OK then, let me introduce you to a mighty potentate within King’s College Hall, something that we all truly respect. The PowerShower, Of Power. This is no ordinary shower. I would attempt to provide you with documentary proof but it’s innocent exterior belies a malign beast within. After the usual fussing around with the UI of the shower and being either scorched or frozen I managed to find a happy medium of temperature. »
So, Saturday then. If you’ve been a regular visitor you’ll probably have seen my note: “sex pistols, trail of dead, sun @ crystal palace. excellent”. Wapblogger is a curiously cool thing, my companion didn’t seem over impressed by it though. I explained it twice in coming up to excruciating detail, didn’t seem to make much impression. In fact he started to look at me oddly after that. But back to first principles. »
Whilst wandering up to the end of the garden to hang out the washing I saw a curious sight. Well, not immediatly, as I was labouring under the heavy burden of the washing basket which made my slow look up, leap ten feet in the air move look even more comic to the invisible observer 10 feet above my left shoulder that role playing games have tought me exists everywhere. »
“Transformers, robots in disguise!” Rarely have those words been spoken without an alomst suicidaly Japanese sense of enthusiam. For those unfortunates (myself included) who were unhappy enough to grow up in the early 80’s watching, playing, dreaming about and generally interacting in a full on childish obsession was not uncommon. I myself possesed optimus prime. That is all. Little more needs to be said. So it’s insuprising that as we Transformers fans grow up and start to become prosperous twentysomethings DVD releases and other marketing tie-ins are scheduled. »
Thomas Castaignede is absolutley insane. Not only is he one of the best rugby players ever to have played for France but he’s a very nice bloke too. Which makes it all the more sad that a terrible injury has kept him out of the team for the past year. But he’s till optimistic, happy and totally comitted to the club, unlike some other foreign imports. In this interview he talks about his fear of Sarries going down, he doesn’t sound like a bored player moving from one paycheque to the next; but a real fan. »

The White Stripes Rock. So you would expect their Video for ‘Fell In Love with a Girl’ to rock too. And it does, in Lego animation stylee. If you have broadband you must check this out. If not then it’s still worth the wait. Good music too. »
Today was one of the most satifying rugby watching experiences of my life. Nice. After criticism, frailty and appaling injuries Sarries, my team, against a team who’d taken us to the cleaners with a 50 point demolition only a month or so ago. We won convincingly, and predictably the large (13,500) crowd were just as delighted as the players. »
The Register speaks: “Last week Sistina released version 5.0 of the open source GFS clustered file system. It richly deserves its obscurity rating - any FAQ that begins with the question “Is STOMITH absolutely required?” can be judged to have a small but intense following.” Priceless. »
Analyse this paragraph from The Independent: “While ITV has floundered the BBC has marched on. The dear old corporation was first with a 24 hour news channel, first to brand its classic repeats, first to see the value of the Internet as a seamless link between television, radio and the web” This does not make sense in any way, shape or form. Let’s dissect this. Slowly. Firstly an excellent mixed metaphor, floundering relating to swimming and marching to walking. »
