Groovy cloud

Check out the flash nebulosity of my new tag cloud. It’s cumulustastic!

Idiots abound

I was just on The Rolex Forum, scouting round sales corner. Please understand, I have no spare money with which to purchase another Rolex but there is no harm “window shopping.”

There is harm however, in spending £5,760 on a watch, that when you arrive home, you realise you cannot afford and should not have [...]

All in the eye of the beholder…

News in that some deluded Welsh family have seen Jesus in a lid of marmite.

You see Jesus. I see either Peter Sutcliffe or Lemmy from Motorhead. Or how about this – a smear of marmite.

Rolex 3135 movement

Here’s what goes into a Submariner’s movement.

Here’s how to put it all together again…

Wow!!!

P.S. Sorry about the music.

Uptime

It’s been a while since I checked the uptime on my Slackware server.

davidw@SlackFTP:~$ uptime 16:09:19 up 223 days, 21:12,

In fact it’s been 223 days. Good but still not the record which is over 300. So here’s hoping Scottish power can maintain a uninterrupted domestic electricity supply for over a year. Something they have [...]

Moblin2 Beta

Since I purchased my HP 2140, I have used it on a couple of business trips and around the house. It’s loaded with Ubuntu 8.04 which works well and is speedy. The only issue I have with it is that as the screen resolution is at a rather strange, 1024×576 there are occasions when there [...]

Big Eric

Eric Clapton is not God – because God does not exist while Eric does. He’s also rather nifty when it comes to playing the guitar. Not only that, he does he have excellent taste in watches, Rolex obviously , and he appreciates Leica.

Here he is, wearing what could either be a white gold or [...]

Shock, horror!

Irish Catholic priests have been fucking children for years with the Irish state’s deferential acceptance.

That’s not what’s so shocking – you elevate a religious minority, hand to them all moral, educational and “spiritual” authority whilst negating any reason, accountability or over-sight and you end up with institutionalised, state-sponsored child abuse. That’s inevitable with [...]
