I saw this picture today and I had a little chuckle to myself when I read this post on a roller coaster forum I read. Not sure if it’s BREAKING NEWS, but… We (the coaster nerds) have been following the construction of this since around this time last year, so “BREAKING NEWS” hardly fits. I [...]
I’m not really sure where the inspiration came from, but today I woke up wondering how you might be able to visualise time in a new and weird way. Perhaps it was the recent binary day, the last of my lifetime, which made me think of the idea for HexClock. Maybe it was just because [...]
Just sent this email around to the team at work: If you don’t know what that means, roll your eyes and think to yourself “bloody nerds” If you do, convert 11/11/11 11:11:11 binary into hex. (If you didn’t and you’re still reading this, it’s probably time to roll your eyes again.)
I saw that they were selling them in Tesco for £1.97. £1.97!! (If you could type capital numbers, those last ones would have been). It would have been rude not to. Especially as I already owned this guy from the first series: I’m sorely tempted to go crazy and collect the whole set.
Up until this time last week, my shiny new bike had mostly been sat there collecting dust, then having it washed off by the rain ready for the cycle to complete. That’s not a happy life for a bike. So last Monday, I took it for a ride to work (yes, I know it was [...]
This morning I stupidly said on Twitter that I would do a dance when I reached 400 followers. I didn’t expect anyone to notice or care, but some people did and started badgering me. So, I made it. Here it is. Don’t laugh too much ;) The bit where I’m laying down was me attempting [...]
Continuing on from the email from a nice russian desperate lady, I had a reply from her! I must say that it appeared in my inbox suspiciously quickly, it could be said that with her level of English and a human level of typing skills that it was an auto-reply. But let’s not down-play her. [...]
We all get lots of spam, and a lot of that spam is from people who are pretending to be nice russian ladies who are desperately trying to come to England. In december last year, we at One all got a lot from a person called Lauren, who used to be quite chatty, but has [...]
Science Oxford Live put on Oxford’s first PechaKucha night last night. The basic idea is that you have 20 slides, each displayed for 20 seconds, and do a quick-fire presentation. I was lucky enough to be one of the presenters last night, but had very limited time to prepare, so naturally talked about the one [...]
You know the drill. It’s the new year and you notice you haven’t blogged enough. So you apologise to the few readers you still have, apologise, and promise that this time, it’ll be better. Honest.
