Much as I love Nandos, the smell drifting up from the new one on Baker Street is pretty overwhelming. Makes me want to piri-piri, all the time, which would clearly be a bad thing.
“Hey Jeff, I just saw a whale eating a chicken.” — no good thing can come of this.
Had an awesome weekend in the lake district, and slowly getting used to London again. Amazingly, seem to have gotten ill following all the fresh air, but hopefully nothing too dramatic and plan on being up on feet at work tomorrow.
Many, many photos on Flickr photostream, but a quick one here to set us off…
Note: Bonus photos for registered friends and family.
Off to the Lake District (stalkers take note). V. exciting! Mountains and everything, and even managed to hit the sales at my local hiking store so feel affordably well-equipped.
Expect some pictures and anecdotes following the weekend, but no posts from the mountainside. Not taking a great deal of tech with me (shock, horror!), planning on one of those naturist return to nature weekends.
FInally returned to Winamp, having not used it since version 2.8x. iTunes has been my music player of choice since getting an iPod Nano, but suspect that the far, far less bloated Winamp will once again win my heart. Ironic, since it was the bloated v3 of Winamp that switched me off its service in the first place…
And I love having a media player that natively supports WMA and doesn’t have to offensively convert it to an “m4u” file first… Now I just need to get a fresh Last.fm plugin and some sort of iPod plugin (does one of those exist? It must do…).
Sorry, all the mess I had was because I was a cheapskate and bought my domain from 1&1 and have my hosting with 34sp and was negotiating getting my domain host to point to my web host. Chris, and everyone else, was fed up with the nonsense division6.34sp.com rubbish, so wanted to fix it.
Unfortunately, as 1&1 also hosted my email, there were complications in arranging that, but thanks in part to excellent technical support from 34sp and in larger part to fantastic technical support from Chris, we should be working.
It might take a little time for the domain changes to propogate through everyone’s DNS servers, but you should soon seen a fixed Division6… And then I’ll look at getting myself a funky Ajax-ified theme!
Upgraded! Going to change theme to include some cool Ajax functionality but that will take a bit of work. For now you have to trust me that I’ve got a cool, powerful backend, and all the cool bits in my sidebar took a lot of (Chris’) time to get working – Thanks Chris!
So; prepare all of you for a mind-bogglingly impressive upgrade to the front end in the next month or two…
I apologise if you’re unable to comment on any posts – have had to disable some features of the site owing to apparently being a target of some fairly irritating comment spam. Will be up and running again soon – hopefully Chris will help me upgrade to WP2.0.1 soon!
Damian’s finally started blogging, at full speed and in quite an entertaining fashion. Thanks to Chris, as ever, for setting him up. He’ll be spouting travel anecdotes, cultural observations, pictures and podcasts from La Paz, and will provide some interesting, amusing, acerbic and probably cynical commentary.
