“Daddy, it’s snowing!” came the voice on the phone. Despite the enjoyment that the small person in question was undoubtedly getting, I groaned and realised that it would be a nightmare cycling home. And I was right. Snow started at about 1630 this afternoon and, leaving only about an hour later, it took about 50… (read more)
Some of the more unusual search terms people have plugged into Google which has led them to this site: guy fawkes guilty or framed; guy fawkes was he framed; smack the pingu new version; Very odd.
According to a NASA press release, the Spirit Rover is transmitting data back from Mars at 128 kilobits per second.

I’m moving my domain, sungate.co.uk from 1&1 Webhosting to Bytemark hosting, where I already have the machine which runs this web site.

Anyway, during the transfer, there may… (read more)
Well, that was not a fun day. This morning, I lost a battle with some black ice on my way to work on my bike. Minor, superficial injuries resulted – not serious by a long shot, but far from pleasant. Walked back home with my bike, neither me nor the bike being in a fit… (read more)
