Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
...and I appear to have lost the start of my blog. Boggle. Oh well, it makes no sense at all now. Not that anyone’ll notice 
Here, have a song! Written by someone else!
Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed
Wondering what to do
With a lump of wood, a piece of wire
And a little pot of glue
O Mamma O Mamma
He sawed at the wood with half a heart
And glued it top to bottom
He strung a wire in between
He was feeling something rotten
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus looked at his instrument
And he gave the wire a pluck
He heard a sound so beautiful
He gasped and said O my God
O Mamma O Mamma
He rushed inside to tell his wife
He went racing down the halls
Eurydice was still asleep in bed
Like a sack of cannonballs
O Mamma O Mamma
Look what I’ve made, cried Orpheus
And he plucked a gentle note
Eurydice’s eyes popped from their sockets
And her tongue burst through her throat
O Mamma O Mamma
O God, what have I done, he said
As her blood pooled in the sheets
But in his heart he felt a bliss
With which nothing could compete
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus went leaping through the fields
Strumming as hard as he did please
Birdies detonated in the sky
Bunnies dashed their brains out on the trees
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus strummed till his fingers bled
He hit a G minor 7
He woke up God from a deep, deep sleep
God was a major player in heaven
O Mamma O Mamma
God picked up a giant hammer
And He threw it with an thunderous yell
It smashed down hard on Orpheus’ head
And knocked him down a well
O Mamma O Mamma
The well went down very deep
Very deep went down the well
The well went down so very deep
Well, the well went down to hell
O Mamma O Mamma
Poor Orpheus woke up with a start
All amongst the rotting dead
His lyre tucked safe under his arm
His brains all down his head
O Mamma O Mamma
Eurydice appeared brindled in blood
And she said to Orpheus
If you play that fucking thing down here
I’ll stick it up your orifice!
O Mamma O Mamma
This lyre lark is for the birds, said Orpheus
It’s enough to send you bats
Let’s stay down here, Eurydice, dear
And we’ll have a bunch of screaming brats
O Mamma O Mamma
Orpheus picked up his lyre for the last time
He was on a real low down bummer
And stared deep into the abyss and said
This one is for Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma
O Mamma O Mamma

Woo. Yay. Etc.
fedora too (Intel open source accelerated graphics driver, wifi, bluetooth, etc). Which is pretty shiny. It’s just like my work one but a teensy bit slower and was a mere £430 off of eBay. Am dead chuffed. My first laptop bought without the aid of credit too 
Went to “A Binary Minefield” last week, Léigh’s clubnight. It was great fun, chilling out on a big leather sofa watching people perform bizarre but deeply cool electronica at us. Took many many pics (see flickr) and a bit of video too.
Novak died. And what’s more, she died on the day I accidentally bought a £400 laptop off of eBay, meaning I couldn’t afford to mend her. Suddenly stopped booting and there was a nasty smell of burnt sillicon about her. Got back from A Binary Minefield to discover this and so sat up until 1am fashioning a temporary server out of bits of Oliver’s old celeron. Which worked well enough to tide me over until the weekend
Jamie came over at the weekend and donated us a P4 motherboard and chip, I spent a time cleaning things out and making everything work as it should. Fingers crossed it’ll all be better now.
Dom popped round to pick up the überPC I’ve been building him too. He seems happy with it, which is good
Wrote my first SQL server stored procedure.
Got Owen to help out with bits of the new freakcity. Have created the front page. Need to build more of it before I put it on beta...hoping to get a feature complete version up in the next month or so, complete with customisable front page and some funky accessibility stuff. This rewrite will be from scratch tho, so might take longer, but hopefully will be leaner and work better.
Lunching means I’ve dried out a bit and am munching sushi, which is good. Apparently the weather in Glastonbury should be good tomorrow, which is noice. Hopefully seeing Danny on Friday, if he sorts his shit out. Am so looking forward to 5 days with not much to do.
Was off work yesterday because I felt shite. Feeling a bit better now tho, but still not great.
Growing a bit bored of facebook. Wonder what the next big thing is gonna be?
This made me giggle:
Out cycling yesterday to top up my ill ill ill bank balance, biked past Lee Hurst walking his doggie in Limehouse Basin. In a lovely hat too. Aww...
I’ve just been moved at work. I now get a window seat
Camping tomorrow. Packing tonight. I am happy.
Back to work Wednesday.
