  1. @Sujatin I usually do - the external hard drive was part of the problem... Anyway, crisis averted, now my Sunday is turning out rather well!
  2. Narrowly avoided deleting forever everything I've ever written about philosophy. Yikes! Next time, I should concentrate a bit more.
  3. Booking train tickets in the UK - all the fun and thrills of the casino!
  4. Kingston University Press (and my philosophy book!) are in The Bookseller... http://bit.ly/2bgf7J
  5. Learned 5 Chinese characters on Skritter (now at 3139) in the past 2 weeks; goal was 42. Reviewed 25040 items in 7:47 with 94.6% retention.
  6. Just made a great curry. Now settling down for a bit of Satyajit Ray's Apur Sansar - no. 3 in the Apu trilogy.
  7. @craig552uk Thanks. I've been dual-booting for a couple of years, but decided to ditch Windows after realising I'd not used it for months.
  8. Just moved all my gubbins over to my Ubuntu install, & made the final break with Mr. Gates. Nice to have everything in one place again.
  9. It is a relatively easy thing to talk about ethics... but it is a riskier thing to actually respond to another." http://bit.ly/Sea-Legs
  10. Wondering if I should get round to renouncing Windows entirely for something more penguin-friendly.
  11. @jayarava It's a great book. I'm still puzzling over the odd things that non-recursion does to storytelling...
  12. In science section in Waterstones: books about Mayan prophecies of disaster in 2012 (not the olympics, btw). Science??? Shame on them!
  13. Spent the first part of the morning translating Du Fu, to the best of my rather limited ability, for the lecture this lunch-time.
  14. Sidling up to Things: Thinking about Obliqueness… http://bit.ly/3t0qXb
  15. Planning to have some fun with the poetry of 杜甫 (Du Fu) in tomorrow's creative writing class.
  16. Off to run a writing workshop at the Leicester Apple Day. Then need to think of a costume for tonight's fancy dress.
  17. Off to Stoke to celebrate the end of my friend Donny's PhD. I'm expecting an evening of talking about Husserl. Yikes!
  18. @RosalindAdam It's amazing how much of your life 140 characters can absorb...
  19. I should really go to work, but I'm distracted by Twitter lists...
  20. Our local international supermarket sells 1 can of chickpeas at 48p. They have a special offer on 2 cans for £1. Hmm...
