Well, I should have looked harder at the motherboard spec, evidently... Anyone: a) want to buy 4GB (2 sticks) of DDR3 RAM from me, I paid £83, make me an offer. ... http://nowebsite.co.uk/blog/2010/02/bad-memory/ Was great to see folks from out of town visiting last week.

I feel as though this has been coming for an awfully long time, and yet my mind keeps going over and over what we could have done differently to avoid this. However with me being me, and Dan ... http://nowebsite.co.uk/blog/2009/11/the-break-up/ I frequent Bicon, and many people there have self-identifying labels which, if I use them in the outside world, are rejected or laughed at by even my closest friends.

Despite my complete lack ... http://nowebsite.co.uk/blog/2009/05/herofest/ I'm not going to witter on about this because there's not a lot to say, but I did indeed go without buying clothes for an entire year, with the exceptions of a) a fancy dress costume and b) A pair of shoes because I was getting blisters going up the ... http://nowebsite.co.uk/blog/2009/04/no-clothes-for-a-year/ And thus, today's xkcd is particularly funny. Though I have a feeling cowbirds in love already did it, but I can't find the comic in question. Let me know if you do. Also: A man goes to a doctor of physics. He says "doctor, doctor! I keep hearing Gaussian noise! Is this normal?" http://nowebsite.co.uk/blog/2009/02/ive-been-modelling-statistics-for-weeks/ This rant by an employee sums up my thoughts on the above sentence better than I can probably put them.
