Working supports this blog

It’s really, really difficult harnessing enough agro to be cranky when I’m rested, awake, nourished, somewhat fitter, not worried about much and having a prolonged period of freedom from the original black dog. I’ve read some unexpectedly good books, arsed in great parking spots whenever I’ve had to drive, and the shitty things like not [...]

Come back later, too busy with my new mentors

With more than a million hits and hundreds of comments on every post, I’m last in line to know about Margaret and Helen and the whacky cross-section of society who post comments on their blog.
Thanks, Foodycat, I found them when clicking through your site!
I want to be them when I get older. Ah, bugger it, [...]

Get your butts outside tonight

In world-breaking astronomy news, Venus, Jupiter and the eyelash moon will form a smiley face in this evening’s sky. Have a look after 9pm and grin back at the happy formation.

I like books. Books are nice. Do you like books?

 
I’m a bit brain-foggy from a mysterious sleep drought, so until my mojo comes back, here’s librarytart, a new blog I’ve been working on. I have a mission to read the books from A to Z in my local library [1].
It could be fun as I’ll use the magic 8 ball to decide when to [...]

Finally, software that doesn’t hate me

I was scouting around the webiverse looking for mind mapping software to create and keep track of – I don’t know, stuff. Do you have those lightning-flash moments of wanting something, not understanding or questioning why you want it, and obsess for hours over mindless detail until the perfect something is located?
And then, the next [...]
