  • An Interesting Podcast

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteI listen to a lot of current affairs programs but occasionaly I enjoy listening to more light hearted podcasts. Over the past two or three days I have been listening to John Foster’s Beerschool. This is a podcast aimed at those who want to learn to appreciate more than one type…

  • Appreciating The Gotheburg

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteToday I went down to see the East India ship sailing under Tower Bridge. First time in three years of living in London I see the draw bridges raised. Bands were playing and spectators were watching. Here are the other pictures

  • Finding a new flat

    Reading Time: 3 minutesThere are a lot of people currently in need of a new identity due to their university lives coming to an end and I am one of them. Today I went flat hunting and there are a few things I found out about myself. The first of these is that I really…

  • It’s Like A Night Out In The Savannah

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteNights in halls are like nights out in the Savannah. Since the drunk party sound coming through walls is a given that’s the sound of crickets and frogs. It’s constantly there and theoretically you should eventually learn to sleep through it over time. Of course it’s not quite constant enough. Then…

  • I Haven’t Had a Proper Night’s Sleep in 85 Days

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteSince I left Switzerland after doing some work on the 21st of February I haven’t had a proper night’s sleep for 85 days. That’s a long time. I wish there was a soundproof chamber into which I could go. What if I designed and built a soundproof bed? Wouldn’t be that…

  • Twitter is Suffering

    Reading Time: < 1 minutesource Twitter is suffering and Jaiku is showing off about how great that website is in comparison. They omit to mention two facts. 1. It’s (giving the impression of being) proprietary, interesting mainly to Nokia users (at the moment) 2. It’s better online (requires a browser to take full advantage) Twitter…

  • A Stream of Conscience on Noise and Flat Hunting.

    Reading Time: 2 minutesAs the title indicates I’ve upgraded to the new version of WordPress and I’m trying it now. I’ll have to see what the great features are in this version. I know that they were having some last-minute problems with tags but we’ll see whether they resolved those. Aside from changing browser today…

  • Noise and Liveable Flats

    Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s only 130am therefore it’s not that late but I want to sleep and there is something that has been hindering this effort particularly strongly for the past three nights. Drunken people with no pitch or tone control when singing using their lungs and voice projection to full pelt. It’s not that…

  • Without Instilling Fear Fire Alarms Are deafening But No More.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteI’m suffering from complete apathy for fire alarms. I really hate them. I’ve been hearing idiots make noise till 3 am but thought that I could attempt sleeping. Wrong at 0340 AM there was noise, then for at least 20 minutes at four am. Now it’s 5:52 and I’m awake but…

  • The Blogosphere Is Finished with University. Here’s Proof.

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteHere is some evidence to demonstrate that I am not the only one to have finished university and there are a lot of really happy people around. I’ve been so lazy for the past two days because I can. Nothing is hanging over me anymore so I’m taking advantage of this…
