Amy of nb Lucky Duck found this map on the Internet; It is a nice visual representation of the waterways in London, in the style of Harry Beck’s London Underground Map.
One of the things that annoys me is having lots of Icons on my Desktop; I like to have my currently connected drives; and perhaps a few other icons; but everything else should live as stacks in my dock. One of the things I have lived with until now is […]
After a step away from using wordpress, I am back to using it; old posts will be back soon, as will some new posts. At some point I should also write a post about the technology and software that goes into running this site, as well as outline my workflow.
While I don’t agree that AV (Alternative Vote) is the best system; it’s the one we are being offered; it also looks like the official Yes! to Fairer Votes campaign is being run by a bunch of people who don’t get the web. The Arguments put forwards by the group […]
Jason “The Juice Master” Vale’s “7lbs in 7 days: Super juice Diet” is a book I read in conjunction with Task 81 of my Day Zero Project. I really don’t like his writing style; and I have to take issue with some of the things he writes, while most […]

One of those interesting PDF’s you pick up while moving around is the 2000 issue of the Railway Junction Diagrams book. This is one of those documents that most people who use the tube every day will never have thought about; like the Quail Diagram Books for the National Rail […]
Some people know how I feel about large scale wind farms; and Photovoltaic Cells; for use in the UK (hint it’s a good way of requiring more Gas Turbines to be built). However when living off the Off The Grid, are they any use? On my recent walk along […]
Leonna Black’s “Rough Sex: An Explicit Fantasy” is a Kindle book that jumps about more than I would like, and one that I did not enjoy as much; th subject matter covered in this book is less caring and loving than I prefer; its not really a book about exploratory […]
Elinor Carr’s “Pleasing Him: An Erotic Story of Submission” clearly says on the cover its an Adults Only book 😀 This is another book about a new job leading to interesting circumstances; or is it. Another mainly enjoyable eBook; with a twist at the end; I really should read a […]

Walking round the country side, I see a number of these signs on the side of foot paths, they are not very subtile. I am going to stick my neck out, and assume the idiot who did this understands what the above sign means, and though that bagging their dog’s […]
I managed it, After last nights aborted attempt to walk from Culham, to Clifton Hampden, I completed the first documented part of my Task 8. Culham is an example of a shrunken village. The manor house and church are meagre remains of a medieval settlement. The medieval village lay to […]
