Back From Skiing

January 24th, 2009

I guess I shouldn’t be amazed by how quickly the glow from a holiday wears off after intersecting with work. Photos linked below for those that are interested.

Exploding Barrels are Red

January 7th, 2009

If video games have taught me anything it’s that explosive barrels are red, and that all buildings have a liberal supply of them to use as impromptu ammunition against ones enemies. The heating at work has been broken all week, resulting in the following scene.

Well at least we are well stocked for the impending zombie invasion/rift in space-time/teleporter accident.

Resolutions

January 4th, 2009

Or should that be vague plans?

  • Attend FOSDEM. I’ve been incredibly lazy the last few years and haven’t attended.
  • Try to prevent the PET Centre from eating my life. This is probably more of a vain hope than a resolution.
  • Buy a flat or learn to drive. Because unless I make it an either/or I will do neither.
  • Attend the spring UKUUG meeting. Understanding kerberos is probably a worthwhile endeavour even if I never use it.
  • Skate more. Assuming we actually get a summer this year it shouldn’t be to hard to top the dismal amount of skating I did last year.
  • Attend at least one observing night of the Cardiff Astronomical Society to remember what the night sky is supposed to look like.
  • Migrate Peapod to a sensible modern XML library to fix some of its more annoying bugs
  • Make an effort to visit friends. Which is just code for be less of a social hermit.
