed. I didn’t do a very good job, granted, but I can’t find any actual evidence the repaired puncture is still leaking. But I can’t find any leak.
