The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Quite literally. Frustrated by my attempts to find the One True Newsreader for Mac OSX (MacSOUP is close, but doesn’t follow the Aqua guidelines (and is missing a few minor functionality thingies)) I have embarked on a quest to write one. So far, it’s completely database driven, and as a result blindingly fast. Yum.

We’re planning our hols. We’re hoping to get a week at Blair Castle (Perthshire – just over the forth road bridge, past Pitclochry). There’s a very nice campsite there and the Highlands really are lovely in summertime. A week somewhere across the channel would be nice too. We’re thinking France or Germany. I think I’d

We were up in Lhanbryde (near Elgin) at the weekend, visiting Debbie’s sister. It was a lovely drive – about 4 hours each way, right through the highlands of Scotland. Went to a shop to buy some juice while we were there and it was, well, strange. I noticed that they had rowies on the

The contents of the garage at the time of the fire arrived this morning. They are a tad dusty but then they have been in storage for six months! They were cleaned and checked. I guess it means that John and I need to find a home for everything so a garage sort out will

I’ve spent much of today at my desk, which is always a good thing. Across from my desk is the titular Big Blue Curvy Thing. It’s a wall, about thirty feet across and fifteen feet high, which curves concavely away from me. It’s blue. If you have a Mac, you’d recognise it as Aqua blue.

I’ve been doing a spot of rearranging of nelefa.org and it’s uploading as we speak. It’s snowing pretty heavily here, on and off. It’s a bit wierd. Other than being utterly up to my eyes in it at work, there’s been very little actually going on. The new job is very satisfying, if a little

And so another week begins. Was through in Glasgow at the weekend. Godawful miserable place, that. It always rains for some reason. I’ve also started the laborious process of migrating Miserable Bastard to Black Cat Networks. Well, I’ve set up a .co.uk domain for it while the .com transfers, but there we go. I’m feeling

The engineer came on Thursday and the washing machine is now in working order. Im not sure if I should write to Watchdog or lodge a complaint to Comet After Sales Service themselves or to just leave it alone. I think it is absolutely disgusting for us to have to rely on friends/neighbours and to

The simple fact is, I started a nice new shiny job on the 12th of January. I now work for the esteemed Navyblue Design as Senior Systems Architect. It has been, to put it bluntly, an education. Very very busy, very creative. I seem to be surrounded by people with real vision, and as a

It has been 26 days since we phoned Comet After Sales service about our washing machine. After promising us that we would have a working machine on Monday then they have let us down. They have booked an engineer on Thursday (provisionally – they still have to confirm that) and if there is a engineer
