Tristan has this little beany turtle called Terrapi. He’s had it since he was tiny and it’s a very precious toy. Come to think of it, the wee thing has transcended toy and become part of the family. Well, against our recommendations, Terrapi went to school with Tristan today – it being end of term

I had a crap day yesterday. Wasn’t good. After being up all night with a sick child, I came in to work to discover that our Internet connection was scarfed. Ended up being down for almost ten hours, and as we host lots of sites, our clients were somewhat distressed. Bah. Anyway, now is Wednesday

Well, it depends on your definition of funny, I suppose. Due to a bizarre set of circumstances (which are largely of my own making) I’ve managed to lose not only my entire development archive (graphics, code, sounds, everything) but all the backups as well. tch, eh? Bit of a pain in the neck really. Not

More poultry fun, food fans! Debbie called Tesco up last night, to ask for some chicken-related advice. I’m not sure she managed to convey the proper level of dismay to the person on the other end of the phone though, because they were inclined to believe the situation was amusing rather than downright horrific.

Quote of the day from our seven-year-old. Little serious face on: “I’m not quite sure, but I think I might be falling in love with Kirsty. I’m not sure though.” Gahhhh. What do you say to that? Debbie almost swallowed her own head with mirth, and I managed to choke out “Well, don’t tell her

I’ve just read in the news that the UK goverment is stockpiling enough smallpox vaccinations to immunise the entire population of the UK in the event of a terrorist threat. People aren’t routinely vaccinated against smallpox anymore because it was wiped out several decades ago. So where do the terrorists get it from? Is it

Gah, that’s all I can say. Gah. Today, I shall wander up to Castle Street and return Splinter Cell to the branch of game from whence it came. “But why?” you cry, “it’s the best xbox game of the year!”. Because, my friends, it is a hiding simulator. That’s what you do in it –

Hello? Anyone home? Ah, there you are. So, what’s all this about then, eh? Nothing much, I suppose – just some vague ramblings about stuff that’s happening. Perhaps I should begin by telling you all a bit about myself – in case you care. Well, I was born in Mayfield, Scotland (just outside Edinburgh). I
