Moving house. Probably.
Jul 16, 2009
I just went to meet a prospective housemate. See, two friends of mine are heading darn sarf for (at least) a few years and, rather than sell their present house, intend to rent it out. It seems a pretty good deal - rent is slightly cheaper than current place, though I think we will be paying water rates and council tax, which is covered in current rent. Also it's a pretty nice house and they've just had it rewired, so is unlikely to explode whilst I'm there.
Anyhow, prospective housemate and I did recognise each other from having met before (like some people thought we would), and it seems like we'd get on and not be at each other's throats over whose turn it is to do the cleaning and stuff.

I am  ing like a loon at the news that Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty  , is to return: http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland/faq
And I couldn't be more pleased at the studio that's doing it. Telltale's Sam & Max games are fantastic (if you don't believe me try the free download of Abe Lincoln Must Die!), and it looks like they're ramping up the complexity and making a full-on, old school adventure epice which just happens to be released in five episodes.

Dara O'Briain is a geek

I've long been impressed at O'Briain's sciency jokes - particularly when he got Gillian McKeith put in Room 101. What he does brilliantly is the way he puts things over; I forget which show it was but he got a laugh out of Pascal's wager.
So, Dara O'Briain as the new Johnny Ball anyone?

Hi all,
Just an apology for my absence, and particularly for not getting on with my Subbing duties (in my defence I was waiting to here from the author who seems to have disappeared). I am currently without a home connection to the webosphere, because one housemate is moving out and has cancelled his package and the one who was meant to arrange a new one clearly hasn't and appears to have gone off on holiday. Bah.

"Our aim should not be more government. It should be smarter government."
That won't be difficult.
