  1. "What's a tumblelog?" "It's for people who can't think of enough to write for Twitter."
  2. Woke up this morning to the sound of a squirrel barking at something from the tree outside our bedroom window.
  3. Finished a bit of finicky DB validation stuff, back to Java for a while.
  4. PixelJunk Eden is a prime example of video game irritainment. Each time I play it I end up swearing a lot and saying "Never again."
  5. Some tard is sending me SMS messages in Spanish. I wouldn't mind so much, but I'm paying to receive them.
  6. Some random Ubuntu update seems to have totally adgered NAT DNS in VMware Workstation.
  7. Woke up from dreams of Negativland, San Francisco, and houses with steampunk-like devices to pump the fog up the hills.
  8. It was only 32C today, so I went out for a nice walk and got salad for lunch.
  9. @annieo There's not much story. Mormons turned up at the door on 4th of July afternoon, I politely told them to go away.
  10. @drjtwit I don't mind Perl 5 continuing to exist for the sake of legacy applications, so long as Perl 6 is aborted.
  11. Mormons on 4th of July? They must have drawn the short straw.
  12. Finally finished Fallout 3 last night. Not sure what to play next.
  13. Anyone have any personal experience with providers of UK SIMs for phone roaming? (We've already got the unlocked quad-band GSM phones.)
  14. I achieved "Elite status" at Club Nintendo. Not sure I should be as happy about that as I am.
  15. @drjtwit: What, Python programmers relying too much on garbage collectors?
  16. Back from the vet. Chester's a little chubby, but other than that both birds are apparently fine.
  17. It's another hummingbird in the front yard! And this time it stuck around long enough for me to get a good look. That's one tiny bird.
  18. Firefox 3.5 out. Allegedly faster. Bug 276431 still not fixed. Meh.
  19. Rain! Just what the front yard needed.
  20. Just saw a mockingbird chase a squirrel through our front yard.
