Those of you who have a certified nelefa habit will be aware of the chequered history we have with this house. Well, I’m delighted to announce that this is the last night we’ll be spending in it. On Friday, the accursed thing passes into the hands of some other poor sod, and good luck to

Because it’s just easy to lose yourself for an hour at lunchtime.

Anyone would think we never actually do anything cos the only time I ever post on here is about video games. Fair enough, we don’t do an awful lot, granted, but we do occasionally do some stuff that involves actually being outside and things. For example: This weekend, we mainly worked on the garden. Our

Gah! I’ve just had a hankering to play Yak Attack and discovered that it runs *horribly* in Windows XP 🙁 This is a Bad Thing(tm). Sadly, the source to the game was lost when we had a housefire and the only way to get it working properly would be to write it again from scratch.

It’s often said that everything has to come to an end eventually. In the case of root canal treatment, this is a good thing. In the case of a particularly fiery vindaloo, it’s not so good.

Well, maybe – I’m intending upgrading too WordPress 2.0 tonight, to fix some bugs in the RSS feed. In theory, it should all go very well, but I thought I’d mention it. Just in case it all goes, you know, wierd.

I have a resource leak on one of our live servers. It’s not seriously serious, but it’s certainly seriously annoying. The box in question is running a dozen or so pretty busy services and has an uptime of a shade over 577 days. And something has it 270K into the swap. Not a big issue,
