Anyone think of a suitable caption for this?

More Snow!

Didn’t settle this time though. Some more pictures for you poor southerners.

Darius tried to root my computer. Even with local access though, he still couldn’t get to anything. TMX’s computer security, 1, Darius’ Hack skillz, nil :) Need to do some backups at somepoint as well; it’s been 2 weeks since the last set.

Regular readers of this will note that although this is supposed to be my personal blog, there is not actually a lot of personal content in it.

I’ve decided to change this, starting today.

Resolution 0: no use of the backspace key while writing this entry.

So. Resolution 1: Write more in this

People E-mail me. I don’t email back. I just add their message to the list of ones that need to be replied to. I don’t know why I do it, I always have plenty to put in an email to them. I generally like writing, so I don’t know why. Well i do, I’m just not going to write it here.

Resolution 2: Reply to people’s emails. Reply to all the emails currently in the list. This means you may receive some very odd emails from me in the next few days.

Resolution 3: Write more code. Musicians practice, sportsmen train. I should write code. Just to practice.

Resolution 4: Post to the spoke. Once per week. I will start by writing something on SQL after I complete this.

So. Proper blog.

Saw Kong on Monday, with Jo, Matt, and Naomi (think that was her name).
It was a little long, but a surprisingly good film.

I expected it to be a little naff to be honest, but it turned out to be rather good.

**SPOILER ALERT** (highlight to read)

The basic plot was some movie director finds a map, enlists an out of work actress and a boat crew, goes to the island, get captured, actress is given to kong, kong takes a shine to actress, actress escapes, kong pursues, kong is captured, put in a show, kong gets irritated and goes on a killing spree, finds actress, climbs empire state building, and gets shot down.

The special effects were pretty good, but there were one or two times when I noticed a few “rough edges” (you would have to be me though to spot them, really technical, nerdy, geeky things).

After, we walked around Oxford for a bit, grabbed lunch at Sainsburies, where I demonstrated that doing computer science does not certify you to use the self service tills, and my fantastic numeracy skills, all within 5 minutes.

Today was WFRP at Chippies (similar, but not entirely akin to D+D). After sentencing Wills character to the bathroom for 16 hours with a Curse spell, I have decided that I may make a better spellcaster than I do rogue.

D+D and Victorias tomorrow. Should be a fun day.

TMX Out.

OMG, SQUIRREL!

Posted on December 6th, 2005 in Caption Competitions by TheMysteriousX

I woke up this morning, and went downstairs, intedning to go do some washing, when what should confront me on the middle landing, but a squirrel. A grey furred tree rat, unable to find its way back out. After watching it look around the landing for a minute or two, I stood behind it and forced it down the stairs.

I then shut it in the ground floor toilet while I propped open the front door. I opened the toilet door, thumped on the wall, and Mr Squirrel went happily on his way, albeit at a very high speed.
