I’ve got this server in my loft at home that’s mainly a file server for the data we use/view/listen to here. It looks like this:
A bit of a beast. When I bought it over 4 years ago I somehow thought I’d be adding a lot more drives. Anyway.
It’s been a good, reliable bit of kit [...]
I always find it adorable when Jenny talks to me in her sleep, especially when my responses obviously provoke a reaction without waking her up.
Out of nowhere just now:
Her: Erm. Erm. If you’ve separated all the wood stuff how are you going to separate the rest?
Me: What wood stuff?
Her: From my bit.

I saw a link to this article about Dubai on Twitter today. Like zts, I found it an extremely disturbing read, stopping at many points to read out loud to anyone who would listen. I recommend that you read it too.
After having read through it, I suppose my first thought is to wonder [...]
Since moving in to this flat about 6 weeks ago, the following items have broken or started to behave oddly:
Humax PVR started displaying everything in a shade of pink when set to RGB output (like it always has been).

I don’t think I’m addicted to these things, but I do use social networking a fair bit.
On the microblogging front I use Twitter (mostly posting via Identi.ca).
For the classic social networking stuff I’m on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Somerset House for the last few years has screened some open air movies each summer. Here’s some advice if you’re going.
Do arrive 2+ hours before the movie starts when the doors open, as space goes quickly and you’ll want to stake your claim. Have a picnic.
Do not bring any glass bottles, they’ll only [...]
For the last 2 days I’ve been feeling shooting pains in one part of my head, a bit like a migraine. My eye on the same side felt a bit sore as well but I couldn’t see anything really wrong with it. It seemed to get better if I took my glasses off [...]
My mother and her partner Alan came down to London on Friday afternoon to see a show (Oliver!) I’d bought them tickets for. We let them do their own thing on the Friday, though I was pleased to hear that their tickets were front row seats which they very much enjoyed. Despite me [...]
